How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own?

The "how much did you spend on your system?" thread got me to wondering...how much software does the typical Audiogoner have? And what is it's value, as a percentage of your hardware? As for me: 100 DVDs, 330 CDs, 250 LPs...total value about 30-40% of my total A/V hardware. I feel guilty...a cousin of mine boasts 2000 CDs and 8000 LPs!

About 900 CDs and about 500 LPS (down from about 800 many years ago, not to mention the ones I didn't keep even before CDs came along); No DVDs--IMO there's nothing out there (at least in the U.S.) worth spending more than the cost of a tape rental to watch.

The value of my software is far in excess of the value of my hardware--roughly $12-13,000 (conservatively) vs. about $3500, or $4500 if you count older gear that's been moved to second-system status.

About 1000 CDs and a couple hundred VHS tapes. These represent about 40% of stereo system value. Happy Listening. Craig

I have a little over 1000 cd's, 50+ DVD's and 30 Laserdiscs. Don't have a single Lp. My X won the flip and took my record collection in 1984, just to piss me off. I got my first cd player soon after and never looked back. Here's the kicker. I ran into her a few years ago and asked about my beloved LP's. She told me she tossed them into the trash because they were too heavy and costly to move.
