How Big is Your Music Collection?
I was just wondering how large of a collection people have? I have about 6000 songs but most ppl tell me that i have way too many. Personally i love it and will continue to amass a larger collection as long as there continues to be great music out there.
i used to collect hardcore...till i realized i collected for the sake of collecting and one day looked at my collection and said wippy doo i have hundreds of live sets ad thousands of singles that i never listen to.
That spawned my great delete...i deleted 90% of it and now am stuck with a collection that i love...more importantly that i listen to.
Large overbaring music collections are for n00bs that think if they have every thing ever made they are some how bigger fans.
Quality over quanity any day.
About 400 vinyls
About 200 cd's
And 2 TA DJ Promos:
DJ RJT - After Hours
Allied Nations - Something's Here
EDIT: and 59 Beatport tracks, forgot about those
as it stands 30 gigs worth (including live sets and the cd's i imported into the library).
cd's alone I have 35
who cares how much music you dl for free? i respect people that have spent the thousands of dollars on vinyl/cd/mp3 that keep the scene going simply because of their passion for the music...
i wanna be one of those people hehehe 
If you wanna talk sheer numbers... 7650 songs, amounting to 48 GB of music on my iTunes. No wonder I had to install another hard drive this past week... and I know people whove got more than twice that amount. I can name about 97% of the tracks in my library within a minute, tops. I only listen to about 20% of my library on a regular basis, I'll admit, but I do appreciate the rest of it. I have over 120 store-bought CDs (which amounts to over $1400 spent), and about an equal number of downloaded ones, and all the Essential Mixes from 2005 and 1995 (not counted on my iTunes playlist).
I maintain, however, that I would not have bought at least half of my collection were it not for downloading, so I say downloading is a positive thing (not to start an argument here). Besides, most musicians make their money on tour, not from album purchases. That's where the record company makes its dough...
6,000 songs is not too big of a collection. When you get to 60,000 songs, come and talk to me

I personally have about 150 Vinyls, easily 400 CDs (Albums and Compilations) and enough music on my computer to listen to music for over a month straight I'm sure.
Unlike some however, I cherish every tune in my collection and rotate what I listen to fairly regularly, also, It's been a slow build to have what I have now, I can't just download 50 gigs in a month or something because my internet has always been really slow.
I <3 my collection, and I love being able to to suit almost any of my listening preferences with a couple clicks. And making CD's for the car is always fun.. just delve into it headfirst .
According to Discogs I have 377 vinyls, CD's and DVD's... I left half of my CD's to my brother when I moved out so it would be over 400 if they were added.
I have around 30-40GB of mp3 and wav files too but those are mostly ripped from my own CD's so they're pretty much the same.
Somewhere in the ballpark of 500-550 releases on CD. It's all I collect really, and, if I download anything (which is rare these days), it's going straight to CD as well. FOOK MP3 quality! (well, 320 ain't too bad, but that's starting to defeat the whole purpose of 'compressed music files' when you get to that size)
Rob from High Fidelity says you aren't a true lover of music unless you have over 500 records ...I'm working on it..

i own 338 vinyl
over 20 cds
hitting the 15000 mark in mp3s now.
planning on deleting about 10000 of those soon getting tired of trax i never even listen to taking up space
As mentioned before, quality over quantity any day. I pretty much have most of my music from '92 onwards that spans vinyl,cd and tape!!
Can't really quantify how much I have, but I would estimate it to be well over 30,000-40,000 tracks.
110gb
most of u ppl are just multiplying the truth !!!!!!!
40 000 yeah right
me i have 1 000 000 tracks ! LOL
Whats so hard to believe sonny boy?
The word was 'tracks' not albums/compilations.
about 200gb worth (200 data cds of livesets so thats 120gb then bout another 80gb on my computer), 100 odd compilation cds.
interesting post,
65 gig music on my comp, shed loads of albums, and 400+ vinyl, although vinyls getting too dam expensive now being a student!but the loans just come through so hey, im off to town record shopping!
max
I started collecting in 2000 or so, and have since accumulated probably around 180 GB of music files in addition to all the CD's I bought. I buy about 5 cd's every year on average and then download alot of livesets.
I mostly collect ameteur music now days, I like when I can meet a musician in a chat room or something and when that person has enough time to sit around and talk to people about their music, and I like it when musicians encourage people to share their stuff the way most ameteurs do.
I have this cd changer that holds 60 cd's and a book that holds about 48 cd's and both of them are almost full. About 3/4 of those cd's are data cd's with 700 or so megs of mp3's on them. I tend to fill up my hard drive with tunes then when I want more I will dump all of them onto cd's to make room(I have a 30 gig hard drive with about 8 reserved for music). I started doing this when I got a cd burner in 2001, alot of those cd's have since stopped working due to age.
I will usually put my cd changer on random and listen when I am doing stuff around the apartment, I don't sit in front of my computer and listen to music much these days anymore because I only have a laptop and it has a shitty sound card.
650 Vinyl
200+ CD's (Singles/Compilations)
