How Big Is Your Collection?
Discussion
After looking at the 'Music I have just bought' thread I was wondering how big people's collections are.
About 3 years ago I transfered everything I owned to digital format and streamlined my collection, ridding it of things I no longer had an interest in, so it is alot smaller than it was.
I still have all my CD's and records in storage although they rarely get used or have anything new added to the physical collection. I now use iTunes for my music fix.

Some interesting responses. Think we have had this mini-debate before. I agree the real hands on form of music is the best, no shadow of a doubt.
However, for the listener who doesn't have much space and travels a bit, digital is the only way. I love having my full collection with me at all times.
Digital does have some advantages other that size aswell you know!
And come on Koenig, put us out of our misery!

Regarding the volume of material available, I don't know exactly, but the last time I reckoned it up by the shelf feet of vinyls, about 15,000 + albums / 12" 3,000 CDs, 2,000 7" and about 18,000 ripped and d/l tracks on a 1Tb and a 0.5Tb drive.
Oh, and a lot of tape cassettes this time.

What genres do you tend you listen to the most? I presume you have a very eclectic taste as that amount of music would be very deep for just one or two different styles.Oh, and a lot of tape cassettes this time.

Wel, I like all sorts of music, you can see from the Last Album I bought thread, but I specialise in
Early 1990's Cologne acid and techno, from the Brotherhood of Structure stable
and
Grating electronic noise, like Hive Mind, MZ412, Merzbow, Throbbing Gristle
