How long do cassettes last?

I have about 1300 CDs and about 20 LPs.

The few I have are at least 20 years old

I've thinned my CD's out a bit and don't buy nearly as many as I once did... I'm down to about 3,200 CD's and about 175 demos and cassettes. About 40 DVD's of videos and live performances.

My music collection is made of around a 1000 CDs no more tapes, no DVD, and few Motorhead Lps, Eps.

Um...I have only less than 100 CDs.

Well I'm still in the process of counting / arranging them, but I've purchased (sorry recieved) the following since the 1st of January :

122 CDs
4 Vinyl
2 Tapes
18 DVDs

Decided to keep track of all that comes in from Jan on.

dumb mailman!!!

Closing in in 3500 CDs. Plus 750 or so vinyl and around 1000 DVDs.

I just recently finished adding up all the crap in my Rateyourmusic account so I can actually answer this! The final tally is: 709 "real" CDs, 219 CD-Rs, 8 (music related) DVDs, 71 vinyl, and 9 (music related) VHS tapes.

Total: 1016 pieces.

If I ever feel industrious enough I'll drag whatever cassettes I still own out of the closet and add those in as well.

OR...............you can send them my way. I heard they offer frre shipping from Joisry to Montucky

I just went over the 1800 mark in cds for the New Year. I don't own enough vinyl, dvds, vhs or tapes worth mentioning.

About 1500 CDs, 300 to 400 tapes (I think), 2 to 4 music DVDs (depends on whether I decide 2 of them count), possibly 1 music VHS (it's both the same as one of the questionable DVDs and something I'm not positive I actually owned), 1 vinyl kid's album, and one 8-track.

My M-S account says 744 CDs, 30 vinyls, 11 tapes and 1 DVD. + 1 LP, which is banned from that site

1320 CDs for sure, estimated 20 tapes, and 47 DVDs.

23 of the DVDs were part of several CD/DVD combos. Also figure about 100 of those CDs are comedy albums.

I have over 300 items in total but that includes CDs, DVDs, tapes and vinyl and promo stuff of The Darkness; I own 35 items by them - that's more than 10% of my whole collection and that doesn't include the related stuff like Stone Gods and British Whale

According to rate your music:

Cassette-76
CD-2665
DVD-252 (only music related)
vinyl-324
VHS-87

Almost correct there are a few stray concert bootleg DVD's and CD's I have been unable to add to the site

Haha, that'd be fine if I ever get round to replacing the last of'em with CD copies. That's been an ongoing project for goin' on 20 years now. If and when I ever do upgrade the last couple of stragglers, CD's will probably be obsolete too.

Seriously, though, the few that I have left are mainly demo tapes by local bands (one of which has my name in the thank-you list) and some other odds and ends that to my knowledge aren't available on CD (or are just too damn hard to find or too expensive on CD)... but I can't bring myself to simply chuck'em, even though I don't even have a cassette player to play'em on anymore. They're basically museum pieces at this point.

Replacing my vinyl, tapes and now VHS concert tapes has been ongoing project for eons, I usually just give away my vinyl, VHS and tapes, when I replace them, usually the tapes and VHS get donated to my local library.
