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?

Still playing, but definitely not as much as I thought I would. Tough (and well paying) day job means I can afford music and instruments without much of a thought, so I play mostly for stress relief these days: holiday concerts, musical pits, occasional jam session.

I know musicians who did well for a while but just couldn't make the anti-social hours that goes with it work for them. Best of luck with it.

Agreed, I'm getting too old to keep those hours.

And on the music collection, I say keep what makes you happy but don't let it get overwhelming. I'm content to manage a couple servers in my basement, but it's not for everyone. What ever, enjoy the music!
