Post The World's Largest Music Collection

A friend of mine pointed me to this collection of music going on sale at eBay - the World's Largest Music Collection. For only $3,000,000.

D@mn!! I just wish the decimal was at least two spots to the left.

I truly am drooling.

Anyone want to form a consortium?!? ...and a bigger basement!!! :)

Doug:

You of all people, with your signature, should be lucky/cursed to own this collection. Let's see, 300,000 CDs, say 1 hour each, should only take 34 years to listen to (assuming that you listened 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, without vacations or bathroom breaks). Then you could move on the million or so vinyl records. How many needles would your turntable go through listening to that many records?

The biggest problem with all of that is I wasn't able to calculate in any time for your to add the collection to your CATraxx database...

I only wish :!: But then, if I was selling, it probably would be for health reason, same as this guy.

Mental health reasons....

Or health problems related to your spouse's efforts to kill you for spending all that money on music you can never listen to.

Does the 18 TB model fit in a pocket or do you need an 18-wheeler to drive along behind you?
