Dr. JacobyParticipantCOLLECTION SIZE:
No idea. About 6,000 LPs, probably 3,000 CDS, losts of digital files.
I don’t file soundtracks together, so I have no idea what percentage are soundtracks (or soundtrack related).
ACQUISITION HABITS:
I’ve more or less stopped. These days, I’m more likely to buy lossless downloads from Qobuz. I do take advantage of sales by the specialty labels, because none of the music I care about ever sells out anymore, so I can wait for something to go on sale.
LISTENING HABITS:
Random, based on mood. In October, I listen to lots of horror soundtracks.

Thor Joachim HagaKeymasterThis was something accidentally brought up by Nick, I think, in the “Cheers!” thread: The ever-amusing idea of posting photos of your physical music collection. Here’s mine (although missing the boxed sets, which are on another shelf). You go next!

Thor Joachim HagaKeymasterOh dear, my shelf is a mess these days. Here are some CDs, books and dvds. The vinyl and more CDs are somewhere else.
Yes, appears some of the shelves have caved in due to weight?
And Nick, that’s cheating! 😀

Hey, it’s really my entire music collection that’s on that physical drive. 🙂
Most of my CD collection is on a shelf in our living room. Some more CDs are boxed away, the LPs are on a shelf in our garage.
Incidentally, I took a snapshot of it this week on Monday (December 15th) morning, because the sun made some crazy circles that looked cool, but puzzled me for a moment. Might as well share it here. Must have been some odd alignment of light, I have not seen before or since.

GerateWohlParticipantWhere can I again upload those images? By the way, @Thor: maybe you can pin a post with an instruction about how to handle images on top of the forum. Otherwise I will ask you a hundred times.

It’s more that I never put the shelves on properly..

Good point. There should be a tutorial for that. I’ll put it in the first post of the “Forum Feedback” thread.

Thor Joachim HagaKeymasterIncidentally, I took a snapshot of it this week on Monday (December 15th) morning, because the sun made some crazy circles that looked cool, but puzzled me for a moment.

Beautiful. Did J.J. Abrams take the photo?

Nick ZwarParticipantHaha, yeah, looks like it. I quickly grabbed for my phone and made a couple of photos, when I made the photo, it was already fading, altogether, it was only there for a minute or two.

Looks different after midnight when I go to bed… certainly more Alien like. 🙂

That’s it. Behind the Ecoutez le cinema box of John Williams are the two Ennio Morricone boxes. But that’s it for film music. On the right hand side of that cupboard is another one with pop and Rock music.

Thor Joachim HagaKeymasterNeat! I’d love to have shelves like that, where I don’t have to dust BEHIND them.

Nick ZwarParticipant
That’s the Jerry Goldsmith part of my shelf… Most of it…
