Your Music Collection

How many cds do you have vs. number of digital albums?
For me,roughly 400cds/600 downloaded albums

Re: Your Music Collection

About 230 cd's / 40 digital albums

Very little downloaded music though.

Re: Your Music Collection

Slightly more than 300 CDs
And more than 1100 hours of music on my computer, 99% being full albums or compilations

Re: Your Music Collection

It's tough to say because I've backed up my CDs into my digital collection. RYM says I have 354 CDs and 630 LPs but it's more than that because of classical records that aren't on RYM. That still doesn't even come close to a couple AM'ers.

Re: Your Music Collection

I've only recently begun building a physical music collection, so I'm only up to about 50. On my computer though, I'm well over 2000.

Re: Your Music Collection

Back in the 90's / early 00's I was all over CD's, my wall holder is full at 944 and I have a couple of bins loaded with a few hundred more. Just within the past year have I started purchasing CD's again.

I also started purchasing vinyl a few years back and have about 100 albums, most of which I was able to snag for under $6.00. I would love to buy new releases, but I cannot justify the costs in most cases.

From 2005-2009 I downloaded a ton of albums, compilations, greatest hits torrents both legally and the other thing. Not sure just how many I have, but a friend of mine transferrred all my digital music to his hard drive and it was over 22,000 songs...

Re: Your Music Collection

I normally think in terms of number of songs now so I'd just be estimating really but around 1300 cds,and about 800 downloaded albums. I rarely buy new albums,too expensive. The stuff I download now is mainly either multi-disc box sets that are too expensive,new albums or out of print/rare albums.

Re: Your Music Collection

Probably about 30 CDs and 500 digital albums, only about 20% of the latter actually purchased. Collecting music is going to be so much more satisfying when I have an income.

Re: Your Music Collection

London Calling - found in a supermarket - and 1737 digital albums.

Re: Your Music Collection

800 physical, 10 digital

Mostly ones that are absurdly expensive physically.

I prefer physical for two main reasons.

1) There is not yet a service where, if my music files get erased, I can re-download for free anything I've already paid for.

2) Going to the record store is fun.

I believe Amazon's new Cloud service offers a similar feature.

Re: Your Music Collection

Amazon isn't free for that many albums. Doesn't iTunes allow you to redownload songs you've already purchased? I know they allow that for apps.

The reason I don't buy digital downloads is because you either don't get lossless or have to pay a premium to buy a lossless album. In most cases it costs more to buy a lossless album than buying the actual CD. Screw that.
