October 29, 2024Oct 29 Do you have a list of them? I’d be intrigued. Considering we both own a lot of stuff, I have a gut feel we may not actually have that much crossover.
October 29, 2024Oct 29 I got rid of 2 large boxes of compilation CDs a couple of years ago as they were just taking up room and I only bought most of them as they were useful for when I used to set music quizzes - back in the days before Spotify and the like made it really easy. At the time I had over 3,000 CDs plus about the same in CD singles. I probably got rid of a couple of hundred but I also took them all out of the jewel cases and keep them in a slim plastic sleeve now, as it saves so much space. I don't buy CDs anymore unless it's for an artist who I am particularly invested in and they need the financial support. That's the same with my vinyl. I don't play them but I will buy every version for an artist that warrants it.
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Back in the day, Asda used to sell off bargain bin chart singles for 1p (yes, really), and I got loads of singles that way. I have also picked up several batches of over 100 albums at a time, for about £25-£50 a pop, over the years. So while it sounds like an insane number, most have been sourced in cheap ways, in large quantities. But I do still on average buy 2-3 CDs a week even now (including charity shop stuff, so I rarely spend much). Do you have a list of them? I’d be intrigued. Considering we both own a lot of stuff, I have a gut feel we may not actually have that much crossover. Do you guys still play your CDs regularly?
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Do you have a list of them? I’d be intrigued. Considering we both own a lot of stuff, I have a gut feel we may not actually have that much crossover. I don't, sadly, i only have a list of my CD singles, which hasn't been updated since early 2008 (see below). I've got many more albums than I have singles.

October 29, 2024Oct 29 Do you guys still play your CDs regularly? I do, but I rip to my computer and listen via iTunes, I don't tend to use a CD player. I would say I use iTunes more than Spotify when I'm at home.
October 29, 2024Oct 29 I have: 3,539 CDs (1,718 albums, 1,724 singles, 97 EPs - including accompanying DVD releases where applicable) 118 cassettes (65 albums, 48 singles, 5 EPs) 38 vinyl (19 twelve-inch, one ten-inch, 18 seven-inch) My collection can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i4H...dit?usp=sharing I store them across two rooms in my house - my bedroom and my study. My bedroom has the bulk of my collection across a variety of shelving and storage units, sorted A-Z by artist (first name, so Alexandra Burke goes under A for example). Within each artist, albums go first in chronological order, before singles in chronological order. Any releases that are too big for where they're supposed to be stored will be put separately. This method does mean that filing any new releases away can be quite the mission...! Downstairs in the study is where I store the collections of my favourite artists, either in shelving or smaller CD storage boxes, so that I can access my most valued collections more easily, as well as store further memorabilia for my top favourites (e.g. various One Direction books, merchandise etc are all down here too). I also have 329 DVDs which are all downstairs - 57 are music, 43 films, 228 are TV.
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Do you guys still play your CDs regularly? Not in the slightest... I do play my records but don't even have a CD player any longer. Although I do have a drive I can attach to my laptop if I ever want to rip anything. From gooddelta's list, these are the ones we have in common: Ace Of Base-Always Have, Always Will Alanis Morissette-Hands Clean Alice Deejay-Back In My Life Ann Lee-2 Times ATB-9pm (Till I Come) ATC-Around The World (La La La La La) Basement Jaxx-Rendez-Vu BBE-Flash Black Box Recorder-The Facts Of Life Bomfunk Mc’s-Freestyler Christina Aguilera-Genie In A Bottle Daft Punk-One More Time DB Boulevard-Point Of View Delerium Feat Sarah McLachlan-Silence DJ Jean-The Launch DJ Jurgen Presents Alice Deejay-Better Off Alone DJ Quicksilver-Belissima Eiffel 65-Blue (Da Ba Dee) (Import) Eiffel 65-Move Your Body Fragma-Toca’s Miracle Ian Van Dahl-Castles In The Sky Jakatta-American Dream Jx-There’s Nothing I Won’t Do Kylie Minogue-Can’t Get You Out Of My Head Kylie Minogue-Love At First Sight Kylie Minogue-Some Kind Of Bliss Kylie Minogue-Spinning Around Mariah Carey-Open Arms N-Trance-Set You Free Paul Van Dyk Feat Saint Etienne-Tell Me Why (The Riddle) Paul Van Dyk-Another Way/Avenue Rank 1-Airwave Robyn With Kleerup-With Every Heartbeat Robyn-Handle Me Safri Duo-Played-A-Live (The Bogo Song) Shapeshifters-Lola’s Theme Snap!

I did have some of yours on 12" or as paid for downloads but I haven't counted them.
October 29, 2024Oct 29 I've also looked through the list on Joseph's spreadsheet and I think we have (about) 147 in common! Not sure if that's more or less than I expected :D
October 29, 2024Oct 29 I've still got: * A lot of CD singles - mostly in a folder with the inserts that came with them. Most of these are from 98-2002(ish) * A lot of CD albums - I did a clear out a couple of years ago and sold loads on Music Magpie, but basically kept anything I adore/is a special edition/I couldn't sell * Vinyls of my fave albums * Vinyls I've inherited - including some orchestral BBC recordings from something like the 1920's/1930's
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Genuine question but why do people use the expression 'vinyls' these days? How exactly did that come about? I mean, in the record collecting community the plural of vinyl was always simply vinyl but since the format has become popular again it has changed. Anyone know how or why this came about?
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Vinyl still is the plural, I think it's just that people get it wrong these days. Plus there are a heck of a lot of people who are utterly useless when it comes to spelling and grammar and it makes sense to them to just add the 's' to the end when there are more than one. I work in an environment where you would expect a good level of grammatical skill but it never ceases to amaze me how rare it is to find someone who doesn't need their work proof reading before it goes out. It amuses me how wound up some older people get about it though.

I'd say your music taste is quite different to mine looking at your list, but we do have 8 CDs in common: Ashanti - Ashanti Ashanti - Chapter II Honeyz - Finally Found Honeyz - End Of The Line Honeyz - Wonder No.8 Mis-Teeq - Lickin on Both Sides Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly Nelly Furtado - Loose

It amuses me how wound up some older people get about it though. Yeah, it's because spelling and grammar have basically gone out of the window these days. That said, language is constantly evolving so maybe in time "vinyls" will become the accepted plural, albeit through misuse?
October 29, 2024Oct 29 Author I don't know if this is any good but I was looking for a platform or app that I could use to document my music library, and I came across this; https://www.kimicoapps.com/musicbuddy It's a free app called MusicBuddy and it looks kike a handy tool to help you get organised. Anyone use something similar?
October 30, 2024Oct 30 I just use a good old-fashioned spreadsheet, like I do with many other things in my life!
October 31, 2024Oct 31 I don’t think my collection is impressive as many here, but it is a reasonable size. I’ve never counted it, but I’ve got three kallax cubes of vinyl, 2.5 of CDs and one of just Sugababes releases. I’m also a collector of DVDs which makes up the majority of my physical media collection, at least by volume. For now everything apart from the vinyl, Sugababes items and one cube of DVD/BluRay is packed neatly in the basement for lack of storage reasons
November 1, 2024Nov 1 I don't know if this is any good but I was looking for a platform or app that I could use to document my music library, and I came across this; https://www.kimicoapps.com/musicbuddy It's a free app called MusicBuddy and it looks kike a handy tool to help you get organised. Anyone use something similar? I use Discogs because it then tells you the value of it too, as well as it being a community platform and marketplace I also like that you can click for it to select a random album, good for those days when you’re not sure what you want to listen to as it regularly suggests something I’ve not listened to in ages
November 3, 2024Nov 3 Does anyone else’s partners complain to you about your collecting habit? Nope, nobody's partners complain to me :kink:
November 3, 2024Nov 3 🤣 I’m continually getting ‘Don’t you think you should maybe look through your collection and get rid of stuff you don’t like’
