How many albums do you own?

DreamingOfAlbion · 03-12-2011, 05:53 PM

I have 14...soon to be 15 in CD form. (I just ordered the new PJ Harvey album.) And 12 digital. So 27 total. I know I have like nothing, but in my defense, I just became obsessed with music in the last year and a half. I tend to get a lot of individual songs though illegal downloading but if I want an album I'll buy the hard copy. Any digital albums I have were ripped from someone else's copy. For the couple extra bucks it costs to get the CD, it's worth it just knowing you won't lose it if your computer crashes.

I have 200 CD form and no idea how many in digital as they're in so many different places.

Just under 4,000.

Around 500 c.d's and the rest is digital but I have owned more physical albums at times but have unfortunately had to sell off both my vinyl and C.D collections over the years for various reasons.

I would love a magic wand to just make all the titles I got rid off appear again so I could be reunited with some rare gems.

Not quite relating to the subject matter but I did part with around 400 dvd's around 2 years back which broke my heart but I still have around 500 atm and would dearly like some of those I sold back. I did keep hold of my rare and OOP ones though and it's a collection that is worth decent pennies. I have a couple of sets that fetch between £70 and £120 and they are going nowhere!

Looks like a bit over 1000 in digital. In physical, I"m not too sure, I have a bunch of cds and records... maybe a bit less than digital? Could be more I'm not sure and they're all back home anyway... There's a fair amount of overlap between the two so total I don't know.

About 1,000 cassettes, 500 CDs and 500 mp3 albums.

FaSho · 03-13-2011, 08:04 AM

About 900. 99% in digital.

Chrysalis · 03-13-2011, 12:53 PM

Around 150.

...with only 2 CDs.

I hope the rest is vinyl, not mp3...
