Listening to ALL your music

I found that I seem to be listening to only a few CD's in my collection very often. While it is nice to have "reference" recordings, I found that I am concentrating on sound, not music. So, to counter this, I have decided to listen to all my CD's . I will not aquire any new CD's or make any changes to my system until I have listened to every note on every CD I have.

They are arranged alphabetically, and I seem to be able to do 2 or 3 a night. I have close to 700 CD's, so this should take a while.

Has anyone else done this?

From my point of view life is too short to impose such a task onto yourself. While I wholeheartedly agree with you about the time wasted listening to the sound of your system as opposed to the music, don't waste more time listening to music you don't feel inclined to hear. Focus on expanding your horizons to music you haven't already experienced (I assume you've listened to all your stuff at least once). Its much more rewarding in the long run. At least it has been so for me. And, as I have said before, get the recordings while they are still available! By the way, nice system - no need to spend money there to enjoy the music.

I've found that the more software I have the harder it is to decide what to play. It's easy to go with the old standbys whether for sonics or convenience. I ask my wife what she would like to hear and playing that request mixes things up enough to send me on a tangent to various other albums. Did that make sense?? It's late. Goodnight.
