What is approx. percentage of your total


record collection do you actually listen to? I am particularly interested in those with collections numbering in the thousands.

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!!!
Audiofeil, that's humorous. It's like saying "I've got a drawer full of silverware, but I use always use the same fork."
I kind of get into rotations of groups of LP's and those are on a separate shelf. I would say that my "rotations" are usually 50 or so at a time.
Maybe over the course of the year, I actually listen to about 1,000 or so different records.
I have about 2500 CDs or digital files and I probably do most of my listening to only about 20% on a regular basis, but its nice to have the variety when you want that other weird 5%
