About 50 CDs - I'm surprised I have so many; I never listen to them anymore, as they're all conveniently located on my computer and mp3 player. I usually only purchase CDs if I REALLY like them.
It all depends.stok3r said:
If I count CDs and 12" vinyl in my personal home collection, probably about 450 CDs and maybe 50 vinyls.
If I then add all the CDs that I have in my house for various "work reasons", then probably add anywhere between 100 and 1000 CDs depending on how much I'm working. The more I work, the less CDs there are because they tend to build up if I do nothing, because I get sent shit all the time.
I also have about 200 cassettes and some stuff on reels, plus a bunch of computer files which are pre-masters and stuff usually in .wav format and that also fluctuates wildly. Right now my hard drive is just about full because there's a bunch of different projects on it which are all coming out at about the same time. I don't really have MP3s though, the only MP3s I own are things I've burnt from my own CD collection. File sharing is for terrorists.
443 on my ipod, a lot are borrowed cds from friends, though, so maybe half that? At least 100-150 physical cds at one point or another, I've lost most now.
Ah well...
Ah well...
I have no physical CD's due to the fact there are no decent CD stores where I live and I am a broke 14 year old.
Virtually though, like 200-300 or so.

im really not an album person. for almost any given artist i download only the songs i like. most albums i only like a couple songs from. with the exception of my favorite bands, which at least out of loyalty, i always buy their albums. like daft punk, groove armada, Crystal Method, Jamiroquai, and Gotan Project. I love every song from every album from all these guys.
Somewhere over 120.
I'm a collector, I MUST have the actual CD, I will never download a whole album, I have done this with only two albums, yet I still want their physical CDs.
Yes it is an expensive hobby but that is why you careful pick out what to buy and do it in moderation.

I work for a radio station and also with labels. I don't in fact need that many CDs, in fact I probably need about 1/50th of what I'm sent, however there is no option where I can tell my distributors "can you please only send me good things that interest me and not send 20 copies of some new album of yours that sucks piles of dick just because you want to promote it", because distro labels naturally think everything they distribute is hot shit. Also, I can't very well tell new talent to not send me shit because for every 500 CDs that come through that are garbage, one of them might potentially not suck and I don't want to miss that one.stok3r said:
I haven't counted in a while. Maybe 300 or so.
I refuse to use itunes on account of Apple's shady bussiness practices.
