Hardbopjazz Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I used to buy a cd a week. Somehow that stopped. Did you get married? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Over half of the responders have more music than I do! Wait a minute; Barb's gotta see this... Oh never mind; it won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Stream Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Damn 1500-2500 is the norm of the participants of the poll. I guess I wasn't as bad as I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've just tallied up my LPs and CDs and I'm around the 5000 mark. All jazz, apart from a couple of Classical LPs and a stack of Steely Dan. Gonna have to clear out some old 70s vinyl to make some room..

Rooster_Ties Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Probably about 2,000, maybe closer to 2,400. But not all jazz -- not by a long shot. About 800 jazz. Maybe 1,000 classical. About 400 rock. Those are rough guesses. I own less than 100 LP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The thing I love about this poll is that I can show the results to my wife, and claim the size of my collection is perfectly normal!!!

relyles Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Too big. I don't have time to properly listen to and appreciate the music I have, but I still can't seem to stop adding to the collection. If we include all the LPs, CDs and CDRs of unissued live performances in my basement, I am probably somewhere between 4500 and 5000.

danasgoodstuff Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Mines so big I can't [edited for freudian slip, oh my...] measure it, and it just keeps growing! But seriously, I guestimated it at between 3500 and 5000, all formats, all styles. Mostly vinyl, mostly jazz.

Dave James Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 If you take the midpoint of each numerical category and then assume that those in the 5000+ category have exactly 5,000, that's a total of 201,300 CD's. When I did he math, 83 people had replied which is an average of 2,425 CD's per respondant. If you assume an average cost per CD of $12.00 (which is probably low) the total investment is in the neighborhood of $2.4 million. That means the average person's investment is right around $29,000. My Lordy me!! Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
