    Since some folks here are insiders and probably get a number of freebies, I'd like to restrict this poll to actual purchases.

    **Edit** I don't know if I can edit the title of the poll or not, but I'd like to change this to either CD or vinyl.

    I didn't purchase too many CD's, perhaps 30 or so. But I bought about 100 new vinyl albums.

    if you were to ask "how much vinyl did you purcahse?" my answer would have been in the hundreds...

    I bought 3 or 4 maybe. I did buy over 100 LPs though! CDs have to get better sounding (ie better mastering) for me to buy more than a few a year. With more and more new titles coming out on LP, I dont see my aluminum CD buying increasing anytime soon.

    However, the new Audio Fidelity 24K Gold stuff that Steve is going to be doing I WILL be getting.

    Probably about 40-50, split evenly between new releases and reissues.

    At least 100. I bought at least 100 SACDs alone this year.

    I buy mostly used CDs, and probably only bought about 50-60. I bought hundreds of vinyl albums, though.

    No LPs - lots of SACDs, some CDs. Probably around 250.

    Between DCC gold, MOFI, SACD, old silver "flat transfers", newer "good masterings" by forum favorites and new Audio Fidelity, there was plenty left to buy for this year, next year and many more! And that's not even getting into vinyl.

    I'm sure over 100. I still have a pretty good stack of unlistened right now.

    De facto I buy vinyl only. Bad truth is they are costly a lot more than cd you have to be quick to get them before them sold out.
    When I put them on turntable they're great.

    I just don't know. I'd guess anywhere from 300-500.

    New or used? Do (legal, paid) downloads count?

    Anyway, easily over 100 CDs. Probably several hundred.

    I bought a total of about 20 albums this year, and most of them were Columbia House or half.com cheapies. I did buy two new LPs though - Smile and Real Gone. This is a record low for me, but unemployment and medical concerns do have a way of changing your priorities. It's amazing what you find in your collection when you stop buying new stuff.

    A couple of stacks of CDs and countless piles of vinyl. I avoid counting. :D

    Over 75 cd's. Only about 10 recently recorded issues. Most were catchups on things I'd missed over the years or to replace long-gone vinyl, or new compilations of the old favorites.

    I promise to cut back next year :)
