I think that, no - I know that - the number of music CD's in your collection.........

[Sparky Kronkite]

indicates your musical enthusiasm and your musical knowledge.

How many music CD's do you own?

Me? Lost count - but about 4000 and still averaging 3 to 6 a month.

 

[lobito]

2500+ been buying them since 1985.

First Cd - Survivor "Vital Signs"

This doesn't include the custom CD's that I've been making for myself.

 

[phrodeau]

My musical enthusiasm and knowledge is superior to yours, because I know exactly how many music CD's I own - 674.

 

[RastaPope]

612 physical cd's, perhaps 2500 sitting on my hard drive.

 

[perks]

maybe 25

 

[lovetoread]

You mean ones that I have bought?

I have 2.

Kid Rock and Susan Tedeschi

 

[roxie]

319 exactly...and I could never name them all, since I don't listen to half of them

About 1700. Still have about 700 vinyls too. Love the jackets.

Susan Tedeschi is awesome for.....

a person with only 2 CD's!!!!!

How the hell did you find out about this wonderful - way underplayed artist?

I mean - I think Kid Rock is a very shrewd man - he has my respect but Susan?

Virtually nobody knows of this young heiress to Bonnie Raits thrown.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

And that would be......

throne!

God I fucking hate spelling.

A lack of CDs in a collection could indicate the fact that some of us are chronically poor.

Ok, we definitely don't have room for those.

'zactly

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

True - a bit.

But I've been poor - quite a few time - and to me, it all depends where your priorities lie.......

When I gave up higher education - I bought an old, oil guzzlin' VW beetle for $100 to make the trip from UGA (Athens GA) to my home (then and now) in DC - it had to hold all my worldly possesions - my one guitar, my meger wardrobe, and my, I guess about a thousand LP's.

Believe me - if you really love music - really love it - it becomes an addiction (as it is to me) - it ruins relationships with those who 'don't understand' as it has with me - you get in trouble because you sneak away 'food money' and buy music or guitars, as I have. In effect - you are a musician - as I am.

Money does not matter - music matters. If yer lucky enough to turn your passion into a profesion (as I kinda have) then all the better. More money - more music.

That is all.

 

[riff]

Should I include the ones that I lost or got stolen? I got a couple of hundred. I love music- just like what I like.

 

[perks]

you're right. It's just not important to me. Owning music, owning anything, really. It's nice, but not important.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

around 70, I think.. but then my SO and I have over 1000 MP3's.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

'Owning,' has not one thing to do with it.....

Love, passion and knowledge have everything to do with it.

Music CD's - just like books - are knowledge in a sleeve. You can get them many ways - the library - people can give them to you - you can steal them........

I just happen to be passionate enough to divert finances toward and fortunate enough to buy them. Which I do. And have no problem with it.

 

[weathered2]

About 180 in the changer and maybe twice that besides, so maybe like 600 or so. Old vinyl, maybe 100 survived.

 

[AzureAngel]

Well if OWNING has nothing to do with it, I have a good load of MP3s. *Laughs.* Less than, you, Sparky, have CDs... but alas. I don't have an equivalent passion for it.

Any suggestions anyone wants to make?

 

[missy2]

I have a huge one!

I have been collecting music since 1965.I have approximately 11,000 CDs,200,000 Albums,75,000 45's& EP's,8,000 cassettes,400 reel to reels,& last but not least-- 4,000 8tracks! 3 entire rooms(actually 21/2 & a fully equipped studio)
Everything's catalogged & videotaped --extra insurance a MUST!

Well I buy alot of cassettes and one day for no known reason I bought the 2000 grammy nominees one and she was on it.

It was instant love for my ex and so I had to get one. She is great but my kids dont like it. They say that her music is "old peoples" music.

 

[kotori]

Ten

But I don't listen to five of them. I don't want more than I can carry at one time. 'Sides, more than a mouthful is a waste.

 

[candysuttan]

Let's see before computers mabye 200 or 300 hundred
but since napster and bearshare + cd burner I lost count around 2000
