More specifically, what percentage of the soundtracks in your collection do you get to play in any given year, on average? Most of you probably don't keep track, and neither do I, but it's more a
matter of curiosity on my part than an intelligent question. A couple of months ago I tried to play all the soundtracks I had listed for each month, starting in March and going through June. That's
an average of about 350 per month. I never finished all of them in any of those months, and I found that such an effort was taking almost all of my free waking hours to do so, leaving very little
time if any for other pursuits. I pretty much gave up the practice after June. Now, I just play what I can when I can, without interfering with other activities. Shatner was right when he said 'Get a Life!".

I have no idea, but I think it must be a pitifully small amount. The trouble is I only play music when I am able to give it due attention and really listen to it. Noise is everywhere, and I sometimes feel myself going slightly mentally unbalanced at the songs in the supermarket, the continual TV blaring in the bar, the video games blasting away around the dinner table at the family reunions... but that is a rabbit, a rabbit I have grumped on about many times here in the past.
So silence is golden after all that schidt. Silence, or the sounds of nature. After that, when I have time, I'll listen (LISTEN) to music on the radio if it's good enough to warrant my attention. Then there are my film score CDs. I honestly think that I hear/listen/put on about two per week, which means that in my relatively paltry collection there are things I haven't heard for ten years, and many, many (great things too) which I will never hear again before I die.

good ol' silence. There's nothing like it.
Agreed.

I set up a playlist that serves up everything I haven’t listened to in the last whatever (I think I have it set to a year). I spin it now and again. Sometimes I say “Oh, wow, I forgot about that!” Sometimes I remember why I haven’t played it in the last year.
