Physical music ownership poll

Share and discuss music, artists, and the audiophile culture.

I don't have them with me to count but I have about sixty (all CDs except for In Rainbows on vinyl), so not exactly a huge collection.

10-25, I think, and all gifts. The family music collection is huge, a large part of it vinyl, but I don't own much myself.

I'm really bad with buying physical copies. I can never wait to get out to the shops to get CDs... and so I end up just getting mp3s. I have about 10 CDs and 10 vinyl singles.

I'll usually ahem at first, and then I'll buy the physical copy of the albums that I really, really love. So all in all, maybe about ten albums?

I have the albums of the bands I want to support.
Somewhere around 10? And lots more in the family. But I didn't count them as mine, since I didn't want to buy it myself.

i try to buy discs of all my music, but sometimes it just isnt possible at my local stores so i end up iTunes-ing it. i have about 50 or so CDs, but the family collection is a whole lot more than that

Can the real Dave Simpson please stand up? Sit down, Grant.

3262 CD's and 617 vinyl at the last count. Plus some tapes (yeah, oldschool). I know this because I recently re-organised them into alphabetical order. Yes. 6 hours it took me.

I've only ever bought three of four CDs, I think.

Don't listen to them that much... if I do it's on my computer, anyway.

Parents have a ton of CDs, though.

About 30 or so, maybe more. Some of them are from the bands I like and want to support, but a lot of them are random CD's I find at garage sales and boutique stores. If a CD is a couple of bucks, I'm probably gonna buy it.

I buy music whenever i get enough money basically. that or see movies with my other movie going mate.

and i'm trying to save up for a skateboard ;_; haha

but yeah, i buy music often. it started off at about once every 2 weeks and then as died down a bit as i've been seeing more movies, so now it's like once a month. though sometimes i buy like 4 at once. so. heh. yeah.

i'm currently really wanting:

lightspeed champions album
stars newest
madvillain (madvillainy)
hilltop hood 'the hard road'

and a lot of others but those are my major ones at the moment. in that order too.

I always like to buy a hard copy, so I only go to Itunes as a last resort or if I don't want a whole album.

I think I probably have thirtysomething- I buy only a few CDs a year, and I listen to them all at once. Kinda like adding another stick of gum to your mouth when it loses its flavor.

I have around thirty or so CDs, but that's a mere guess. I've never bothered to count. However, we've got hundreds of cassettes from the 90's though. Love that era!

My parents have two large big-screen-TV-sized boxes full of audio cassettes of Indian music. Somewhere in the thousands, I'd say.

For me, twelve albums. RHCP, Incubus, Coldplay, The Killers, Audioslave
