A question for ultmetal...

I build my own cd racks and to date I have like 7000 cds and my one bedroom is full. I also have 600 tapes, used to have over 1500 albums but sold them.
Also have 15,000 mp3 files as well and countless dvds.

Don't feel bad KissinMaiden and Metalguy I'm 32 and I only have about 200 +- Cds. Add cassettes, records, 8 tracks into the mix you're at about 350 max. I seem to be maxing out how much music I can mentally juggle at one time. I'll be interested to see how my growth rate is over the years. I'll always get the new releases from my favorites, but I don't know if I can have use for 1000's of cds. How do you guys find the time to properly listen to all that music?? I listen to 5-10 hours of metal a day (at least) and I can't find the time to listen to it all as much as I'd like.....

I just recently created an account at cd-tracker.com and was actually surprised that I had over 1000 cd's. I knew I had alot, but when you actually see the list, wow.

I almost always have music playing. To and from work, at work, at the gym, during dinner, at night when I'm on the computer. When I was single, I used to put on a cd at night to go to sleep, but the wife put an end to that.

When friends see my collection, they always ask if I really listen to all of them and I can honestly say "Yes I do".

That is amazing!!!

I'm just over a thousand in my collection. I'm gradually taking over the basement. One day, my wife will come down and realize that I've slowly filled the entire room with my music.

If my wife paid more attention, whe would also be wondering why my collection is growing, when she thinks it all is in the boxes.

i have all without covers, most are Flacs, mp3s, ... etc. maybe i have little collection. i will take a photo for yall.

I wanna be like him when I get in his age

I recenty started collecting, I have over 90 now.....

I have like... 300-400 cd's I forget the exact # right now. I thought my music collection was getting out of hand. Looking at pictures on here I feel so much better now... Then again, I just haven't gotten that may cd's yet.

Awesome pix of your collection, Ult. It makes me feel very... very... small.

But seriously, I have somewhere between 700 and 800 CDs (if you count CD-Rs), I haven't counted'em up in a while, I'd like to get to 1000 someday, that might be a nice "round" number to shoot for. I have a nice wooden cabinet in my living room for my CDs with doors that close and lock, which is a nice feature since I have a four year old son with grabby fingers around the house.

We're still waiting ...

A question for people with huge collections: How do you store your stuff? By alpabet, or is it all over the place (and how do you find a certain CD then? )

my originals are all over the place in the basement, but i have mp3s of everything (or most of it). i always rip it as soon as i buy, & then store the cd.

One day I'll convert the basement to My Collection Land.

That is EXACTLY what my basement is! It is pretty much Arttie-Land! Two walls are full of autographed 8x10's and other signed memorabilia (drum heads, drumsticks, set lists, etc.), 2 walls covered in pro-wrestling memorabilia, and one wall dedicated to my beloved Kansas City Royals. One wall will soon be nothing but Great White memorabilia, once I get everything framed and mounted the way I want...

I also have 7 racks of CD's completely filled as well as numerous boxes and stacks all over the place. I have nearly 4,000 CD's now (just over 2700 are listed on CD-Tracker now...), but virtually no vinyl (I think 10 albums total, now...just not interested.)

My collection's not exactly "huge" but they're all arranged alphabetically, and if I have more than one CD by a band, each band's CDs are arranged in chronological order, i.e. according to the year they were released. Yea, I'm super anal like that.

Mine are all alphabetized and then arranged by year of release once they get put into the racks.

Ditto

Glad to see I'm not the only obsessive-compulsive alphabetizer/arranger out there!!

My wife keeps her CDs in one of those photo-album style books with individual sleeves for each disc & the booklet. (She... GASP...throws away the tray art!! GACK!) They're heaped in that book in no particular order, but then again, she has maybe 60 CDs, tops, so I guess with such a small collection it's not worth the trouble for her.
