Number of records you have

I own about 20x as many CDs as LPs, and I sold the vast majority of LPs 20
years ago. I may own 30x as many CDs...frankly I've never bothered to tally
them up.

During most of the years when I would have been accumulating LPs, I was
*playing* music rather than listening to recordings. The idea that the number of
recordings (regardless of format) in one's possession is a gauge of one's love of
music is nonsense.

I think these types of threads are simply opportunities to parade some
metaphorical plumage.

..... too many to listen to all in my lifetime.

1500 in a year and a half

1200 LPs and 300 CDs.

I'm still trying to figure that out. They are all scattered around in a couple of homes, maybe 2500 LP's in all, maybe more. That's in addition to about 1,000 CD's ripped to my music server.

Content: Maybe 300 or so LP's are folkie stuff from my formative years, the remainder are all classical music, mostly symphonic, concertos, sonatas, i.e. instrumental, some early music, some choral, and practically zero opera. The CD's are predominantly blues, female vocalists, alternative adult/rock (whatever), none of which has been released on vinyl. Only about 400 of the CD's are classical.
