Yeah guys. How much music do you own? I don't care about mp3s, they don't count, but how much (original, uncopied) CDs/records/tapes/minidiscs do you have in your possession? For the record, I have: a bit over 400 CDs about 50 records 5 tapes I think and 1 glorious minidisc, courtesy of Gescom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
230 cds 50 tapes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
307 Cds. Not including bootlegged TAPES. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My collection size is just about identical to your's Big Nev except for the minidic. I've often considered buying it but I don't have a player : ( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
About 400 CDs, but now I only use MP3s. SHITLOADS of MP3s, and my burned CD collection is about 30, and will grow. I'll never buy another actual CD again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, and lots of mixed tapes for the car! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
TrevorGod, I only actually bought my minidisc player for that Gescom minidisc. I keep promising myself I'll use it for something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I buy more CD's now that I can easily hear rare'r bands because of mp3 file sharing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its too hard to count |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought about doing that too. But buing a minidisc player just for one disc seemed a little too ovrboard for me. If I could somehow find another excuse to buy a player I'd be on the gescom disc like a fat kid on a smartie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
2000 cds... 150 mcs... 140 lps... er, 1 leopard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My minidisc player will come in useful one day, I'm sure. I've made a couple of nice minidiscs in the last year. To be honest, I just wanted my hifi to be "complete". With all the units. Such a simple thing, but I feel so proud. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A friend of mine uses his minidisc player(s) for everything. He has one in his car and 2 for his home. Maybe I should buy one off him and then get the gescom minidisc.... hmmm he's coming over in an hour, I'll have to discuss it with him then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, 133 cds... a pretty low total it seems... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I've been pretty much spending my entire cheques on cds, so it'll be growing faster... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Gyargh... you could buy a yacht with all the money you save with a CD burner... be an evil music pirate, like me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah man, it's not the same... I just gotta have the art work, and everything... the total package... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You see, it might cost a damn fortune, but that's the advantage of having a fair amount of CDs. Because you end up having an entire wall of music, and you wake up every morning and look at it and it feels damn good. I'm sure I could have saved many hundreds/thousands if I'd stocked up just with mp3s, but it wouldn't be the same. Hell, I want to own something worth stealing. |

*sails away in my ''Yacht made of Gold'', all because I have a CD burner |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see what you mean about the CDs, I'm proud of my fairly decent collection... lots of Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, good stuff... but it just doesn't seem to matter to me anymore, I'd gladly trade them in for my money back, and just burn them again. Different strokes for different folks, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, uhhh, well I'd rather have my fancy art work then a yacht made of gold... so there... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My CD collection is my retirement plan. When I get old enough that I don't like good music anymore I'll sell all my CD's and buy a solid gold yacht (complete with the solid gold dancers) and sail off into the sunset : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jesus, I've got over 8000 dollars worth of CDs!!! Curse them!!!! All that worthless artwork ain't worth 8000 dollars! I'm going to hang myself! |
||||||||

I have a theory though, that buying cds, especially if you have a limited supply of money, makes for a better music listening experience... for instance, back when I was in high school, I got 10 bucks a week for allowance, and I'd save it up to buy cds... so, I would look forward to when I had enough, and would go over and buy the cd... it was great... and the anticipation made the first listen so excellent... also, because of the limited funds, I have more time to listen to that one cd, and take it in... nowadays I might buy two or three at a time, and you want to listen to each of them, so you don't give each specific one as much time as you'd like... with MP3's especially, you can just download the albums, and you don't even have to wait for the real release date, you can download it way before hand... there's no anticipation, no excitement, well not as much... just think of what Christmas would be like without the anticipation... that's all the fun of it... anyways so yeah, buying cds, especially with limitied funds, makes for a better listening experience... hmmm, let me put this into real economics terms: The higher the opportunity cost, the higher the quality of the listening experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now I just need to write my thesis and I'll be set!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course, one day just one single CD/DVD/something will be able to hold every piece of music ever made and the only reason we'll ever buy albums is for the fancy artwork. So they'd better start making the artwork good because there's no way I'm paying another £15 for a flimsy sheet of paper with a crappy picture on it. |
||||||||

|
|
man,thats a lot in comparison to mine id say about 350 regular cds another 150 burnt and about 50 tapes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gosh makes me feel postively inadequate |
||||||||
|

Well, I'm 23 and I've been buying music for about 5 years, so with 400 CDs that's 80 CDs per year. I'm about 50/50 with albums and singles so it comes down to less than an album and a single bought per week, on average. Just wait till I get a proper job and money though. If I don't drink myself to death I'm going to have roomfuls of CDs. |

Of COURSE there's anticipation, I couldn't WAIT for Geogaddi to be available in MP3 form! Listening to it after I downloaded it was no less exciting than when I came home with Wish You Were Here for the first time. It was brand new music! I see what you're saying, Funky, I agree with you, actually... well said, it's 110% true. But Ophecks has been tempted by the dark side, and has no need for your petty ''waiting games''... }:-) I PERSONALLY haven't seen any decline in musical enjoyment. On the contrary, I'm in musical ecstacy! Handing over 20 bucks to the dirty, zit faced cashier at MusicWorld is a thing of the past for me. Music is more exciting than ever for me now, cuz there's so much I can get, without shelling out hard earned cash. Maybe the ''album anticipation'' you speak of is something I miss, but it's a MORE than fair trade off. I never could have afforded the PS2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 if I actually BOUGHT the Analogue Bubblebaths rather than BURNED them. Anyway, your theory is great, well said, and so true. But Ophecks has a different agenda... and I have to say, I like screwing the record companies over. ;-) |

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

well, didn't count but it think i have approx. 800 cds, 200 vinyls, 20 GB of mp3 stuff.... the biggest problem is that my brother has lots of my cds and my girlfriend as well. and as they live in germany, it's difficult to keep an eye on it ;) .a |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i own about 250 electronic cd's (just the best of course), about 10 tapes, 50 vinyls, 2 minidisc's and about 1400 tracks on my harddrive..well, doesn't count :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why shouldn't tracks on harddrives not count? .a |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mp3's might not count in this little informal pole because there is no "real" investment in them. Anybody can have a harddrive full of mp3's after a weekend. Just a thought. Don't ask me what I ment by the term "Real investment" becuase I don't know. |
||||||||

|
I got not enough music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
250+ CD albums, 8 pre-recorded MDsZ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mp3's do NOT count.....This poll should be for "purchased" music only.... (not that there is anything wrong with mp3's)...I actually have over 800 on my hard drive.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much music would you say you buy per week? i average around 1 per week although this week i've got 7 in a mad moment of mail order shopping...¿ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since I started working back in april, I've been buying at least one every pay cheque... so that's one every two weeks... now it's become two or three... and I'm getting paid less because I work much less... heh, I spend all my money on cds... but I guess it's better then wasting it on, as someone else put it, cigarettes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I usually do not "buy" cd's..... I would say I DO download a "new" album each week...atleast |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I probably buy between 2 and 5 CDs every week. I'm a junkie. |
