We'd love to hear!

I'm not as analytical about it as you. I'm always amazed how you go about managing your stuff.
I don't even sort by genre, just by the alphabet.
My main foci are free improvisation and avant-prog, but there's enough of most genres there. I mostly enjoy stuff outside of genre boundaries. Lots of obscure japanese stuff. I also have tons of bootlegs.
Favourite labels are probably Tzadik, ReR Megacorp, Cuneiform, P.S.F., Trans Museq, AltrOck, Soleil Zeuhl and others that don't come to mind at the moment.

Not being a dick about the buying music thing. Just curious.
I have at least listened in a bit into everything I have to decide whether I'll keep it. There are also artists whom I love so much, that I know I'll like everything they're associated with, so sometimes I don't bother to.
Of course I haven't listened to every single song, it's great to have a huge pile of music I know is good, but still full of surprises.

I buy quite a lot of music, but since I was a college student until recently, my finances were much worse than my appetite for music.
I decreased downloading in the last year, since it's too time consuming, although I still buy and download dozens of albums every month.
