My music collection

[Ol' Dirty]

My freinds, I have a confession to make. My music collection has only ten or twelve CD's in it. :blush: This leaves me wondering this: how many more CD's should I get to make my collection "complete"?

[FULL METAL JACKET]

I have over 100 cd's and I regret it. I could of wasted that money on something else. Don't get any more cd's. Download them all.

[which doctor]

I rarely buy CD's anymore. If I do buy them they are usually obscure bands.
I download almost all my music.

[loveme4whoiam]

I have *counts* twelve CDs, including Billy Piper, Avril Lavigne, and *proud of this one* Frank Sinatra.

Although having said that, I have almost 3000 songs on my playlist. Downloading music is the only way to go.

[Ian]

I have about 50 cds, 50 records (or about 150 if I count these shitty ones I got, anyone wanna buy lots of elton john or air supply?). 10 cds is fine, why waste money anyway

[LoneRed]

the question shouldnt be how many more cds should i get, but instead, recomend some music or something, just go get(buy or download) you like and upload that, so you dont gotta post threads like this again. dont worry you shouldnt be embarrased, its just not a lot of work, nothing to make fun of

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I have 445 CDs, LPs, and singles
I like them a lot

[Hegemonicretribution]

I have never counted, well over 200 at least. With tapes included probably about 300-350 albums at least.

I generally buy second hand now, or in sales only. It is rare that I buy a new album except in exceptional circumstances.

[which doctor]

I am currently downloading about a gig of Morrissey. I love it!

[Commie Rat]

My Cd collection (which hasnt been added since i bought Bones brigade ages ago)
consists of werid al, linkin park, the living end, daft punk, goldfinger and some other shit

[BillHicks]

I'm up over 200 CDs easily, although a grand total of 10 or 12 of them have a release date after 1998.

Nobody seems to be making much good metal anymore without resorting to incoherant growling and screaming.

The last two albums I bought:
Nightwish - Once
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys

[vox_populi]

I have like 500 CDs, LPs and Tapes...plus 40 gig mp3 on the computer...I inhereted almost all CDs, LPs and Tapes...I only download music nowadays

But to answer your question:

My freinds, I have a confession to make. My music collection has only ten or twelve CD's in it. blush.gif This leaves me wondering this: how many more CD's should I get to make my collection "complete"?

I would say that a record collection is "complete" when you feel that you don't have to buy any more records...that you have all the records you want...you know, when you can't think of a previously released record that you want and you haven't got...but I always find new bands, artists and genres...and i know that my record collection NEVER will be complete

[Ol' Dirty]

Okay, cool. What download service should I use?

[redchrisfalling]

I'm hovering around 300 CD's and love everyone of them. You can never be complete though. I've only colected for 13-14 mounths and don't regret anything. I never download i think it's bullshit to rip off the artists like that (plus i work in a CD store)

Download a file called uTorrent. Then search for files using http://torrentz.com/ . When you have found something you like, download the small Torrent file. Use uTorrent and open the torrent file. Then download the whole file. It's really the best way to do it. When you have finished downloading all of it "seed" the file so other people can download the file.

Good luck!

[Punk Rocker]

50 dude, because that's how many I have.

[Iroquois Xavier]

I have 200 cds, 300 dvds, 45 games (ps2) 110 ps1 games and you know what?...I NEVER PAID A SINGLE PENNY FOR ANY OF THEM! HAHA! :lol:

p.s. i know the thread is about music collections but im just showing off!

[Black Dagger]

Another alternative to buying cd's is to buy an external hard-drive from e-bay (you can get one with 320 GB's for 250 dollars australian)- and just rip all your friend's, families, anyone you can get a hold of, cd's. Combining this with downloading and you can gather A LOT of music fairly cheaply and also have a place to store it all!

[vox_populi]

Here's another torrent site. One of my favourites.
The Pirate Bay (http://www.thepiratebay.org)

[chimx]

soulseek is the only thing you need for mp3s.

[atlanticche]

when it comes to downloading or buying, for me its all about the cases, when it comes to nin, black sabbath, nick cave, some of them come in some really fucking cool kick ass cases, and if you dont get the case for those albums its just like why fucking bother

Your CD collection will never be complete. Believe me - once you start buying you will not be able to stop.
On the whole I download more than I buy (I use Limewire for individual tracks and Bitcomet for torrents), but at the moment I seem to be buying more - I am actually buying stuff I have downloaded, which is starting to get a little expensive... <_<

[Invader Zim]

I have around 100 CD&#39;s.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

i had bit torrent, but I had no fcking clue how to use it
anyone wanna fill me in on that?

Yeah someone let me know about bit torrents. I have like 100 film links just waiting to be downloaded.

[atlanticche]

ok here we go,
well for bittorrent downloads, you need bittorrent,
just search on google and you&#39;ll find it,
then you need a website to find them like:
http://www.torrentreactor.net/
http://www.mesi-torrent.com/
http://thepiratebay.org/
theres also a shit load for anime

[h&s]

Yeah, you download your torrent software, then search on the internet for a torrent of what you want. Once you find what you want you &#39;open with&#39; the torrent software.
A box should come with the contents of the torrent, and you just tick what you want to download.
Its deceptively simple, but its best to get someone to show you how.

[FatFreeMilk]

*ahem*

What is, how you say, bit torrent?

your much better at explaining things than me


i should employ someone like you as a side kick, so every time i say something you say what i mean

[bolshevik butcher]

I have about 60, and a loada other stuff I downloaded.

[Janus]

Why&#39;s that embarrasing? A lot of people burn or download their music these days. I only own a few CDs myself.

I offer my services for a small fee.. ;)
Nah, I&#39;m usually really bad at explaining things unless I have time to think, I could probably do with a side-kick too.

[atlanticche]

okay you can get a side kick and they will probably need a side kick and then they would prob need a sidekick etc etc etc....

if we end up with twenty people and someone at the end speaking in latvian im blaming you

[The Grey Blur]

Dr Seuss had a book about that, all these cats holding each other&#39;s tails off the ground

i dearly hope there will be no tail holding, but if so it happens after the latvian, and they have to be cats

[DISTURBEDrbl911]

Personally, I have like 100 or 150 CDs and also over a 100 downloaded songs, but I also steal my dad&#39;s music collection of over 250 CDs, 200 Tapes, and nearly 1000 Records.

[Invader Zim]

The best site in the world for increasing the size of your music collection: -

http://music.download.com/

[Rollo]

I have 2000 songs all but one album which I was given free have been pirated from either phazeddl or projectw.

[drain.you]

I only have about 30cds and loads of copies. most my music is stored elsewhere...

[skooma]

i have about 500 proabably now, but only because i inherited my all my older brothers music...hahaha

i&#39;ve probably not listened to half of them even though they&#39;re mine now.

[Zero]

I have about 10 cds that I bought... but that was mainly before I started using the Internet regularly. I have about 90 gigs of music downloaded, plus another 50 or so on backup CDs.

Though when my new motherboard comes in the mail I hope to setup a SuSE or Gentoo file server and index my music on it. Maybe later I&#39;ll get one of those nifty 7.1 surround sound systems 2nd hand and set up my room ^_^. The future sounds beutiful.

[SoupIs Good Food]

I have 30 cds. Almost all of my music is downloaded though. I also have around 60 records. Vinyl kicks ass.

[Rollo]

Vinyl does kick ass. I broke my table when we were moving tho.

You lucky fucking bastard&#33;

Morrissey rules, what&#39;s your favourite record?

BTW, everyone should buy "Spiritualized"-ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space". It is wicked&#33;

[Invader Zim]

Morrisseys solo work is vastly inferior to his material with the Smiths.

[Gura]

Is it possibly to transfer records to a computer so the songs on them can be burned onto CDs?

It&#39;s not bullshit at all. Many artists make barely any money off CD sales anyway. If anything, you have invested &#036;3000 or more into corrupt corporations.

I download and buy CDs. If I really like the band and want to support it, I might buy the CD. Most CDs I buy, however, are obscure bands I have difficulty downloading. However, I do buy CDs I really like so I have them on hand. Downloading is still the greatest. A music library at my fingertips - it&#39;s amazing.

[Donnie]

I have about 100 cd&#39;s.

The latest albums I got were:

Madball - Legacy
Bring Me The Horizon - This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Meant For - EP
Bury Your Dead - Beauty & The Breakdown
TLC - Now And Forever: The Hits (What can I say, I&#39;m down for the "core")


It&#39;s not bullshit at all. Many artists make barely any money off CD sales anyway. If anything, you have invested &#036;3000 or more into corrupt corporations.
This is very true, if the the artist doesn&#39;t make the sales figures back from what the record label lent them to make the album they have to go on tour for fucking ages until they pay it back. Yes, of course bands want to go on tour to play their songs to their fans but sometimes bands can be on tour for up to a year and half when there pretty exhausted from all that travelling.
Also &#39;Moby&#39; the DJ artist admited in NME that bands get more advertisement from illegal downloading.
But you always get the tight fisted bands like "Metallica" who like to go and sue there fans for downloading there music, talk about sucking up to "The Man". Arses.

[southernmissfan]

I recommend to all of you get a Torrent client (I use UTorrent). It may be hard at first, but once you get used to it, it&#39;s the only way to go. With most download programs you simply download songs, but with Torrent you get entire albums and discographies. mininova.org is a good torrent site to use once you have a client.

I don&#39;t buy CDs anymore cos I am part of a music library so I can just check Cds out, rip them onto my computer and then just check them back in.
