Too much is keeping music you don't, and won't ever like. Edesilva hit the nail on the head, sometimes you have to look quite awhile to find something to play that hits the spot. For example, I have a traveling cd case of 200 discs. Sometimes I can page through the whole thing and nothing really grabs me. So 200 definitely isn't enough. However, when I have the whole collection available (1000 cd's/records) I can always find something that works.
I enjoy the search for a great piece of music I haven't heard before. This past year I've been buying a lot of jazz, as previously I wasn't really into it. What a voyage! I can now imagine what it's like to hear the Beatles/Stones/Whoever for the first time, instead of for the 1000th time. All that great music that I ignored for so long. That ain't crazy.
