I just found out I have 542 cd’s. Half of it is rock (mostly alternative), one quarter hiphop and one quarter eletronica. I haven’t even found the time to listen to them all. How many do you have? ---

Crikey, that’s a lot of CDs; I have 50 at most. Are there any in your collection that you haven’t listened to at all, even once? ---

Well, at the weekend, I managed to buy the record ‘Paranoid’ by Black Sabbath. It cost me 50 cents at a flea market. Babyboomers will understand. ---

I have more than 100 CDs and more than 100 tapes. In the whole batch, there are only a few that I would sell, even if given half list price for. (To make things more interesting, let me tell you that one of them is “OK Computer”.) ---

I think I’ve close to 250 CDs and in addition to that around 500 MP3s that I don’t have physical copies of. They’re mostly random songs from artists who I wouldn’t by a whole CD of music from. It also helps that I’m trying to compile a complete Radiohead and Weezer collection. Pretty close on the latter… ---

771 CDs. About half rock, half metal, with some other stuff at least represented. Nobody really wants me to publish the list, I’d think. ---

I have somewhere between 700 and 800. Some metal, some rock, some grunge, some rap, some hip-hop, some classical, some electronica, some world, some miscellaneous. I have listened to every single one of them at one point or another. I can never understand people who own albums they haven’t listened to. I just can’t fathom that. ---

This past weekend I started copying all our CD’s to disk, in preparation for making a copy for each fof us, and keeping the original master copy safe from scratches. Man! We have a lot, but not even close to 542. Maybe 100-150. Classic rock, country, and blues. ---

> [@Small Clanger](#): > > How the flipping heck did/do you finance that? I don’t have any children, I don’t drink or have a drug habit, and I don’t own a car (so I don’t have to feed it or fix it or insure it). That frees up a bunch of spending money right there! Besides, I got a head start- I began collecting in 1963. We’re not going to count the thousands of records that got stolen on five different occasions in the past. ---

I have listened to every single one of them at one point or another. I can never understand people who own albums they haven’t listened to. I just can’t fathom that. I do plan on listening to the ones I haven’t listened to… just didn’t find the time yet but still I wanted the music. ---

I just counted and got 49, but I could easily be off slightly. One of them, I just got and haven’t opened yet. There’s only one band that I own 3 CDs from. All other bands/artists, I only have 1 or 2. ---

I have about a 100, and then mebbe a thousand or so MP3s, about half of which have been ripped from my cds. ---

Just finished ripping my CDs, but the machine they’re on is at home so I don’t have precise counts, but around 830 CDs, translating to about 11,000 MP3s. I’ve listened to probably 98% at least once.
