Building your CD collection....largest in your area....

I don't see why not.  Music is music whatever format it's in.  I'm not sure what Soldier777's intent was with this thread but if you have full albums (not individual songs) in digital-only format it should count.

I havent counted my physical CDs in many years so I have no idea, but I have ripped them all to mp3 and looking at my Library directory I have 14,019 tracks in Christian metal, and 300 tracks Christian Dubstep. However many albums that makes I do not know.

Total CD's is probably less than 100. Total albums is probably around 200. Total Christian is around 180, total hard rock/metal is probably about a dozen.

240 just counted cds. Most of them are christian metal, but I hahve a few non-christian metal plus a few pop christian bamd that I used to be into years ago (some some third day and audio adrenaline). Plus 18 Dvd's of christian metal plus 4 t-shirts (deliverance, bloodgood, stryper and rob rock) plus at around 50 albuns bought on iTunes. I would rather to have cd's, but buying the mp3 is sooo much cheaper than import cds. Plus a couple of stickers, guitar picks and etc.

It reminded me when I entered the store to buy my first petra cd and noticed that there was lots of christian rock amd metal bands. After staring for almost half an hour, I wish I could have all of those mortification, bride, petra and guardian cds. And fortunately I was able to go so far away from my dreams. Cool memories.


Anyway, and I have been waiting for some orders. New Saint, deliverance rerelease, Ted Kirkpatrick kickstarter project...

I have a Petra book, a Michael Sweet book, a Stryper To Hell With the Devil black and white banner 3 feet by 5 feet, buttons of Joshua and Stryper, X-Sinner stickers, Petra and Michael Sweet Shirts and I have 2 Stryper shirts on order and I'm thinking of ordering a Stryper shirt .

Dude, what's the name of Petra's book? Do you have any idea where I could get a physical copy or an e-book?

I think my collection stands at about 500 and something as well. I think about 60% is christian, I'm not sure. I started out with mostly christian albums. I have some hard to find christian rap albums and a couple rare christian metal vinyls (zao - blood and fire, p86 - picket fence, Norma Jean - box set).

I have over 500 cd:s, but it has been a while since I've counted them the last

No idea how many I have but I would say an upwards of several thousand. I started buying CD's in the mid 80's and have kept 90 % of what I bought, rarely trading or selling off. No time to count them all. Lost my cassettes years ago so I have none of those. I think I have around 300 vinyl records too, as my focus lately has been buying and collecting vinyl. I normally only buy CD's now if it is a band I really like (Saint) or if something catches my eye in the $5 bin at Walmart.

As for someone around here who has the most I would have to say Scott Waters. He has tons and TONS of CD's and vinyl.

Just over 28k combined

I probably have over 300-400...but don't get many albums anymore...mainly as i get older it doesn't mean as much to me. When i was younger I would obsessively arrange my cds and count them. Now in my 40s i just don't care that much.....I only get 5 to 10 albums a year these days...at most i guess.....

Twenty-eight thousand?!  Whoa.  Where do you store all that?

More than just one place. 

So glad that I decided to go digital years ago.
It was a labor of love transferring my vinyl and tapes to MP3.
Several hard drives to contain the collection.

Now trying to decide about cloud storage too.

I'd say oldschooldoom, FishingD and Ultimatum probably have the largest collections of us all.

TrogDawn has a very impressive collection too

I recently sold off some of mine, but I have around 1300 cds, and 150 on vinyl.

I have around 1,000 CDs and 200-300 demo cassettes.  The cassettes are about 100% Christian metal demos, but of the CDs, probably around 600 are metal.

Although there are probably quite a few people in my area with more music, I would venture to say that I probably have the largest Christian metal collection in my area.

Especially the Christian metal demos
