1) I have over 700 store-bought CDs. I occasionally purchase songs via iTunes, but I tend to buy albums much more.
2) Again, I've got over 700 store bought CDs, about 100-or-so burnt CDs from friends, and about 400 live bootlegs/demos that I've downloaded via torrenting, and burning onto CD. 3) I do, but very simply. I just type the albums I purchase into TextEdit, separated into categories (store bought, albums burnt from friends, bootlegs, etc.). My memory is good enough that I know what albums I have, without having to catalogue the UPC numbers and whatnot to prevent repurchasing an album by mistake. |

Plus, lists also contains info on which discs aren't first edition/country of origin pressings, which discs don't have booklets in mint condition or which discs have scuffed or incorrect (not matching country of production) jewel cases or trays, as I occasionally come across slightly better copies. I'll surely never have a collection consisting entirely of perfect copies of each title I want, but it's nice to have a checklist just to see that I'm getting closer. |
Sell, and keep on mp3

Well i have about 500 cds in my collection, but since iTunes opened i have bought maybe a handful of CDs at the most. I got pissed off with buying albums that had maybe one or two songs that were good and the rest were terrible. I listen to an album first before i buy anything and then i just buy the songs i like. Unlike DVDs i just don't think they are value for money anymore and are still overpriced. At least when i buy a DVD i might get a lot of extra material.

I still buy CDs. you can often get new releases for less than what albums cost on iTunes.
I have a little over 1000 CDs. I just use excel to keep track of the CDs. Not that difficult. |
I've lost count of how many CD's I own (and they are everywhere in the house - my partner really really hates that). And I still buy them... I am also purchasing vinyl releases that are becoming commonplace, again. from the UK. I also buy the CD's (and the magazines) that accompany 'music' magazines.

I have a little over 1000 cds at last count.
I still buy them regularly. We (well, mostly I) have a big storage rack that takes up a wall of the office in our basement that I use for my drums. (i.e. the man room). I don't do the download thing, either, for the same sound quality reasons. I've been using just a simple MS Word file to keep the catalog organized, but I'm going to look into the Collectorz software. It sounds interesting. |
I still buy CDs, as long as I want more than 1 or 2 songs. If it's just one or two songs, I grab them from iTunes, although I need to try the Amazon mp3 store.
I have somewhere around 700 CDs, but I haven't looked at the actual count in a long time. They are scattered across at least 3 shelves, and I'm running out of space again. I really need to pick up another spinning rack similar to what I use for DVDs. I tried Collectorz, but I really hated the interface. When I got a MacBook a while ago, I found a collection of software at www.bruji.com that has apps for tracking DVDs, CDs, games, and books. I'm not as good about tracking the CDs as I am about the DVDs, but it's pretty close. Helped that the CD software asked to scan iTunes for the initial import, since almost all my CDs are in iTunes. |
