Do you think you have a lot of music?

[Wasch_24]

Check out Rachel's Dad's collection!

Approximately 10,000 CDs!

Is there anything that he DOESN'T have?

 

[Wasch_24]

It's hard to tell.

It is possible though. He has a lot of very obscure stuff.

 

[caudio51]

Wow, how does he find/keep track of them?

 

[Wasch_24]

Funny you should ask.

They are all in alphebetical order.

As he listens to them he listens to one CD per "section" at a time and leaves the case pulled out about a quarter inch to keep his place in each section. A section is one horizontal strip between the wood dividers of the shelving units.

Little Anderson had one hell of a time walking around pushing all the place holders that he could reach back in! :rofl:

 

[AZsteelman]

I've never seen anything like that! Damn...

 

[Greg]

Good Gawd!

 

[Wasch_24]

We were talking about it tonight and he may very well have the world's largest personal collection.

He could be a radio station.

Great! My wife wants a copy of the Ronco Christmas Record from when she was little. Could your dad-in-law burn me a copy, cause if anyone has a copy it would be him. That's a shit-load-o-music there bro.

Geez, that's some music right there. Has he ever thought about backing them up digitally? Probably not...

 

[Electric Sheep]

Holy cow, that's absolutely incredible...I have NEVER seen or even heard of anyone having a collection anywhere near that large!

So out of curiosity, what TYPES of music does he listen to?

We mentioned it to him but 1)He does not have a computer and 2)It would take months to turn them all into MP3s.

Anything and everything...litterally.

 

[tedski]

I'll bet he's been a BMG member for years ...

And to think ... you could have almost all of those on an 80G Ipod.

 

[Wasch_24]

Nope. He buys them all second hand at Flea Markets and record shops.

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

One heck of a lot of CD's there!!!

 

[cvm4]

Ahhh, it would take months to convert digitally

 

[waterboy]

Hmmmm, Lessee:
10,000 cd's @ 1hr ea = 10,000hrs
10,000 hrs / 24 = 416 days of nonstop music!
Dayum! Thats alot of music!:music:

 

[jrohrer]

[Wasch_24]

Pretty sure he is talking about play time.
