What does your music collection lool like ? - SteveO - 08-12-2011
There are many music media sources available to us today. Do you try to find an album that you like all or most of the tracks on, strip music off of albums for your favorite songs or compile mp3 singles ?
I tend to buy albums where I like most of the songs but occasionally I will grab the more popular tracks to compile a playlist of sorts.

I think I may have mentioned this to you before SteveO, but at my house we have reached the stage of collecting entire catalogs from bands/musicians. Currently trying to add the odds and ends lacking in the collection from Iron Maiden, like their "Women In Uniform" EP. Just added "Maiden Japan" a little while back.
While we try and get the actual CD copy of a given album, we have plenty of digital albums on our 1.5T hard drives, covering over 800 artists, and over 3,000 albums.

Albums only, here, even on my i-Pod.
We have a Listen List that we both put albums on that we fancy hearing, then take turns to pick from the list. I tend to contribute a good helping of albums that I either don't know very well, or that I haven't liked before in hope of finding that tastes have changed enough to like them more.

A mess - it's all over the house, boxes, cupboards, purpose-built shelving, coverted bookcases. And then there's the ones I can't even find.....must actually do a count of all the stuff one day. Probably have a nervous breakdown when I realise how much I've spent to date. Poverty looms large. But to answer your question, I don't compile playlists out of extracts or bits and pieces. I like whole albums because they are sometimes created with a logical sequence that is to be followed. There are valleys and peaks to be negotiated. To me that's the whole purpose of music. Too many upbeat tracks in a row leave me bored.

I wouldnt know...mines all on my ipod. I used to have heaps of discs...but that was when the kids were younger...and they thought they'd make good frisbees
have given up trying to buy more discs to play normally. Everytime CH and I are together and I pick up a disc...its "Ive already got that one"...grrr.....ONE DAY I shall find one he doesnt have!

I've got some vinyl, some cassettes many CD's and lots of MPS's. The vinyl is on the shelf the cassettes are scattered in boxes and the CD cases have been moved to boxes while the actual disc are in a flip through organizers. I burn any albums I down load and put them in my organizers but mostly I listen to my iPhone as my iPod was stolen last week

I have a small and growing collection of vinyl, but most everything I have is digital. But it's always organized in albums... I think that in our world of innumerable singles the notion of a good 'album' is lost. All the songs in a good album should support each other, so I like to listen to albums at a time. Unfortunately there are few bands that are really good with that xD. I think Bombay Bicycle Club is the best for having albums where all the songs agree to the mood.

Strictly albums for me also
Vinyl, cd's
Tried the mp3 thing for awhile
Doesn't work for me
Has sat idle for over a year now
Need that album cover and liner notes to look at
Vinyl is better, but cd works, as long as I can read it.
Would probably use the mp3 if I ever went anywhere
Leave the homefront maybe twice a month.
Unless Horse flys in to unite for another HorseHead world tour

Vinyl is so romantic. There's definitely something more to hearing the needle work it's way through the grooves of a record than hearing your computer try to reproduce it.
