I wonder how many Steven Spielberg and Farmer Kendall have.
Probably more than all of us put together.

I like the fact I have the CD always to hand...mp3's and other media are cool but I'm a sucker for the physical product, esp if it's by my main guys (JW, JH, JG, BB, DE, DN, LH etc).
I keep meaning to have a proper sort-out and tidy up (they are together and in a 'kinda' order but I sometimes let things slide)
I have a 'to hand/new stuff' collection under the stairs and the main collection are safe and warm in the loft (converted).
I trade (and sometimes sell) titles now and again, but only stuff that was a failed gamble or a previous trade that I didn't like either.
I am in a job where I can listen to my music all day (while doin the work) so I'm lucky enough to be gettin paid AND listenin to what I love. Sometimes I talk to my work mates too!

re the post above mine.
I tend to listen to the CD a few times in work and note the tracks that I would call 'keepers' and then I copy the tracks to my 'on the move' players for a more rewarding programme.

I think there's all kinds of listening moves and grooves.
When I'm on the go/in transit, I love being able to play whatever/wherever or even hit random and let it be lucky dip.
If I'm having a (rare) quiet night in on my own, I will settle down and listen to an album in my older LP style days, from start to finish.
There can be MORE than one!

I do think that some soundtracks are just SO good that they need to be listened to in one sitting like we would have done in the old vinyl days.
"Some"? I listen to ALL my albums -- film music or otherwise -- from start to finish, in one sitting, unless there are external factors forcing me to quit early. Which is why album arrangement has always been so important to me.
Why would you limit yourself like that? If I would only listen to music when I can listen to an entire album from start to finish, I would barely get the chance to actually listen to music.
Besides, sometimes I want to hear a specific song/cue and don't want to listen to an entire album of a certain artist/composer. And sometimes I'm the mood for certain type of tracks, say kick ass Goldsmith action cues, so I'll listen to my fave action tracks from Goldsmith and will skip the quieter tracks of the score.
And with pop/rock music there are plenty of albums I don't like every song on, so I'm not gonna waste my time listening to tracks I don't like.
But I also enjoy sitting down, put on a score album and listen to it from start to finish.
So many ways to enjoy music, so I really can't imagine I'd limit myself to one kind

Oh yes, I have that problem too, of course. But I don't consider it a real problem.
In a way I think we're almost made to feel guilty about having so many soundtracks that we'll never listen to them all again, but maybe the guilt creeps in because it's a bit geeky seen from outside. Not from inside - I love my soundtracks, but other people will say, "Why have you got all this shit?"
But it's funny how that doesn't happen with collections of classical music, jazz, pop, rock. In those cases those who own thousands of LPs/ CDs are deemed "authorities" on the subject. No stigma there, but they won't be able to listen to their whole collection again either. And they won't be chucking anything out either.
Has anyone got a great library filled with thousands of books? I have, but I don't think I've even read them all, and of the ones I have read, I don't think I've read many more than once. But it's seen as a kind of sacrilege to get rid of books. No, I'm not throwing them away either. I'm not even giving them away. I'll just keep 'em all.
Films? Oh yes, the DVD Collection. Thousands of great films, and quite a lot of poor ones. I won't even get round to watching the best many more times before my number's up. Sell them? No, just have them, knowing that they're there.
I have many more soundtracks than I can listen to, and I'm lovin' it!
