So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

Elizabeth.

2800 or so is still a lot of vinyl but I have trouble trying to picture how much space 14000 records occupied!

I am sure I could not get through that lot in my remaining lifetime.

Glad you found the fortitude to seriously cull! 

Grew up in the 60's and I only have about a hundred LPs. Have about 400 cd's. I don't collect a lot but do listen to them a lot and don't get tired of them.

Uber - I have slowly been cataloguing my collection on Discogs. Going through them all seems a little overwhelming so I just do one or two at a time. After I play something I set it next to my computer and add it to Discogs before I put it away. 

I think Elizabeth’s post is rather sad.  I know vinyl is not for everyone and not forever, but her peak number shows that she was really into it at one time.  I understand that circumstances change, but calling all that classical worthless junk and just data is too much for me to ignore.  There is a lot of hassle with a large collection, but we do it for the love of it. Or not.

@uberwaltz,

I've always made an effort to not overplay music. Even when I was young, if I bought an lp for one song, I'd always play it through instead of taking it off. I've discovered a lot of good music with that approach that I would have passed over otherwise.
