Why so much????


In response to a post appearing here yesterday a number of 'AGon-people' claimed to have CD and vinyl collections numbering in the hundreds and even thousands. Other posters questioned the need for so much music (impossible to listen to all of it!) while others spoke of a pissing contest among the 'overly endowed'.
Your thoughts are requested for the following questions:
1) How much is too much?
2) To those with so much...Why? What's your rationale?
3) Are you crazy?

Just curious. I'll give my thoughts later.

better question- why can't i get cd's of record alblums i used to cherish ? so much material will never ever appear on the store shelves again. i suggest someone (an ex-dj perhaps) devote their vast collection of vinyl to those who would pay $25 for them to burn a cd for them. a digital camera could capture the paperwork for another $10. i don't need another hi-rez edition of "cafe blue". anyone out there have a copy of leo wijnkamp jr.- rags to riches-kicking mule records??
great alblum, and just one of hundreds i wish i could get. what about dave brubeck-my favorite things- that's right, out of print. luckily i HAVE the record, and it's as good as anything he's ever done. but it's a worn, used copy. what about louis armstrong and the dukes of dixieland?- yep, out of print. classical music- forgetaboutit- way too much that was never re-issued.
