How is your many titles in your digital collection

I can understand your point, this is the only real world information I have access to in relation to hi-rez sales(through the consumer). It seems, with the numbers we've seen so far, that my suspicions have something to back them up- fwiw.

As I eluded to earlier I have no "plans" with this information, but if I can "prove" to myself that its BS then I would be happy.

1500 CDs, 2 SACDs(bought for CD layer), nothing else. Here in UK there are still many good classical concerts on FM to supplement your disc-listening! "Do you listen to them all?" is a misconceived question, because I listened to them as I bought them, and return to various areas of repertoire (baroque, avant-garde, pre-war English, Copland & Bernstein etc. etc.) as my desires dictate. A live concert may inspire exploration of a composer etc. I too feel pretty sceptical about buying things twice over. I love the Mercury classical CD transfers and have many of them, but buying them again on SACD? "Never as good as the first time"! Its a shame that in order to hear the 3-channel originals, you need all the domestic detritus of a multichannel installation...

The ratio of Redbook to SACD/DVD-A in my collection is greater than 300:1.

That should give you an idea of the relationship of redbook vs. hi-rez purchases.

I should add that where possible, and sensible (translate...low $$$), I buy hybrid CD/SACD disks, but these are still rare. I own Diana Krall's latest disk and find myself listening to the SACD layer more often than the redbook layer.

A little over 5k w/ 20 or so sacds, but most people would say they all suck and lots of goners can probably piss futher.

I have no idea how so many of you can have multiple thousands of CD's... I figured out the other day that if I purchase about another 45 albums I'll own almost every underground hip-hop album worth the CD it was stamped on, and I hit my wits end with my punk collection about 4 years ago... but anyway, the breakdown for me goes like this... I just got done cataloging everything a few days ago so these numbers are precise:

242 Redbook CD's
0 SACD's
0 DVD-A
53 DVD-V (not sure what this has to do with audio)
6 AAC's (from the iTunes Music Store)
19 LP's/EP's

I don't own an SACD player, my DVD player can handle DVD-A, but none of the music I like is ever released in either of these formats.

I also don't have a turntable for the vinyl, but they're all underground side-project works that are rare or near impossible to find so I snap them up whenever I get a chance... I'd love to actually listen to them sometime :)
