relyles Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Too many to count, but finding minor comfort in knowing I am not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 At one point several years ago had over 2000 from having bought two huge bulk purchases from guys, but by earlier this year had listened to everything. Current backlog of about 30-40 un-listened-to titles, more from trades than purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Add me to the guilty list. Sometimes the hunt is the highlight... You know you will get to them eventually-but as the list grows you know you must wait till retirement till you find time. But the hunt never ends Many of us continue though to hit the used bins at least a few times a month looking for "finds" as we are addicted... I plead "the fifth"... This post should be shifted to the poetry thread. I leave it to you to decide on a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I realized I have a bought a few CDs this year that I haven't even opened yet. One being "The Storyteller" by Randy Weston. I bought it back in February. I know this because I still have the receipt. I'm a big fan of Weston. I don't know why I haven't listen to the CD yet. Anyone else done this? Nope, I think you and GA are the only ones. Yeah, that NEVER happens to me!!!! Add me to the guilty list. Sometimes the hunt is the highlight...

I guess we're like squirrels laying in a supply of acorns for the long winter. Of course, the winter is almost never long enough to get through the accumulated supply but you never know what you might need. Better safe than sorry.

felser Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 IT is a splendid career choice for getting 4-5-6 hours a day of listening time during the work day to remain (supposedly) sane. Not sure how to keep a marriage together and healthy if the bulk of the listening is done at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Not sure how to keep a marriage together and healthy if the bulk of the listening is done at home. Hmmm. Let's see. Wife or CD collection? Give me a minute. I'm gonna need a little time with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Other than Discs 14 through 18 of the Miles at Montreux set, I've listened to everything I own. Don't think I'll ever get to those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have not played everything I own. I find box sets tough to get through and through a job change the at work and commute listening time is pretty much gone. I keep telling myself to buy less and listen to what i have but it does not seem to work, i just don`t listen to my own advice very well.

medjuck Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I try to listen to everything twice before I put it away. I'm in my car driving to LA and back at least once a week so I usually have one day a week with 3-4 hours listening. I try not to buy new things while I have unopened cds around. (Hence I put off ordering Chuck's two new releases until last week when I finally finished hearing all of the Lunceford Mosaic and the Miles '67 box.) Now DVD: s that's another matter. I get sent a lot of them during the Academy Award season and it takes me a while to get to them all. Sort of like homework, so any older films I get on DVD have to wait-- sometimes for years.

Brad Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The people who aren't guilty of this must be a very small list indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Shame on me - I've still got to crack open the Chu Berry Mosaic. I'd be more than willing to take it off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I listen to everything within a day or two of getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have a boatload of Classical discs I haven't gotten to, plus the Johnny Mercer Mosaic Select, a few Art Blakey RVGs, and more digital material than I'd care to list. Guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cih Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I normally listen within 24 hours - usually on the hour's commute to work in the motor. Books is another matter, there's a pile I've bought and haven't read - mainly art books that are too big to read in the bath (I've looked at all the pictures though).
