So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

@tomic601 - Thanks. Personally, I don't see a reason to have records I know I will never listen to again. I take the opportunity to trade them toward records I will enjoy, hopefully for years to come. I guess I'm less of a collector and more of a consumer of music media. I'm not knocking collectors. It's just not my thing.

I only started getting back in to vinyl in a big way around two years ago, with it really ramping up this year (once I discovered discogs).

I'm using discogs to organize my collection.  Says I have 423 in there, but I haven't finished cataloguing some of my old records.

My attitude is that I do not want to end up being a hoarder, where I'm just overrun with records that I'll never listen to.  I don't "collect" in the sense of buying records only for some other sense of "value" (e.g. this one was released with a wonky label, only a few made!), or rarity, or just for completion sake.  I'm looking to have a managable number of well curated records, buying only the records I will listen to (and not for just a song or two, but most of the record has to appeal).

That's why I don't do much crate-digging at all. I don't like hauling vinyl home just to take a chance on it, and then ending up with records I don't listen to.  Discogs...and youtube...allow me to listen to lots of tracks from an album before I buy.

But...I have to say I went vinyl crazy for a while, started buying too much, and have nipped it back to a sane number of records...for now...I hope...

Discogs is a great tool for letting the postman know you have gone off the vinyl deep end.... ask me how I know.....
