How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?

+/- 500 I may listen to 20-25 per year. My collection is mostly NM, M- from the late 50's to early 2000's. Mainly Jazz, Big Band, pop/rock and eclectic/avant-garde stuff. My CD, SACD and streaming collection is much much larger.

I got back in to vinyl heavily about 4 years ago and I've accumulated833 (per my discogs collection).


Frankly I've never wanted to own so many records that I didn't listen to many of them and didn't even know what I own.   So I've tried to curate my buying to only records I truly really like or love, purely on the music (not "collecting" records just to have them, no desire to "complete" sets or anything).     The result is that I have a good idea of what's in my collection and I can grab any album and enjoy it.


Still, it is addictive and I have to get a lid on purchasing or I WILL become one of those with "too many " records.   I think sheer ergonomics and space for records may put a cap on mine around 1,000.

I have somewhere over 2000 CDs. There are many that don't get regular play, but that is the luxury of a "library". They are there when you want to hear them, or have a guest who wants to hear something that I don't normally listen to. Every few years, I do eliminate things that I don't think are worthy of the space they occupy.

3000 for me. I have been buying them since I was a teenager and never stopped. It was funny as cds become popular all my friends would give me their vinyl. 

Agreed!  I collected a lot of great albums as my friends dumped them for CDs.  Kept all except the truly beat up ones or the ones I did not care for.  Passed those on to others to try.  I currently have about 2500 including the first one I bought in High School, I think it was around 1974.  Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality.  I cull every so often and still collect both at the used record stores and on-line, pretty much all genres.  I listen every day, several albums a day.  I have no TV and haven't put one of the 500 CDs on in more than 2 months.  No streaming.  Love the vinyl, also 45s and 78s.
