Poll: How big is your CD collection ?

37 replies

1800 cd's🙂

CDpedia tells me that I have 872 CDs and I have 170GB of music in iTunes. I haven't bought a CD for over a year. I prefer to download my music now.

658 CDs... Bought 2 last week ;-)

I have just counted and there are 64 CDs. I had about 100 more before but I copied them to iTunes then sold them on Amazon a couple of years ago so I could still get something back before CDs become redundant to the digital world. The one's I have kept are my favorites and they will used on the BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century and in the car!

You do realize that's very naughty if you ask the relevant organizations, don't you? 😕

I haven't sold a single record in my life. Some have been lent and never came back, though... I think I have around 250 CD's and about 100 vinyls, and it can go weeks that I don't listen to any of them, I mostly listen to radio. I think my digital audio is limited to ten or so mp3s...

I have over 300 cd's (last count was some time last year and I only bought 5 cd's since)

About 50 vinyl records and no downloaded mp3's 

Though I did rip a couple of our favorite cd's to lossless for my wife's ipod.

 

500!

No idea! iTunes reckons I have 30617 items on it, though I am still recording my LPs slowly!

I have about 1200 CDs, and 1 record! (and the record hasn't arrived yet)

This reminds me of series of letters in the 'Gramophone' magazine many years ago when someone was questioning the wisdom of having large record collections.

They pointed out that, for someone like me with 1200 CDs, and assuming that I play 5 CDs a day 5 days a week, it would take me a year to listen to my entire collection just once!.  Some people wrote letters (remember them?) saying they had record collections in excess of 5,000 LPs.  Do the math!

According to iTunes, mine would take 84 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes and 4 seconds. And that would be continuous listening. The big advantage of having it on HDD is that I can listen to anything almost instantaneously rather than digging through my records or CDs.
