How large is your music collection?


At one time I had about 5000 CDs and I sold them due to the fact that I had no room for them and most of them I didn't listen to at all. In the last few years I add a title to my collection only if it is really good and worthy of multiple listens and the enjoyment value is high. My current collection is less than 1000 for both CD and vinyl.

I've got a friend that has so many CDs, SACDs, LPS, etc. that even if he listened for 8 hours a day he would never repeat the same selection in more than 10 years. To me that just doesn't make sense but it makes him happy so I guess that is what counts.

How about everyone here? Do you add just to add or do you keep your collection, like me, to just the best of the best.

I have about 1000 CD's right now, including DVD-A and SACD.

I'm in the process of downloading as FLAC files, and am purchasing hi-rez music online. Eventually I plan on having the whole collection on hard drive, and only have certain CD's, like the upcoming King Crimson 'In the Court of the Crimson King' boxset as physical media.

Real estate for the collection is getting to be a hassle. Especially since my wife is a Marine, and we move a lot...
