My vinyl LP spans from the 60's (mostly reissues, but some originals) through the early 2000's.<br /><br />I'm hoping that the new vinyl price will come down, but I'm not holding my breath.G. B.

I have a few hundred as well (including some duplicates; great idea to catalogue them). My vinyl collection spans the '60s to the '90s and there are 100s of cassettes too. None of them are organized properly, but one of these days....Incredible what new vinyl is selling for. Hopefully, the price will come down, eventually. Good luck with your project!Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-36070420286498508602016-09-04T07:40:53.392-04:002016-09-04T07:40:53.392-04:00I am at that!

Alas, I have an issue with my turntable that I haven't been able to find the time to get fixed. It's a simple fix, but I lack the manual dexterity to do it.<br /><br />In re: to the A-Z project, it will probably be something that I'll be working on right up through spring, in between bouts of writing as well. I do have a mental outline that I want to apply to the project, but things have to fall in a certain way for me to make it happen.G. B.

I only buy new if I'm looking to stock up on an artist from days of olde, or if I'm looking for a particular song (hence I buy the entire c.d.).<br /><br />That's a cool way to keep your lists handy. I'll probably something similar to that when I go shopping again.G. B.

I too have a large collection of CDs, LPs, and cassettes. Mostly I don't listen to any of them anymore so rarely do I buy any new additions to my collection. I've often considered cataloging my collection in some way or at least organizing them on my shelves in some order. But as you indicate it would be a huge undertaking. <br /><br />I look forward to the A to Z project. It's something I'll be reading and comparing to my own collection.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-57626993218703561592016-09-02T16:40:59.201-04:002016-09-02T16:40:59.201-04:00I finally entered all my books into a database, af...I finally entered all my books into a database, after having bought duplicates twice! (Fortunately I shop at cheap used bookstores so that I didn't waste more than $10 all told.) Also fortunately, the website GoodReads.com provides a ready-made way to store my book lists, which is also easily accessible from my phone, for those times when I find myself in a bookstore with a paperback in hand.<br />Enjoy your further musical explorations! You might need one or two extra pairs of ears to listen to all those CDs. ;-)Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-7551509974781765812016-09-01T18:31:02.966-04:002016-09-01T18:31:02.966-04:00I usually use the radio (college exclusively for m...I usually use the radio (college exclusively for music) as a feeder for searching out c.d.'s. The library often gets used as a feeder as well. I pick up most c.d.'s strictly on the basis of what the genre is. Sometimes it's someone whom I might've heard of back in the day and didn't like that type of music then, but willing to take a crack at it now.G. B.

I've never counted my CDs but I suspect I must have at least 400. I keep them in a big chest of drawers, arranged by genre. And if things aren't messy, arranged alphabetically within each genre by artist's, band's or composer's surname. Hmmm, I think I WILL count them some day when I have nothing better to do. My curiosity is piqued.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-37111668987928561572016-08-31T13:00:06.339-04:002016-08-31T13:00:06.339-04:00Since you are constantly picking up new CD's, ...Since you are constantly picking up new CD's, makes sense to make a list. You only need one of each.<br />Let me know when you hit 1000. That's about how many we have. And it won't grow very fast since most album purchases I make through iTunes now. (Except for special bands where I have to have the inside goodies.)<br />And that is insane how much new vinyl goes for.Alex J.
