How big is yours?

[Hardbopjazz]

Just wondering how large member's jazz collections are.

[7/4]

3178 cds

[WD45]

My count varies greatly, as I caught the trading bug early on. I have over 750 now, but have traded/sold at least as many. It's an illness...

[Jazz Kat]

Just cd's?

[BbM7]

10K+, if those slabs of vinyl count.

I think we'll all understand if you don't

know what a record is

Whatever that means, counting my vinyls I probaly got about 200. About 100 cd's and a 100 vinyls, I'm not really sure.

[Jazz Kat]

It's a wonder they know what you're talking about when somebody says, "Why am I keep repeating myself. I sound like a broken record!"

You would think they would of changed it to, 'skipping cd' by now.

[Jazz Kat]

Reminds me of my grandmother.

"You know, Andrea Bocceli has a new record out now."

[jazzbo]

We've done this a few times before!

I chose the last option.

Do you mean individual pieces of plastic and vinyl? Or does a double or box set count as one? And you're excluding any nonjazz? We have to adequately define these terms to ensure this survey is scientific.

Old habits die hard.

Even reviewers who are staring at a shiny 5" disc

call new releases "records" - "a review of ________'s new record"

I use the term "records" all of the time, much to the confusion of those around me.

It makes sense--at least as much sense as "albums" did when describing LPs, not albums of 78s as it used to. I look at it as a record of the artist's work.

My mother-in-law calls them all tapes. CDs, LPs, the whole lot.

It's not the size that matters, but the quality of your collection. It's just so happens that I have a exceptional (and quite LARGE) collection. My wife seems to enjoy it. She brags to her friends all the time. B-)

Then maybe some of her friends also would like to enjoy your collection?

If I count only my jazz CDs, I am currently the low man on the totem pole (251-500).

This can only mean ONE THING!!! I'll get right on it!!

[brownie]

I'm in the midst of reorganizing the CD collection. There should be something like between 3 and 4,000.

And I also have double that amount of vinyl. I should have my head reorganized

[Hardbopjazz]

I ment just jazz CD's and records. But if you included all your collection, so be it.

[Jazz Kat]

I dont have anything except jazz. Maybe a couple rock and roll stuff, but only from when I was real real young before I got into jazz.

[Brad]

I'm around the 2000 range including lps. I'd like to know how someone with 10,000 gets to listen to all they have. I have that problem with what I have. Mind you, I've only been collecting 5-6 years.

This is a jazz forum. I included only jazz albums -_-

[tjobbe]

mhhh right now 800+ Jazz only and some other 200 of different flavour but still growing

Cheers, Tjobbe

[Jazz Kat]

I used to buy a cd a week. Somehow that stopped.

Don't you realize how old Lon and Chuck are?

Makes sense to me - they're all recordings

Funny you should say that. Sometimes my wife throws parties and her and all her girls friends lay around the house and enjoy my ample collection. Of course they all have different tastes. Some like the hard driving stuff. Others like the soft and slow approach. Luckily my collection has something for everybody. But I'll tell ya', those girls give my collection quite the workout. Some of them even want to listen to my record collection as well, but I save that for the mrs.
