Think you have a big music collection?

Try this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140206309501#description

 

Reminds me of the seller a year or three ago that was selling a complete set of all souvenir programs from all the Indy 500's - in mint shape.
I never thought I'd have a chance at it - I figured it would go for 10K, so I didn't bid on it - and it went for like $150.00

 

Wow--I hope for his sake he connects with a wealthy eccentric.

 

insane! that's gotta be the largest private collection of music anywhere, i wonder how much he spent on collecting all of those records over the year, 3 mil ain't a bad chunk of change for it!

 

I ran some numbers earlier; if there is an error in my math please correct me.

If you use the base number of 6,000,000 songs and multiply that by a conservative average of 3 minutes per track, you would have approximately 34 years of continuous music IF you could manage to listen 24 hours a day.

 

You're young; bid now!

 

The vinyl alone is probably worth the money. If it's in as good of shape as he suggests you could probably buy it, open an ebay store and sell it all individually for much profit.

 

Maybe he transferred them all to mp3's?

 

Last picture shows him in front of a monitor.......

 

He would need a real BIG hard drive for that...lol

 

I have over 9K songs on my iPod and thought I had alot...WOW!!

 

I thought I was doing good with 2500. I gotta catch up.

 

3mil records and 300k cd's only amounts to 6mil songs??

 

Looks like something Paul Allen would want.

 

probably has multiple copies of the same songs. You know...the plugged AND unplugged versions

 

Yeah, that math is wrong. The cds alone, with an average of 14 songs per cd would have 4.2 million songs. If the records are all singles, well it's still 1.2 million short.

 

looks like you are alos getting a business with the recordings it also says more than 6 million song titles


"The new owner of this magnificent collection will also acquire (1) the rights to Spin-Clean, the owner's patented vinyl record cleaning system, considered the best on the market by audiophiles the world over, (2) the rights to Discmist CD cleaner, (3) CD Saver 2-part archival CD storage sleeves, (4)Yellow Jacket 45 RPM acid-free archival storage sleeves, (5) ownership of the owner's six publishing companies and eight independent record labels, and (7) more than $100,000 worth of antique recording and listening devices and other music memorabilia currently on loan to a museum."

 

wow beats my 750k songs...all mp3 files (and yes they are legal)

 

Will the whole collection fit on my ipod

 

And the vast majority of it is probably garbage. Still impressive/ridiculous.

 

Yes, IPod will be releasing a 25K GB version soon.....

 

O man I wouldn't want to see the price for that solid state hard drive

edit nevermind

 

There's a bid!

 

So 3 millions vinyls or the full Ferrari Supercar package ??

 

Heard him on the radio yesterday. Many of the albums he has multiple copies. One title he had over 100 albums all the same.

So... there's a lot of duplication within the collection.

he's looking for someone to buy the entire shebang and then donate it to a recording museum. He's in his 60's with some health confitions and wants to spend his time with his kids and grandkids.

It is an amazing collection.
