about how many albums do you own?

[3-LockBox]

Holy crap! I think I have about 350 CDs. (period) Yikes, I'm a rank ameteur. Of course, I'm only counting the titles I've actually purchased. If I counted the ones I've received via CD-R, then number goes up substantially, but still, no where near your neighborhood.

How's tricks 'D'? I miss your input. I still listen to your comps (really).

Do you have the new Porcupine Tree?

Last I looked it was somewhere around 1500, and the percentages probably aren't that far off from the way Darren broke down his numbers. But prog & new age doesn't figure all that much into my collection.

In the past year, though, I've accumulated a lot, only some of which I've manage to make note of. And I have an awful lot of albums in MP3 form only. If you add it all up it's got to be somewhere around 2000. I feel like it's become a bit unwieldy, especially because I think I've come into several hundred in the past year alone, probably close to 300 in the past 3 years or so. And in there's a bunch of stuff I haven't even listened to (making it ludicrous to add to the tally) to go along with a bunch of stuff I haven't listened to more than once. Seems a bit silly to consider them part of my collection, but there they are. And there are quite a few that I'll hang onto the MP3s of merely for reference. When you're getting into discussions that border on arguments about different genres of music, it's helpful & instructive to actually be able to listen to something you wouldn't exactly place in heavy rotation to add perspective. And every once in awhile something I'd think I'm keeping only for that reason ends up being something I actually like to some degree, such as the Ashlee Simpson album. Then again, I expected to like the Mars Volta more than I did. But that one certainly deserves another listen.

Then there's the comps I've gotten from people on this board. Hey Finch, I actually got to listen to one of the ones you sent last week! More to follow on that...

When you go to someone's place & they've literally got tens of thousands of albums, it makes one feel a bit better, though...until you start wanting to have a collection that extensive...at which point you want to just leave. See ya.
