Mine is quite little compared to most people here on audiogon. I have about 115 cd's and 50 lp's which includes every style from Jazz , Contemporary Classical, Rock, Electronic , Blues , to Avant-Garde etc... I've been starting to build a music collection about 4-5 years ago (i'm now 22years old.) Most of my spending went into building my system which I consider an excellent starter audio system. Now I can concentrate on building up my music collection , there are endless titles that I would like to get my hands on and such little time!
How's your music library?
When looking through the systems on A-gon, people's music libraries are frequently missing, not shown, or possibly not in the same room. After all the $$$ spent on one's system, I'd like to know what's behind all of this. After all, it is the entire raison d'être for audiomania.
I had a collection of about 200+ LPs that I've recently sold or given away; finally able to emotional divorce myself from the vinyl I started acquiring as a teenager. I began building my CD collection about 15-16 years ago. It's now 636 titles and nearly 700 discs. It spans the globe and periods from the Renaissance though 20th century, BeBop to Acid Jazz, Afro Celt to Zap Mama, and a fair dose of Rock & Pop. Recently, the fastest growing genre has been 20th century music which has surpassed earlier "classical" music but still trailing the Jazz and World sections. A modest collection certainly, and compared to a friend who has a library (unfortunately uncatalogued) of well over 2000 titles, quite modest. He's gotta music library! I suspect there are quite a few other impressive libraries out there. Please tell us.
