1-How big is it(cds,vinyl,downloads etc)(Include display pics etc if you want.)
-- I think at last count it was about 520 CDs, 15 or so vinyl, and a large cache of iTunes downloads (maybe like... 300, 400. Can't check atm as my iTunes is on the other computer).
2-Is there stuff you have not played(how much)
-- Yes, definitely. Sometimes I give something a try on a whim and rarely ever go back to it. I have a lot of these.
3-Do you buy your music or do you take the odd frebbie download from blogs.
-- I buy it. I'm not net savvy enough to download for free, the files I get are always of inferior quality.
4-How much per month do you think you spend
-- On music, probably 30 bucks.
5-Is your collection out of control and growing like a monster
-- Not now that I've switched to digital.
6-How many chances do you give a purchase(eg 3 goes)
-- However many I feel. If it doesn't land at all, maybe as few as one.
7-Do you have stuff that you do not like(eg part of a bands discography)
-- Sure. I'm not a completest so I don't have too much of that stuff but when it comes to new releases by old bands sometimes I get it because it's new, and it doesn't turn out too good.
8-Do you sell off parts of your collection from time to time.
-- No! Never! I never know when something will suddenly become relevant, my taste changes VERY rapidly. For example when pop finally 'landed' for me, suddenly a handful of records I wasn't especially fond of before became extremely important to me.

About 350 cassette tapes, about 275 albums, about 90 cds and something like 15 songs I stole using Napster back when I was brand new to computers.
Some of the albums I got in bulk and have never got a chance to spin them. Most of the cassettes are in storage. I doubt some of them still pay.
I usually buy them from second hand stores or once in a while I see something good in a bargain bin.
Probably about a penny really.
No, not at all. I wish it was but I don't get much time to listen to music these days.
I usually don't buy anything unless I am at least reasonably certain I'm going to like it. After I buy it I give it the same chance as any other piece of 'new' music. I usually try about three to five times and if there isn't anything I at least like I never touch it again unless someone who's opinion I value manages to say something intriguing about it. Then I give it one more listen with that in mind.
Practically every band I like has huge amounts of material I don't like at all.
No. Once I have it and like it the only thing I might do is give it to someone who I don't think would have it any other way. I lost a lot of cool records like this.

1-How big is it(cds,vinyl,downloads etc)(Include display pics etc if you want.)
I used to have a pretty big Cassette collection (3000+), but did'nt take much care of it, lent most of it out (most were'nt returned lol) etc, & now I'm left with maybe 10% of what I had, if that.
Anyway, I did learn my lessons from that & my CD collection at the moment numbers about 5000 (+)
Pics (sorry but these are pasted here from another forum & I have'nt resized them..they're also about a year old):
2-Is there stuff you have not played(how much)
No.
3-Do you buy your music or do you take the odd frebbie download from blogs.
No freebies! I want the real thing!
4-How much per month do you think you spend
Between $150-250 on average
5-Is your collection out of control and growing like a monster
Unfortunately (or fortunately...), yes it is! It's spread out all over the place and I now have a large part lying in boxes for lack of rack space.
6-How many chances do you give a purchase(eg 3 goes)
I keep them all most of the time. There have been instances when I really did'nt like something, came back to it years later & loved it!
7-Do you have stuff that you do not like(eg part of a bands discography)
Yeah..but not much.
8-Do you sell off parts of your collection from time to time.
Yes, but very occasionally
9-Please feel free to say anything else.
I'm pretty anal about it...replace scratched/broken covers, arrange re-arrange, dust (& even plastic polish..). It's kind of obsessive haha.

1-How big is it(cds,vinyl,downloads etc)(Include display pics etc if you want.)
I've lost count, but I have a lot of vinyl and CDs. I am old enough to own quite a few cassettes, although I've been culling them recently. I have a few downloads.
2-Is there stuff you have not played(how much)
There are albums or bands I don't listen to for a long time and then I have a blitz on them. Probably the only albums I don't listen to at all are my George Hatcher Band albums, which I do not have the heart to dump - because they were a great live band.
3-Do you buy your music or do you take the odd frebbie download from blogs.
I still mainly buy CDs with a few downloads, although when HMV are sold to overseas asset strippers, the former could be a problem. I confess to downloading albums from blogs which I cannot find and are out of print. Among these are a poor vinyl rip of Meal Ticket's One for the Road, Please Mind Your Head by String Driven Thing and Get Up by The B'zz. I collect boots by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
4-How much per month do you think you spend
Not much these days. My main period of spending was on CDs in the nineties, when I went mad. I listen to some of these CDs now and I can see that I was ripped off because the sound quality is crappier than I realised. By the time improved remasters appeared, I had already spent too much money.
5-Is your collection out of control and growing like a monster
No, but it was.
6-How many chances do you give a purchase(eg 3 goes)
Yes, then I return to them after a gap.
7-Do you have stuff that you do not like(eg part of a bands discography
I have bought albums by Pink Floyd (The Wall), Uriah Heep (Wonderworld) and Wishbone Ash (Locked In) that I do not like. They all have good tracks, but not enough to justify the purchase. I keep trying to get into modern progressive rock bands, such as Glass Hammer or Mystery, and I fail every time.
8-Do you sell off parts of your collection from time to time.
I have done, but not for a long time. I regretted selling some albums, which I should have kept, most notably the Harvest sampler, Picnic.
9-Please feel free to say anything else.
Despite trying, I cannot recapture the pleasure of buying albums when I was young. Returning home with Dark Side of the Moon, Moontan or Groundhogs' Best, after parting with my savings, and putting it on the turntable held something magical in those days. I would play one album over and over again. Perhaps it was because everything was new.
