What is approx. percentage of your total


record collection do you actually listen to? I am particularly interested in those with collections numbering in the thousands.

I've got a couple thousand records, probably listen to 200 from time to time, maybe 50 on and off, 20 get the most action. Record collection is split abuot 50% classical, 40% rock (mostly classic rock) and 10% other. 99%+ of my listening is to classical music. I haven't spun a rock record in over a year.
About 3500. About 75 take me to a particular place in the past with fond memories and are in the rotation. I try to listen to the rest as the mood strikes me. Sometimes I'll take requests from my wife or 88 year-old mom. I buy new music such as Grace Potter too.
I have about 600 records and guess I listen to about 60% regularly. I also have about 1000 CD's - the % of those in regular play is a little less.
About 6000 albums about 100 or so in heavy rotation, about 3000 CD's about 100 or so in play here too.

This rings true to almost any of my clients too - however have one couple husband and wife mid 60s that have about 5000 albums or so 99% opera, and listens to them in order, they are sorted out by label, 2 to 3 albums every night.

Their system is very similar to mine.

As always, Good listening
