    I feel you on that. Ripping vinyl is the biggest pain in the ass when you have several hundred to go through.
    I remember when I started my first rips, I thought it was lots of fun.......yeah, that wore off quickly.

    My collection is mostly 12 inches but I've been known to give a 7 inch performance on occasion.

    I wish Traktor or one of these music library programs (mixed in key,Beatport pro, beatunes, etc) would have de-warp function that would straighten out wandering BPMs on warped records. You can do it in Ableton but it really adds ten steps to the whole process.
    Instead, I usually end up throwing a billion beatgrid markers on it in Traktor.

    Close to 10,000 pieces of vinyl.

    21,685 songs on my first computer (21" iMac) I used for DJ'ing. I retired that computer earlier this year and bought a new Mac Book Pro.

    8127 songs on my MBP. I imported a select number of songs from my old computer and I am just adding new music as I go along. I am a mobile DJ, so I need to have a large selection. I also backed up my old collection and carry it with me on an external hard drive in case I need to get a song. All of my music is legally purchased.

    I am at interesting point right now to answer this question. I've had a bit of a break from mixing (sometimes those are good ) and just recently came back with a redefined focus on what I wanna play and how I approach my track purchasing (for one, it's strictly purchasing in attempt to keep collection lean).

    After buying the cream of the crop of the backlog and couple more shopping sprees afterwards for newly loved tracks I am sitting at 87 tracks.

    My current goal is to focus on doing semi-regular podcasting (Mixcloud being the only platform for now), so I really wanna know my tracks in and out and I usually let my Beatport shopping cart sit idle for a while before I know for sure I am buying a track.

    Never counted my vinyl - but only a couple of hundred (mostly breakbeat and hip-hop).

    Digital is about 70Gb (all .MP3) and is about 8,000 tracks.

    That sounds ridiculous. (Eight THOUSAND tracks?). I need to trim that down...

    I have about 800 records, 500 cds, and 60,000 tracks in Traktor, but I have music of every genre from the 50s to today and there has to be 1000+ duplicates

    Around 5k vinyl (my preferred medium - was many more, but sold off around half), just under 7k (148Gb) digital tracks, some dupes, mix of wav (pref) and mp3.
