How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?

703 albums here......over 40 years. A lean collection. 550 of these I purchased at thrift stores, in the epoch when whole NM collections were being dumped. Virtually free. I've only purchased 150 new albums. I have not had a good experience of buying new vinyl without defects, so I mainly concentrate on original issues from the '50s and '60s....jazz and jazz singers. Contemporary jazz I buy always on CD, which has become an excellent medium.

About 300 of which I listen to 90% of them, on the average 4 times a year. I think if you don't listen to them at least once a year, it's a waste of space and $$. Do the math. For me it's more of a limit of what I would play than a top number. Some artists get played more than others (Miles, Steely Dan, Beatles, Wes Montgomery, Milt Jackson, Pat Metheny, Stan Getz, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, Coltrane, Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt, Boz Scaggs, Jimmy Smith, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd immediately come to mind) and they are rotated almost evenly within each artist collection.

Most are audiophile pressings and I add maybe 10 a year, trying to make sure they will be in the higher playing frequency category.

I usually don't plan what I'm going to listen to when I fire up the stereo. Maybe I'll cue up Qobuz or Primephonic and look at what's featuring on their home pages. I might click on something...more often than not something I've never heard before. Then again, maybe their home pages might inspire me to go to my CD or LP shelves. Or else, I might go to one of my pet websites, such as Fiddle Hangout. I'll click on something a contributor has posted (maybe a YouTube, a historic old performance or a self-recorded vid/mp3).  I'll route it through the hi-fi.  The world is my musical oyster.

There’s about 65-85 LPs in a linear foot. Depends on the thickness of the vinyl and the sleeves. So, the someone with 5 linear ft has about 375 LPs. When I moved, there were 88 boxes 13 x 13 x 13. That was about 75 LPs per box (excl boxes for the 78s and 45s).

I have 6,000+ LPs, about 300 78s, about 200 45s.
I started collecting when I was 9. I’m almost 67 now so that’s a lifetime of collecting, about 100 LPs per year. My first LP was 12 X 5 by The Rolling Stones.

The LPs are about as follows: 25% Afro-Cuban, 35% classical, 40% everything else (blues, jazz, gospel, reggae, soukous, tango, country, country western, bluegrass, zydeco, folk, rock, 50s-60s-70s-80s, punk, new wave, rock ‘n roll, disco, swing, Tex mex, world musics, etc. almost no rap or hip hop).

I listen to about 500 regularly. I would say that I listen to each one more or less at least once over the course of 6 years. Some are still unopened. Some I have only because guests will ask to hear them (most of the disco for example), or because they are good dance LPs for parties. Some are duplicates.

To the person who reduces collectors to neurotic hoarders: Yes, I “collect” LPs. I “collect” books. I also happen to get use out of them.

that said, I’m planning on weeding out about 1,500 LPs via eBay.

Somewhere around 3,000 here and still buying every week.
