How is your many titles in your digital collection

This thread is spawned from what I believe to be misleading information being passed on us by the RIAA. So please post how many titles you have in your digital collection be sure to break it down by format. For example mine would be:

2000+ Redbook
250+ SACD
150 DVDv
0 DVDa

Please don't get into heated debate about this and please everyone who has a digital collection post your results as to create a wide and diverse audiophile "cross-section" and if you analog people want to include vinyl that number I guess we can let it slide :)

Tireguy- Unware? Can't you read? Most of the audiophiles who posted in your thread don't own very many if any SACDs.

In the Borders store here on Maui, I've seen less than a dozen SACDs in the jazz/blues sections that I check on a weekly basis.

If you think the RIAA figures are misleading, why don't you contact them.

Yes, but Kana, many audiophiles in this forum have spent upwards of 5K on a redbook player--they don't want to know that *any* format is better in the same way that one can't acknowledge another religion. I live in the US and I buy most of my SACDs over-seas because they come out months faster. Even if the figures are correct, the RIAA is not the last word.

"I live in the US."

jdaniel- just in case you didn't know, Hawaii is part of the United States. We vote and pay federal taxes, just like you folks on the mainland.

The RIAA maybe not be the last word on SACD sales, but as this thread shows SACD ownership is very limited, so who
cares.

Kana- Keep trying but I am not going to play your "game" this time. We agree to disagree, and I am going to leave it at that.

CD: 2500
SACD: 0
DVD-A: 0

Actually the Sterophile figures don't seem that far out of line. Figures project to 540 million CDs year vs 1.2 million SACD/DVD-A year.

The audiophiles who post here makes up only top couple per cent of music buying market......and in this small community SACD ownership is still very small.
