Why so much????

It's AMERICA and you get to do exactly what you WANT to do!

i got over 400 Cd's and only about 20-30 of them ever find themselves in my player. most of mine are junk, or albums in which i was disappointed after i heared it.

You gotta dig in the dirt to find the gold eh?

I cannot imagine having over 1000 cd's. No problem with it i guess, but i would lose track of everything pretty quick

I'm with Kal also.

As for myself, I have about 3,000 CD's and 250 SACD's (the latters are mostly hybrids). I listen to all kinds of music but about 65% of the collection is classical (vocal, opera, symphonic, chamber). In this repertoire, there are many valid interpretations of the same piece, hence the need to collect many versions. What is currently spinning depends on the mood. I'd rather satisfy my hunger for software than spend the money on hardware upgrades just to hear a few discs over and over. There is so much great art out there begging to be discovered.
But this is just me. Crazy me.

1.too much is when you buy a second copy forgetting you already have one
2.because I like music and I feel it is and investment in my past
3.yes...no....yes....no....maybe...yes..no............
