Listening to ALL your music

I found that I seem to be listening to only a few CD's in my collection very often. While it is nice to have "reference" recordings, I found that I am concentrating on sound, not music. So, to counter this, I have decided to listen to all my CD's . I will not aquire any new CD's or make any changes to my system until I have listened to every note on every CD I have.

They are arranged alphabetically, and I seem to be able to do 2 or 3 a night. I have close to 700 CD's, so this should take a while.

Has anyone else done this?

Here's how I do it.

For home (high-end listening) i play whatever catches my fancy. My car has 6-cd cartridges. I have three cartridges so I have 18 Dcs 'loaded' at any time. One day I mixed up my entire Cd collection (except for the total CRAP, as Slappy calls it) and I piled my Cds. When I finish listening to one cartridge, I re-load it from 'the pile' and continue listening to the other two cartridges. By the time I get to the third cartridge I am pleasantly surprized. There are about 250 CDs so it takes my mor than half a year to get through it.
