How many albums do you own? And how small could you go if you had to reduce it? (lemmy.world)

I have 700 albums representing everything I've enjoyed since childhood as well as new stuff I've yet to explore. They're all digital files. Going by what I actually play, I think I could easily cut this in half. How about you?

Sounds like you've got something for every occasion there! I don't know how you managed to listen to most of the 2TB collection - that's impressive! I have a total of 256GB of music - mostly FLAC - and I still haven't listened to most of it yet.

There’s a dozen or so cassettes shoved in a closet of local bands I can’t replace, so they got digitized.

Ah, this reminds me of the cassettes I had of a local band I absolutely loved. I let them go when I had other stuff going on in life and I regret it so much to this day. I must try and track those guys down and see if they still have copies.

I'm a music fiend. If there's nothing preventing it, I would have music going 24/7. There's times I do, though not as much as I used to.

To answer the original question, I have about 1500 CDs, 200 records. If required, maybe I could whittle it down to 250. It would be painful though.

And actually that doesn't take into account a lot of my own local music collection. A lot of digital stuff, a mail bin full of CDs and another full of cassettes.

I love local music and I love hearing stuff from short lived bands. So I'd love to hear anything you could share as far as names with locations.

The local band I'm thinking of was called Sprog, from Galway, Ireland. They were so, so good. I had two of their cassettes: Scratch 'n' Stiff, and Reg Holdsworth, but they seem to be unobtanium now https://www.irishrock.org/irodb/bands/motivesprog.html
