most of my music is on CD's, probably 2,500 or so...LP's are probably in the 200-300 range...(most of which were purchased in my pre-CD high school days, many of which were lent out, never ot be recovered)...I also have a few boxes of cassette tapes, which I never listen to...

~2500 CDs, ~100 LPs/7"
Looking to sell +300 CDs soon, likely, prior to a move.

While I could easily purge 300-400 CDs, I still have the constant feeling that I've scarcely heard anything---which, relatively speaking, is quite true. Still, while bad for the bank account, it means my primary passion/addiction/source-of-faith-in-humanity will never get boring.

not just an addiction
I have over 1000 Lps/12"s and another 50 7's. Add to that well over 1500 cds, and thats a lot of music.
After my last move, i reexamined how i buy records. Ever since i began buying music, i would constantly buy things on whims, or things i kind of liked at bargain prices. especially at thrift stores and garage sales. but after moving them all, i changed my mind. i dont need every herb alpert album on vinyl. i shouldnt be buying vinyl becuase im interested in a group necessarily (12's excluded). Im about to start a process of getting rid of about 300 LPs soon, as I am in a minimization mode for this spring.
also, my cd collection exploded when i started djing weddings and corporate events 3 years ago. then, i had a need for every type of music, and began burning all my clients' cds. never before would i have assumed id own The Bee-Gees Greates Hits.

i'm at about 3,000 LP's and 12"s and i've come to the same conclusion. Sadly, whenever i try to thin out the herd, i get very sentimental or paranoid ("what if i NEED that?") so lately the only thing i sell are expensive records i never play... also, there are times where i score collections of stuff i wasn't into at the time (old country and acid house, to think of a few examples) and then a few years later, start to really like it, so i'm really gun shy about dumping stuff unless i'm POSITIVE i'll never have a use for it, sampling, listening, or otherwise...

At the moment I have 845 12"/LP's (I keep them all in a database) of which I want to get rid of about 150, and 2 shoeboxes of CD's (around 40).
