been collecvcting classical music since the early 70 s.
had about 1500 lps -slimmed that down with cds replacing them have about 200 Lps left and maybe 500 plus cds thus far.
Intend to leave the cds to either a library or music school so others cn beenfit later.
Well that doesnt take into account recent moves to streaming by youger gen in particular but its still the plan.
As to how much you can listen to per day etc -wrong question .
Of course I can in no way ilsten to all my cds consecutively in any small time frame and the larger number of Lps even more true.
For me it was pure convenience -a matter of what I wanted to listen to combined with when.
Before streaming if I wanted to listen to Beethoven sym 4 conducted by Klemperer it was buy a hard copy or hope for a broad cast.
Thats why I invested in hard copies-same wd be true for other composers and conductors.
If your tastes werent mainstream well without an lp or cd good luck hearing minor but interesting composers.
Picked up the complete symphonies of Miaskovsky on cd for a decent price-very interesting to music students or those having an interest in Soviet era composers but not likely to be generally heard outside Russia for example.
These are some of the reasons I collected or hoarded.
Same with books I have a whole wall srcked with books Ive accumulated over time -some ive read many times others not.
They go to libraries when Im gone as well
