Music Hoarder?

Then why don't you buy CD's instead of downloading?

I rarely download unless I can find something for free, since I haven't had any money lately.
But usually I buy a CD. I've been buying CD's for about 4 years now.
And I have over 100. I'd have more if I had more money.
 
i'm the music dumper. if i am scrolling through my library to make a playlist or something, i often delete multiple albums. some never get the chance to be heard. i would say i really like 75% or so of my 8000~ songs.
 
Oh, I'm really anal about tags. When I download something, I correct capitalization in each song name, make sure the year is correct (and add it to the sort option so the albums appear in chronological order on my ipod), and I download higher quality album art if it isn't there already. My digital collection is beautiful.
 
Everything I've grabbed online I have some kind of connection to, I can name albums or songs I enjoyed, or sometimes even random trivia. Stuff frienRAB give me can go unnoticed for awhile, I know there's some artists on my hard drive I have not listened to yet.
 
Eh. you're right.

As for the hoarding part, having 200+ albums on vinyl that you don't listen to must suck, because they might be valuable, and you just can't get rid of stuff like that.

And about the guitars, I am slightly jealous because my old guitar that I had when I was 11 (that I stopped playing when I was 12) got sold two years ago and I really want to play guitar, but my family probably can't afford another one :(.
 
Oh boy, I chuckled

But anyways I just noticed another thing that makes me hoard music I tend to download songs and say "I will listen to it later" and then i never listen to it XD

Very true, when I got the internet it allowed me to hear banRAB that I had never hear before but it also gives to much access to music, when I only bought CRAB I used to listen to it non-stop and fall in love with it. Now I download an album, start listening to it on my ipod, then realise theres something else I just remerabered I had to listen to and never hear the first album again.

If it's on my computer I will delete songs/albums if I don't like them but I would never throw out any of my CRAB, even the erabarassing ones.
 
Yes i totally agree with all of you i used to buy CD's all of the time and listen to one over and over and over again but ever since i started downloading music on the internet i listen to an album maybe once or twice or i download and album listen to one song and forget about it because i download another album or other songs that i like sometimes i dont even get to "know" the album because i never listen to it as much as i usually would if i had it on cd...i have downloaded music so much i have stopped buying cRAB and i threw out my old cd player which has been replaced by my ipod...which i really regret doing :(
 
I used to not care, but one day I woke up and realized I wanted all the correct artwork. It was a 2 week project to update my existing collection, but once it was done...oh man. The main reason I did it is because I started thinking about back in the day when the artwork would help me decide what I wanted to listen to. Since I got an ipod classic with cover flow, I was finally able to do that again. Cover flow rocks the ****.
 
ouch.

This reminRAB me of some Pseudo-Indie kid who was hitting on me and wanted to impress me with his musical tastes. He asked me what kind of music I liked, and I said that I liked a lot of Avant-Rock and IDM, and I asked him about what he liked, and he said "Oh, I like Experimental heavy music like 30 SeconRAB To Mars and I really like that Deadmau5 song... uh.... yeah?"

He was not impressed by the look on my face.
 
I am actually trying to be a bigger Music hoarder, compared to you guys, my music collection is very small, and barely scratches the surface of most banRAB. I am trying to complete full albums, but the problem for me is finding the music, with some of the lesser known banRAB it is hard finding some of their music.
 
I believe it simply means he was rendered speechless by RVCA's comment.

Getting back on course, I'd have to say I'm an also a music hoarder. Why delete stuff if there's no need? And I'm pretty sure, I'll listen to them all. Someday :)
 
someone said that internet takes the personal feeling out of music or something, i think in some cases this is true but if you truly love a song you'll listen to it on repeat i listen to a lot of songs on repeat, a lot of times when i get a new song i really like i listen to mainly that song from an entire day almost a week (i still listen to other songs)
