How big is your music collection?

[IanDork107]

That ends up at over 13,000 mp3s....



Makes me feel like I have a bigger penis

 

[Black Dragon]

600+ CDs and various LPs, mainly picture dics of Iron Maiden.

I don't count mp3s.

 

[inflamer]

about 140 cds ... i dont count the mp3, cant tell how many ... i dont think it will grow mutch from now on ... from those 140 like 1/3 of them i havent heard attentiously yet ... i dont have the time ... from now on im only gonna buy cds that i think are top top top quality ...

 

[RogueSpirit]

I have about 380 CDs (this counts double albums as one CD as well)...probably my most valuable stuff is my Japanese Mint copy of Atheist's Unquestionable Presence and my first issue copy of Anglagard's Hybris.

Also, I have about 80 mp3 CDs, so let's say 10 albums fit on one (which is fairly reasonable - they range from 128-192 KBPS)...that's about 800 albums on mp3. Keep in mind I started collecting mp3s WAY before P2P/Napster though (when you had to mooch/trade for everything on ftps).

 

[Brian T. Ghammet]

I've got about 450 CDs. Some rare stuff I own are three copies of Ulver's Silencing the Singing ep and a copy of Dream Theater's last live album with the original artwork that was immediately taken out because of the terrorist stuff. I've never opened it; I really need to buy another copy so I can listen to it! I've got two copies of Candiria's first impossible to find album, one of them I got the entire band to sign. I sell a lot of the old stuff I listened to when I was a dumb teenager.

 

[rbloemink]

I've got about 200 cd's. Varying from Death to Progressive, Black to Doom and Gothic to OPETH (you can describe this band as a unique style of course)

Rare material: After Forever - Decipher Picture Disc and After Forever - Decipher 180 grams vinyl

 

[Alex78]

about 150 CDs, 4(!) LPs, some 5-10 MP3s.
most prized possession...probably Tool's "The third eye - Live in Paradiso", around 50$

 

[Kaberonie]

whats the diff between LPs and CDs and 7''?

[J.]

About 370 CD's and 1 7" /forum/images/smilies/supergrin.gif

The 7" is the uber-rare In the Woods...- 'Epitaph'

I don't have any mp3's or CDr's. They don't count.

[COnsiderateApathy]

whats the diff between LPs and CDs and 7''? educate me.

CD = compact disc, any type (jewel case, digipak, cardboard sleeve promo - any disc that can be played in a cd player, including mini CDs and shaped CDs)

LP = 'Long Player' or 'Long Playing' record, i.e. 12" vinyl

7" = you guessed it ... 7" vinyl

The number refers to the diameter of the disc. So in that case, I guess you could say CDs could be referred to as 5"s. In fact, sometimes CD singles are called CD5s.

Different vinyl discs spin at different speeds on the turntable, depending on how the record was pressed. This is called the RPM, or rotations per minute. The speed of 7" and 12" vinyl records vary between 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm, and 78 rpm. 33 1/3 is the most widely used on LP, 45 is normally reserved for 7" singles, and 78 is virtually unused nowadays.

Hope that clears a little of the mystery up.

2500 CD's, 200 LP's, 100 odd CDR's of mp3's burned to data cdrom.

 

[AndICried]

Approaching 100 cd's. Sucks.

Still, there are only a few which I seriously regret buying.
