What is the complete size of your music collection?

[ButterflyBlood]

for me:

115 7"s (small records)
12 10"s
92 LPs (big records)
around 220 CDs

[coloradodem2005]

1. I really don't know.

Sometimes, I think I have at least 500-600 cd's and a mere handful of cassettes. But I am pretty loaded on music. THough, I will probably go out and buy "Deep Purple In Rock" soon.

[JohnKleeb]

2. 20 CDs about

462 MP3s.

[mvd]

3. Around 750 CDs

and 80 tapes - my parents also gave me some old records.

[htuttle]

4. 3 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 49 seconds...

...or so.

[Amerpie]

iTunes?

My database says 20.1 days, 27.95 gigs.

That's kind of decadent now that I look at it...

[Amerpie]

5. 262 out of 500

I have 262 out of the Rolling Stone Top 500 albums of all time.

My iTunes database tells me that I have 7264 songs and 528 albums total. I gave my LPs away a long time ago (to my brother). The only 45s I ever had were in 6th grade Queen - We Will Rock You and KC and the Sunshine Band - Shake, Shake, Shake

[mr_hat]

6. Nothing but CDs. More than 2,000.

[Cuban_Liberal]

7. About 500-600 CDs, around 90-100 LPs and maybe 50 casettes...

:)

[alittlelark]

8. 800 LP's, 600 CD'd, 300 singles 100 or so cassettes

My hubby really likes his music!!!

[DemoTex]

9. 350+ classical vinyl LPs (came with the mountain house!)

Some had never been opened. I am in the slow process of cataloging those LPs now. I am also looking for a cartridge for the Dual 1257 turntable that I bought in the package.

Additionally, I have about 200 classical CDs and 100 some-odd rock, jazz, and "other."

So much music, so little time.

[Elwood P Dowd]

10. Vinyl rules.

600-700 LPs played on a $3,000 vinyl rig.

260 CDs - ok for background music.

MP3s suck!!

[DenverDem]

11. Stupid massive

over 1100 commercial CD's

over 2000 CD's of live music from bands that allow taping and trading

450 Cassettes

750 Cassettes of live music from bands that allow taping and trading.

Over 500 vinyl records from back in the day. I had more, but several hundred were destroyed in a flood in South Texas back in the 70's.

Most of my commercial CD's were bought used or cut out, so I haven't been dropping 18 bucks for each of those. The commercial cassettes were bought retail before CD players were in cars. It's a sickness, I'm a content hoarder.

[stopbush]

12. 8,000-9,000 CDs, almost all classical

but I was in the biz. I doubt if I paid for 5% of them.

All that - and there's probably only 400-500 that I listen to on a regular basis.

[Norbert]

13. A lot

600 33.33 LPs
300 CDs
2000 45s
10 78s
225 mpegs (many Beatle alternate takes and boots. I must whittle this down since a good portion of these became CD buys).

[hyphenate]

14. Whew

I dunno--this is a guess mostly:

About 100 45s
About 200 albums
About 40 cassettes
About 300 CDs (regular)
About 300 or 400 MP3s on numerous CDs

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. I have no idea, hundreds and hundreds

mostly classical and world, with some jazz and pop.

Back when LPs ruled, I had 210 LPs. I have since transferred them all to tape and acquired at least as many CDs.

[Lefty48197]

16. CD's are those little shiny things right?

I have some of them too.

[NightTrain]

17. An approximation.

45 RPMs: 2,000
LPs: 1,500
CDs: 2,000

[oustemnow]

18. a ballpark figure

2000-2200 or so CDs

a couple of hundred vinyl LPs (and growing rapidly on this front)

200-250 cassette tapes

lamentably few singles; I used to have a lot more.

[Mr. McD]

19. About 600 CD's

Mostly classical:)

[aquaman]

20. Okay....

I have:
1,300 cds
300 lps

If I didn't buy cds I would have a hell of a lot more money.

[davekriss]

21. Lots

Over 1,000 LP's and another 1,000 CD's. Jazz, blues, classical, rock'n'roll, punk, alternative, folk. And honorary mention for 2 dozen poetry tapes. First record purchased was 1963 Meet the Beetles (I was 5, my mom helped!). Last CD was Ani DiFranco's Evolve. Though I am not a country fan, I'm thinking of getting Johnny Cash's box set.

Moving is a bear. Between books, LP's, CD's, and tapes I'm up around 100 boxes. And, damn, my wife wants me to take the furniture too!

So, wha', you casing the joint?
