How big is your cd collection?

About 1/2 as many as I have LPs.

Last year I sold most of my LPs, keeping about 50 primarily for the covers and high value of the LP.

I have about 1,200 cds. 800 are in two Sony cd changers that are linked and so all 800 can run all on random/no delay for parties. Not an ipod but it works for me. I have 200 in a changer in my fitness room and play them during workouts. Another 200 are in a cd changer in my guitar studio, where I learn songs and play along. I keep about 20 in my 4Runner.

As others have said I like to hit Tower Records every Tuesday, when the new cds hit the market added one or two to my collection every week. Vast collections are often overwhelming to the point where you seldom listen to some cds for months at a time. But when you get the urge to listen to that Miles Davis cd you bought back in 1992, which has been gathering dust for a year or two, you have it and can instantly enjoy it again as if its brand new.

about 150 - 170, started buying about 6 years ago... thats when I got my first cd-player, yes, late adopter... was more interested in video games before that.

Never really thought about it but a quick count puts me around 400 CD's still have about 30LP's left and I'm down to about 200 albums on cassette which are slowly developing problems. I guess by some measures here I am not a true "audiophile" but then I own Bose speakers so my membership in that club has already been stripped....

I started when I was about 15 years old. First there was vinyl, then cassettes to tape the vinyle to prevent the vinyle wearing out, then CDs and music VCRs, and finally DVDs. There's shelves and cupboards full of the stuff - I really should transfer the old analogue stuff onto CDRs and DVDRs. I never throw anything away. As other posters mentioned, its not how often we play some stuff, but the fact that it is there when the mood strikes us. Sometimes I haven't thought of a piece for years, than suddenly, in the middle of the night, it gets into my head and I just have to dig it out and listen to it. And boy am I upset if I can't find it!
