Listening practices

How much of your music collection have you actually listened to at least once?
I began to wonder this about my own collection since I usually find myself going back to the same recordings. I determined I have probably listened to about 2/3's of my music.
When I realized this I began a process of listening to the first LP in each section of my record rack. I plan to go through each rack like this. So far I have listened to several things for the first time.
In the last couple of days I listened to Tennessee Ernie Ford and Jack Jones, which were followed up by Alice Cooper. It was a strange combination, but I'm having fun.
What has your experience been?

I've listened to every song on every CD and every LP at least once.

I used to have a customer that easily had 5000 CDs and twice that in LPs (he had a 10x12 guest room totally full of LPs in racks).

Half of his software, again conservatively, was still in plastic. He used to say "I hate not having new music to listen to".

Had an ARC tube preamp, one of their SS amps, and Martin-Logans old enough I had to install new panels in them. Really nice guy, what the hell was his name....big Coke memorobilia collector-- he's probably on here somewhere....
