Your Collection is...

[scampr]

Something RandalG said in another thread got me thinking.

If you consider yourself to have a music collection (self-defined); do you have and when did you switch:

78s I thought so but don't know where they are
45s 100 or so
LPs 200 +/-
Cassettes 2000+/- switched to mostly cassette in 1978 but still bought a few LPs up til even 1987. unfortunately almost all my tapes were stolen in 1986
8-tracks 0 had some but all gone
Reel to Reel 0 had a player, sold it
CD 10,000+ switched in 1986
Mini disc, DAT, DigiCart or other early digital storage 10 actually have a few around, never bought players though.
DVD 0 only ones I have are concert dvds never have purchased a strictly audio one
Digital 600GB but I only have a few hundred albums that are hard drive only.

Until I found RDCs David Bowie collection on here a few months ago I hadn't ever downloaded an album that I didn't already own (but was in storage). Now I'm looking for stuff I know I'd never buy (like the entire Bowie catalog) or stuff that will never be in print again. I will grab a new album when it comes out but make a note to go buy it.

not even close, i don't have like any rap, hip-hop, electronica/techno/dance, trying to find a lot of old country. . . i have a lot of rock and alternative- mainly alternative. I used to work as one of three managers at a Sam Goody before they went bankrupt, and before that I planned on getting a degree in radio broadcasting but the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, so i was just collecting all this music. . . . i'm a music whore.

[idahotransplant]

76,214 songs
356 gig

I've never even listened to most of the songs I have, but I'll never delete anything because you never know who else would want it.

[rockdude82]

40,000+ mp3's, and thats mainly rock, pop and jazz. I listen to maybe 7000 of them. I like to have it around, in case someone wants something or I get a request for a song I should do live.
I have about 250 CD's and maybe 30 LP's, mostly rarities or collectors items, but no player.

Hmmm, interesting question,

I have 2 80 GB hard drives full (Just data drive, not even an OS on them) and I have 25 4.7 DVD's full. And that is just the music stuff. Not including porn.


Although, this kind of brings up an intersting question;

Is there a software program that will search your hard drives for music files and kind of put them in a list. I home wrote a little HTP one, launch the web page and it will scan make things clickable to play, but then it would load the whole directory when I just wanted to do the one song.

Just a thought.

Probably less than 10 45's. Mostly still sealed collectors stuff. I can think of one Pink Floyd Wall promotional thing and a WASP picture disc of "Fuck Like a Beast".

Maybe 1000 lps. None of them have seen the light of day in at least 15 years. Haven't bought a new one in probably 20 years.

Maybe 100 cassettes. Haven't played them in years.

Maybe 75 store bought cd's.

At least 3000 mp3's on my home computers. Probably 1000 non duplicate mp3s on my work computer.

[wildebeast71]

Have about a dozen lps.
about 150 cassettes.
about 325 cd's
and 32417 songs on a 500GB drive, I am still adding about 3-5 CD's a day to my collection.

[danieldamone]

I have about 15000 mp3's, a small collection of cd's...most of them got stolen, probably 30 or 40 tapes, and about 200 records.

[GeminiEye]

60000 mp3's on my comp.

[The Godfather]

Ridiculous!
