How large is your music collection?

At one time I had about 5000 CDs and I sold them due to the fact that I had no room for them and most of them I didn't listen to at all. In the last few years I add a title to my collection only if it is really good and worthy of multiple listens and the enjoyment value is high. My current collection is less than 1000 for both CD and vinyl.

I've got a friend that has so many CDs, SACDs, LPS, etc. that even if he listened for 8 hours a day he would never repeat the same selection in more than 10 years. To me that just doesn't make sense but it makes him happy so I guess that is what counts.

How about everyone here? Do you add just to add or do you keep your collection, like me, to just the best of the best.

My CD collection is static and does not grow or change much. Occasionally something will come around that is new that I really want like the new Robin Trower or maybe the new Beatles box set; however, those instances are few. Most new CDs are either remasters that have superior sonic qualities or Best Of compilations from artist that I like enough to own a compilation but not a complete library.

Either way, I have just about every CD that I've ever wanted and several compilation CDs that bring back memories.

I've got 200 LPs from a few years ago when I got back into vinyl and purchased a turntable. The turntable, TT preamp, and vinyl gather dust and they may go by the wayside. Vinyl is so hard to maintain.
