How many CD's do you own?
It's been a while since we've had a "look how big my **** is" thread.

The only rules for the poll is that you must be honest and Mariah Carey albums don't count.

No music CDs, probably 100-150 game CDs, though.

Oh, and I also have the first three seasons of Farscape burned on CDs That takes up about 35, aswell.

Easily in excess of 200, and perhaps over 300, but I voted 151-300 to be safe.

EDIT: I didn't count multi-disc sets, such as most of my opera recordings. If those discs count individually, I easily have over 300.

At least 150 music CD:s. But I haven't bought many in the recent year, thanks to P2P networks and MP3.

I've never counted mine. I inherited a load from my Dad when he died. I must have in total (spread across two countries) nearly 2000.

I'm disappointed no one noticed how I managed to comply with the Banana requirement.

If I die from the killer pneumonia before I propagate, you can have all my classical discs (that's easily over 1000). I don't have that much Opera - some Mozart, Gounod (got it cheap), A bit of Wagner and Peter Grimes.

I've got quite a few other multi disc sets, but I counted them as one.

In excess of 2 000, not counting box sets as multiple c.d.s.

I have been collecting for some time, and I don't smoke or drink, so I could indulge. And London and Manchester had some excellent record fairs, and very good charity shops where promotional c.d. albums and singles could be picked up for 50 pence or a pound. Oh, and rather good music shops such as Reckless Records, Cheapo Cheapo, Vinyl Solution, etc...

Life is too short without music...

Around 80 music CD's, about half of that being Queen...
About 150 if I'd count every single CD/CD-ROM/DVD I have (including empty CD-R's).
(I voted 31 - 100)

I have only around 100 MP3's, and about a dozen tapes.

Only one music CD is a copy, and I plan on buying that one yet... That might take a while though, since as of this month I no longer have an "income", and I won't have one until the end of this summer probably.

I've no idea. It was over 1000 6 years ago, and it's got a lot bigger since. I'd hazard a guess at about 1500 over vinyl, cassette and CD. I need a bigger house.
