good point, there should be more crap among 5000 cds than among 50, but someone who got only a limited music collection is not a serious music lover and maybe all his cds are crap. It can be also said that if you only buy the greatest albums by the big names of the style that you know very well, you can't make many mistakes. If you want to discover new things you take chances and sometimes you are dissatisfied but you discover great things, gather more knowledge and in the end cut the crap to the minimum. And by the way, what is crap for someone is very good for another one: what would you call crap, Steve Vai or Derek Bailey, Madonna or Varese? This discussion about numbers is becoming a little bit ridiculous. I only mentioned the number of cds of my friend to show that in some cases, ripping a collection could be a very long and tedious process, and with the risk of losing it with hdds failures even with backups and that maybe it was not worth it, and certainly it has to be thought of before buying the transporter just to replace a drive. My friend is not proud about his collection, he only bought the records because he loves music and has a good salary and prefers to put his money in music, he also likes to share and i have discovered many artists through him.
