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?

I'm currently at 1350, give or take. I could probably stand reducing it to an even thousand, but the collection keeps growing due to me continually exploring new music.

Nearly double what I have. How many would you say you listen to regularly (or semi-regularly)? I'm noticing I get so much enjoyment out of a certain 10-20 albums that I'm finding it hard to justify the entire collection.

It varies with mood and season. I do have periods when I recycle a couple of albums over and over again, but most days I tend to put the whole collection on shuffle and do deep dives into certain artists or genres along the way.

I'm a seasonal listener too. I turn to very different stuff in winter than in summer, etc.

I have a lot of stuff I haven't listened to yet, so shuffle doesn't suit me so much at the moment. But I might move a lot of those out and introduce them more gradually next time instead.
