Around 6,000 Cds, about half of those classical, one-quarter rock, and the rest is blues, jazz, country, folk, and world.
All my LPs are in boxes in the closet, about 300 from my once-huge collection.

Your closing key is not the same,
This gives the Masters pain;
But Hans Sachs draws a rule from this:
In Spring, it must be so! 'Tis plain!
"In Spring! In the creation of art it must be as it is in Spring!" -Arnold Schoenberg
"I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not! But I’m sick and tired of being told that I am!" - Monty Python
I have about 1500 CD's with 800 of these being Classical.
Over the last two years I've been doing a massive decluttering for various reasons. My classical lps are now down to around 2,000, from previously over 7,000. Classical cds now around 1,500, from 3,000. Though I'm still aquiring plenty of new stuff.
I haven't missed any of the stuff I've given away, most of it was works or composers I've never grown to realy love, or multiple recordings of works I've finally decided on the only recording I need.
I've still got everything by Bach a dozen different ways, and something similar for most of the lieder repertoire. Key works by Beethoven and Haydn maybe four or five interpretations. A number of other favorites maybe three.

Oh, now let me see...1, 2, 3, 4.....Carmina Burana, Peter and the Wolf, Four Seasons, The Planets, Young Person's Guide, Star Wars...
I should say something in the order of 43 CDs and 6 LPs!
Oh and a cassette of Greatest Operatic Hits!
(PS I was joking about the Star Wars!)

I'm quite amazed just how members here have 1000's+ of classical CDs itself. The fact that you can have so many, that astounds me as non-classical CDs dominate stores and would think it'll be harder to build such a huge collection.
On a side note, as a new classical listener, I've got 10 classical CDs out of my 500+ collection!

You can also get hold of second hand CD's.
Fools talk because they have to say something, wise men talk because they have something to say.
Most of the 2nd CD shops have closed down, even as I find some stores, they don't sell classical :| More hunting is needed.

There are also many, many more titles in classical music... Composers might have six CDs of just symphonies... Then dozens of concertos, then chamber music, choral, solo instrumental opera, etc. Then you have dozens of versions by different conductors and orchestras. It all adds up.
