Come on...music is music. Sure, the advent of transferable digital music made piracy easier on some but it is by no means new. I remember when people screamed about casette tape piracy. Most of those people had to pay for their music too...the difference was where the money went. Now they simply bemoan the lack of money all together. I wonder what the old Italian opera composers though of the way the gondoliers used to flock to their operas to learn new tunes to sing as they pushed their boats through the canals. "How dare he sing the song I wrote!?" or "Free publicity!"

^ Of course piracy is not new. I'm just saying... I think real collections of old records and CDs on a shelf is more of an achievement than files and files of downloaded music. Of course I download music, and I'm not anti-downloading.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a thing for CD/ DVD/ record collections |

I'm pretty netural to the issue. I buy a lot of music and download a lot. I'm not sure why either one counts as an "achievement."

I like having a physical product, but for listening to music, CDs are not very good I think. I rip them and listen to them on the computer.
It bothers me that the music industry that deals in media etc. has been doing a ****ty job at staying on top of technology. I think CDs are nice to collect but utlimately impractical. They cost more money to make, you need people working with that. Then it costs money to transport them around .. at last, you need people to sell them in stores somehow. These things are not a problem if you sell music on MP3s or other file-formats. Making copies is free and distribution more or less takes care of itself once you have a working system up. They should've been selling music files many, many years ago after they first appeared, I think. And they should sell them in such a way that it's easier (takes less effort) for you to get them legally than it does to pirate them. edit : I think this poll underestimates the sizes of some people's music collection. Also, as has been mentioned, it may be more useful to look at the total amount of songs or total playtime rather than filesize.

Looks like I'll be getting Pianokeys to rip the remainder of my 4413 CDs, then I'll get my classical collection out afterwards to be sorted. Pain in the ass is what it is, is what it is! :p
That's what I wa saying. In my second post you can clearly see the difference in memory size between FLAC and MP3 of the music I have managed to digitise so far.

I have approx 800 c.d's, 60 cassettes and the other 1200+ are downloaded. I do have approx 1,000 dvd's of which about 60 are copies, the rest are originals.

I agree. I have about 40 gigs downloaded, but having cd's is a lot cooler. In twenty years when I'm reminiscing about all the bands I used to love, or showing my kids what music I listened to, it'll be a lot cooler to have the cd opposed to a file on a computer.

If you only have the records of certain bands, there's no problem just downloading the digital files, since you already own the records. DVDs are a whole different dilemma : P

Im not really sure. I would say about 300ish CD's and maybe 50 or 60 albums on vinyl. Maybe about 100-110gb as well. Once i start getting a regular income again i'll start buying more again. I can't wait to go shopping for records and CD's again as i havent bought many physical copies in the last couple of years now. Maybe 20-30 at most.
