What have you got?

Much like the thread in the hifi forum, but this time for the music...

My collection

 

I've only got my CDs catalogued so far (for insurance, got the DVDs/LPs/tapes to go) but I'd not be posting it on the net. I think all ZG users are cosha (sp?) but all the same - it'd be like a "burgle me" advert wouldn't it?

I've got some rare stuff so there's no way I'd post that on here Hifi is replaceable but music isn't - a lot of the time.

 

Same as with Dom, it's all catalogued for insurance purposes but that's as far as it goes. A good 800 or more items though, including CDs, DVDs, LPs... I've not bothered counting up all the tapes copied from the library down the years... many of them are probably knackered anyway. Must dig them out and see what there is.

 

A very incomplete list, several thousand CDs and LPs to go:

What an infernal din

Dom,

it's "kosher" and originally means food that's prepared according to the rules of Jewish religion.

 

yeah, I've about 500 cds - I should catalogue them really, as I do have a lot of stuff that you simply cannot buy now, mainly indie stuff like...
some tw*t tried to break into my old flat in april, they kicked down my back door, the door was over an inch think and was in half! they must have got disturbed as nothing was even touched *phew* I moved out within 2 days with my girlfriend...

 

BLOODY HELL! You were lucky there - think the same happened when they broke into my student gaff - all that was nicked was my telly, my mate's ghettoblaster (minus the DEDICATED speakers - sellability = NIL!) and the remote for my mate's VHS. Tw*ts...

Good thing nothing was nicked dude

Cheers for "kosher" spelling there btw!

 

I've stickied the thread - my music collection is in my sig but here's the link anyway:

That's everything except my classical stuff and film soundtracks which I've yet to catalogue.

Only just seen this thread - Most of my collection catalogued..

grr need to get php script for holding album info sorted soon.

hmm you collection has gone up a bit since i last looked Isaac.

 

Is there any free software that will allow me to easily just select the records I own rather than type everything one in? I have more than 200 records and simply don't have time to type every one in.

 

Well it's not free but it's cheap. I use Music Collector and for the results you can see my collection here. The new version does alot of the inputting for you

 

thanks for the link tom i've been thinking about doing something like for a while now.

what kind of success/hit rate does it return on album matches?

cheers, pk

 

99.9% of CDs.

The only ones I have problems with are magazine CDs which usually take a day or two to get added to CDDB and my father's LPs from 50-60s which are out of print and therefore haven't been catalogued

 

thanks again, i'll download a copy tonight and get playing!

 

Hi

I have downloaded Music Collector. Quite pleased with it so far. I have only done some cds, no vinyl yet. It has found most of the ones I have tried with it.

I have put in around 50 cds so far. Just another 6000+ to go.

Isaac.

Based on your collection you have a couple of glaring omissions:

Namely:

Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and other love songs.


These should be added to your collection forthwith.

 

every Zep record,plus nearly everything from 1977 to 1982 british rock scene

 

I downloaded the trial version and was disappointed when it fell at the first hurdle - it simply doesn't recognise many of my old Bach cantata CDs (no longer extant). So, that's the end of that; I'll just rely on what fading memory I have.

 

not quite everything, but most of it... clicky clicky

[edit] just updated, ripped most of my CDs today (you can tell which ones i've *cough* "misplaced" the CDs for *cough*
