How many CDs do you own? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Around 400 CD's

I don't know, too many though. Looking at my iTunes I'm somewhere in the mid-600s. I have a few more that I ripped to another folder and then some more that I haven't ripped. So 700 something. I'm trying to get rid of a bunch. My tastes have changed a lot since I really started buying CDs.

iTunes says I have 279 albums, but that's not entirely accurate because in relatively small classical collection a CD can be catalogued as two albums (i.e. Violin Concerto by Beethoven and Mendelssohn) and multiple CDs can be catalogued as one large album (i.e. Beethoven's Symphonies), and I also still have a couple of single tracks from eMusic free downloads or other single track samples downloaded from somewhere. eMusic has allowed me to get a lot more albums, although I don't even have time to listen to most of them.

That is extremely unethical. You might as well just pirate if if you're going to do that.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

Stuck in 375 - 400, have not count them recently

Hi,

I think around 1K ... and no they are not catalogue'd ... and I still have over 1500 LP's ... I'm hoping to slim that down by another 100 or 200 this coming year in exchange for the CD's.

Problem is that I have way too many LP's that are not on CD yet, and they probably never will ... and that's sad ... there's a lot of great music ... that will be left behind and already has been left behind.

But there is a difference ... I don't "collect" numbers ... I only keep and have the stuff I love ...

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I have just over 2 sh!tloads of CDs. That's American sh!tloads, not the smaller, metric sh!tload.

And I paid dearly for that when I moved last march.

Wouldn't that be the sh!teload?

According to my RateYourMusic catalog, I have1,233 albums in CD form.

I don't keep CDs anymore. I buy music and if its on CD I sell it back somewhere as soon as I've ripped it. My music library has 51,632 songs (tracks) in it, so averaging that out at about 11-13 tracks per release I'd probably have somewhere in the area of 4,500 give or take a few dozen.

What does everybody think about the future of CDs? As more and more people will go over to mp3 will CD-collections become a rarity? Will used CDs become cheap and new ones more expensive (if they are made at all)?

CD will become a rarity like LP today but it may take more time. But personnaly i prefer keep MP3 on CD-R. So the future of CD is the CD-R???
