only 126. i started in 1996 and my first cd was batman forever the original score album. i would by only the current stuff of what was popular for the time but now i have been going back to the good old days of the 70s with artists like boc, pink floyd, zeppelin, black sabboth, and more.

edclem 06-15-02 05:10 PM

about 650 here.
occasionally, i'll go through and get rid of things i haven't listened to in over a year.

I giggle looking at the answers here. When I was 25, I had about 2000 CDs. But then space, time and money became factors. I have narrowed it down to 200, and I feel naked.
How did you narrow down to only 200? I plan on weeding out a few hundred CD's (out of 2,000), but no way on earth could I or want to weed down to that many. Did you make a few bucks selling your discs? Just curious.

I estimate I own around 650 because that's about how many fit in my cd cabinet, although there is a bit of overflow lately.

I'm getting more selective about the music I'm buying these days. The last thing I bought was the new Bowie CD. Before that, it was Remy Zero when their last album came out. So I don't buy CDs that often.

Goat3001 06-16-02 01:57 PM

around 100

jim_mailman1962 06-16-02 03:34 PM

Around 100 or so. Just sold off like 8 of them to a local used cd place for $30.

bears35 06-16-02 10:15 PM

I have 56; all CDRs. I used to have about 200 real cds. But I got a CD burner and burned the songs the way I wanted them. Its alot easier for me to organize my collection. Sold all my originals on Ebay.

I used to have about 25 Faith No More CDs (including imports) and after burning the songs I liked onto CDRs I now have 4 FNM CDs. Its so much better that way.

Aghama 06-16-02 10:22 PM

384 as of today. I'm rejoining BMG after a 6 year hiatus, so between that and another few new releases I'll be breaking 400 in a couple weeks.

Seeker 06-16-02 10:29 PM

A shade over 1000

The Bus 06-17-02 06:10 AM

About 200 legit CDs (every Radiohead and Coldplay CDS), and another 2000 albums on MP3.

Wormwood 08-17-02 08:40 AM

318 as of today. Wow, at the rate I'm going my cd collection will be doubled from just a year ago!

Da Thrilla 08-17-02 12:18 PM

about 55 :lol:

Smidget 08-18-02 03:38 PM

3...... no really I'm serious, VAST - VAST and Music for the People and Marcy Playground - Marcy Playground, I'm a youngin' and I have about 1000 albums in mp3 form on my computer......

edclem 08-19-02 11:13 AM

the last time I posted: 550...now: about 10 months later, 625.
No wonder I'm always broke ;)

Mordred 08-21-02 01:21 PM

I'm probably right at 400 CDs, but i've got 1400+ Full Albums on mp3 which I listen to at work.

I'm getting a lot more CDs than I used to now that I'm reviewing them. Saves me a lot of cash :)

You may be receiving a knock on your door from the friendly folks at the RIAA...

shizawn 08-22-02 05:44 PM

Probably around 150. I rarely buy music anymore. I don't listen to the radio, so I don't really know what's new. The only CDs I buy now seem to be drum and bass mixes.

My mp3 collection has ground to a halt as well. I haven't downloaded much of anything in the last 2+ years.

costanza187 08-24-02 11:20 AM

Real CD's I would say about 50...CDRs...more than I can count, or even find.

I havent bought a CD in like 2 years...last one was Christina Aguilera of all things...and it was used off Ebay.

added note: Please don't make fun of me!

B5Erik 08-24-02 02:14 PM

I've got about 750 right now - give or take 25 (I haven't counted lately).

Geofferson 08-24-02 05:15 PM

Probably around 25.

mariakitty 08-25-02 11:33 PM

Over 400 CD's in the collection, mostly British artists. Though we love music, my hubby and I have only purchased 3 CD's this year to make way for our expanding DVD collection. 100 DVD's and counting. :)

The Antipodean 08-27-02 12:12 PM

In the 500 or so area... If I had kept EVERY CD I've owned, though, I guess it might be near 1,000 -- which is a lot of CDs to move, so I pretty regularly cull out stuff on Ebay, etc. If only I could keep from buying NEW ones!

Wormwood 10-30-02 06:16 PM

Now I have 366. That's almost 200 in just this past year!

Jazzbutcher 10-31-02 08:22 AM

Around 800, with another 3500 mp3's on my PC

mdc3000 10-31-02 08:38 AM

i have about 550 cds... i've sold a bunch over the last while... but that's a pretty accurate number right now i think...

Precious 10-31-02 09:05 AM

I have over 300 CD's and about the same DVD's but I've had to slow down my buys as I've put myself on a budget. As for collections, I have a friend who work for a music company and he has 30,000 + in one of his bedrooms. Well it was a bedroom once. Anytime I want to listen to something I haven't got he's a pretty good souce to try. He also has his own mixing setup which means he can do some great party disc.

josuff247 10-31-02 11:15 AM

I have a little over 400. Been collecting for about 10 years.
Used to have more but I sold about 50.

jssheppa 10-31-02 03:45 PM

+/- 800

But what's scary are these numbers:

King Crimson CDs: 40 :eek:
Genesis: 23
Marillion: 29
Phish: 24 (those live releases will get 'ya!)

Sick, sick, sick :)

Ginwen 10-31-02 10:02 PM

250.

Plus about the same number of LPs.

daltonisbond 11-01-02 02:18 PM

I have around 650 albums - equating to around 850 discs due to the large number of box sets / double or triple CD's I seem to collect. It has gotten quite silly the number I buy a month since I got a proper job (i.e. not part time at Pizza Hut!).

I don't have any albums copied from MP3 or my friends. Although not as important as the music, I enjoy having the actual CD with booklet and artowrk on the disc etc etc. CDR's just aren't the same.

remjim 11-01-02 03:15 PM

I have about 700 CDs. I've slowed down lately although thanks to people on this board and a slew of emerging artists I think I may start my habit again soon.

Is it me or has the last couple of years in music been really bad? I think that now things are finally beginning to become interesting again. For me my interest was renewed with The Strokes, the new Pulp album, and Aphex Twin's DruQs.

Maybe I'm just getting old and not seeking out music the way I used to although this board has been a great outlet to be exposed to new artists.

Might really scare ya, but the Depeche Mode section of my collection alone has 135 cds and right around 90 records. :)
