How Many CD's do you own?

Posted by: Develyn on 27 December 2010

How many do you currently physically own?

I just added my 312th (Hooverphonic)

All loaded on my UnitiServe.

PS. I purchased my first CD in March of 1985!

If you wait a few days MilesSmiles and Lontano will be able let you know if they start counting now.

Me though about 250 a quarter my vinyl collection.

Around 1200 CD, 900 LPs.

About 8 metres worth and two ever growing stacks on the window sill. I think that is about 600 Smile

I lost count about four or five years ago. I estimate about 4500. Hell, I have over 500 of just Beethoven piano sonatas. I may need help - finding an appropriate storage solution.

About 450... all ripped onto FLAC now, so the silver disks are in the loft.

About 600 CDs & 2000 on the Black stuff!

I can't count that high but I guess round 9000 CDs.

To put that in perspective. Purchasing one CD per day, it would take almost 25 years to reach this amount. Amazing.

About 500 classical CDs here

And around 3,500 the rest here

Something like 2,000 LPs and 3 or 4,000 singles. Not catalogued (yet).

I am in a similar situation, even concerning the Beethoven Sonatas. Winker Smile

Haven't counted them for several years, but last time it came to >4000 LPs and just under 2000 CDs. They sure take up a hell of a lot of room. Winker

Of course, the sad thing is that most of them will never get another playing by me.

CDs - official release 1200-1300
Vinyl - 150
CDs - bootlegs/live recordings/sessions 1200 ish?
Probably 500-800gig of Flac files of live recordings waiting to be burned to CD and DVD, or deleted.

No Van Morrison or Rory Gallagher either.

Around 70 live soundboard Led Zeppelin recordings, many complete shows. Plus everything they have released officially, two or three times for many albums.
20 official Underworld live releases, and 50 bootlegs/webcasts/etc. Everything they have released on CD, or vinyl, that I have managed to get hold of, maybe a couple of singles missing.
Must be well over 50 Pearl Jam official live releases, maybe over 100.
150-200 Tangerine Tree and Leaves (fan/bootleg) releases.
12 Miles Davis box sets, I am sure others have more, plus 30 or so albums.

I am going to show my wife this thread so she will no longer think I am crazy Big Grin

About 4000 LP's and 1600 CD's. Huge collection of mid 60's-early 70's Southern Soul on vinyl and the accompanying 70's Black gospel.
