Something RandalG said in another thread got me thinking.

If you consider yourself to have a music collection (self-defined); do you have and when did you switch:

78s I thought so but don't know where they are
45s 100 or so
LPs 200 +/-
Cassettes 2000+/- switched to mostly cassette in 1978 but still bought a few LPs up til even 1987. unfortunately almost all my tapes were stolen in 1986
8-tracks 0 had some but all gone
Reel to Reel 0 had a player, sold it
CD 10,000+ switched in 1986
Mini disc, DAT, DigiCart or other early digital storage 10 actually have a few around, never bought players though.
DVD 0 only ones I have are concert dvds never have purchased a strictly audio one
Digital 600GB but I only have a few hundred albums that are hard drive only.

Until I found RDCs David Bowie collection on here a few months ago I hadn't ever downloaded an album that I didn't already own (but was in storage). Now I'm looking for stuff I know I'd never buy (like the entire Bowie catalog) or stuff that will never be in print again. I will grab a new album when it comes out but make a note to go buy it.
