I have a dedicated HT room and 2-channel stereo room, but my "active" music collection (not including boxed up LP's, discarded casettes, and a few boxes of CD's I haven't pawned yet) is at least 3 to 1 the size of all my DVD's. Sure I've been collecting music longer, but I think I have more time to sit, and listen to music.

It's easier to sit and listen to even 20 minutes of music than to sit and try to engage in 20 minutes of a movie. You pretty much need 90 minutes or 2 hours or so...I bet if you add up all the short music listening sessions I engage in, it adds up to a substantial percentage of all my music listening time.

So I get more use out of music. This justifies owning more music than video.

Coincidentally enough, I'm more likely to listen to an album far many more times than I will watch a movie, as well.

How many times have you listened to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon? How many times have you watched Jaws? I'd be shocked if the ratio wasn't at least 20:1 for me, and I watch Jaws at least once a year.
