Probably in the region of 1600-1700. Would have surpassed 2000 if not for a depreciated currency vis the $US. About 10% of these are still in their plastic wrap. I probably have too many but the want, no, need list keeps growing. :rsly:

How did he manage to get away with 5000 CDs?

A former neighbor whom I had known for 20 years. I let him stay in my apartment while I was out of town, and he apparently made many trips past my doormen. I didn't know about his problem. BTW he also took about 100 DVDs, but none of my audio or computer equipment.

I haven't counted, but I am reminded of what Senator Gramm of Texas once said about shotguns, that he owned "More than he needed but less than he wanted." Same applies to me with music, although much of my purchasing is in LP form.

How long have we known you? :ph34r:

I have had close to 5000 CD stolen from me by a crack addict, including some of my favorite boxed sets. So I am down to 5 or 6000, but--except for the odd one that somehow escaped their fingers--all my Bird, Trane, Duke, Louis, Billie, Sarah, Basie, Jelly Roll, Waller discs are gone.

Sorry to read this, Chris! This must have been a terrible blow for a music lover like you.

:(

ditto.

Sorry about losing much of your collection.

Life goes on...

Just under 2,000 jazz CDs (over 2,000 if you count each CD of a 2, 3 or 4 CD issue), 65 CD boxed sets, and over 5,000 jazz LPs. I'm trying to figure out a way to take it all with me when I'm gone.

:rolleyes:

No insurance, Wolff.

Yes, Connoisseur, life does indeed go on.

I had around 3200 CDs when I last was able to look at them and estimate (about 2 years ago). Now, about 99% of them are in storage, and I have about 40 CDs to listen to (except for my mp3 player which is loaded up).

It's weird, not having my collection around has helped me slow down my purchases.

Actually...

Not having a job has done a LOT more to slow down my purchases. Oof!

:wacko: :rsly:

This is funny because I've never actually kept count, but having spent the last month filling my iPod up (that is going to hold about 450 albums), I've realised that I must have well over in jazz releases.

The iPod is currently about 80% jazz, which is probably similar to my collection in general. I haven't even thought about which Stax and Motown I'm going to put on :o
