How many CDs do you own?

How many CDs do you own?

I own 22 of them.

I'd have to count for an exact amount, but 250 is a good guess.

I have about 3300

My CD collection is actually one of the main reasons I ended up buying a house over 18 years ago. I was living in a 1 bedroom apartment and my CDs were everywhere I had racks against almost every wall and when I ran out of room I started making piles of CDs everywhere. I finally had enough and when they tried to raise my rent again that was the additional impetus I needed to start house hunting. Of course I hardly buy any music at all anymore (not even digital) but I still have all my CDs in giant racks in the finished part of my basement.

Had to buy a house for CDs, that's funny!

Well that wasn't the only reason but it certainly contributed. It also helped me in picking out a house. I wanted one where my CDs wouldn't be in the same space as my normal living space; a "man cave" if you will. So I ended up with a "man basement" where I have all my CDs, my treadmill and my elliptical and where the walls are decorated with sports plaques and monster stuff.

Seeing as you live alone, isn't it a "man house"?

Good point. I guess it's more accurate to say my "inner child" lives in the basement.

Yeah, that'll play.

About 700. I am mixed user these days. Spotify while running, taking the dog out, cd while I'm alone at home.

And because my older daughter listens quite a lot to k-pop and blasts it to our wifi Harman Kardon speakers, I have to hide to my bedroom with my headphones and Judas Priest.

Sometimes the next generation is not better

I have a son and a daughter. My son turned out all right; he listens to hard rock and metal. My daughter, unfortunately, listens to a lot of pop and other music I can't stand. 50% isn't bad, is it?

Is your daughter a "Swiftie" OBF?

I wouldn't be surprised. I know she listens to Selena Gomez and stuff like that.

I have two daughters and the ugly math of life tells that girls are harder to raise.

But at least. It is important, that there is music whether we like it or not.
