What is approx. percentage of your total

About 6000 albums about 100 or so in heavy rotation, about 3000 CD's about 100 or so in play here too.

This rings true to almost any of my clients too - however have one couple husband and wife mid 60s that have about 5000 albums or so 99% opera, and listens to them in order, they are sorted out by label, 2 to 3 albums every night.

Their system is very similar to mine.

As always, Good listening

I buy about 5-10 new records a month, some reissues, some remastered, mostly from Classic.
I also buy about 10 used records a month. My record collection is probably around 8000 or so. I try to pull 2 a week from my older existing pile. I pull them out, clean them and put them in the clean pile.

I have about 2,000 cleaned and ready to play and maybe a few hundred to clean. Any collection mostly sits on a shelf. Even if I haven't played a particular one in years, it's nice to know there's a nice copy ready when I want it. I also have a hard time not buying different pressings of the same title if it's one I like. A backup pressing or two of favorites is also nice. More and more I'm trying to thin the collection out to no more than two or three good pressings of any given title and most titles only one.

I own about 6,000 LPs.
2,000 Rock, 2,000 Jazz, 2,000 Classical.
I listen mostly to CDs.
Then Jazz LPs, then some Rock LPs.
My Classical mostly just sit there. My first love was Classical, but i am into Jazz much more now.
Then i will listen to a few Rock LPs.
And plenty of Jazz LPs.
I buy used LPs, way more than i can listen to.
Though I have started to try ti listen to what I buy.. lately.
I have actually listened to about half of my LPs. the rest i have never listened to, ever.
Some few get played more.
No big deal. It is a collection. So when I want something I have it. Period.
The only issue is space. Thus my limiting myself to only owning what fits into the current shelving. And how i have such a nice even number of each Rock Jazz and Classical
I am always buying more LPs.. so I have to toss some out every few months. Upgrading.. And YES i have tossed LPs I never listened to. LOL!!!

I have about 75,000 albums and listen to 15.
