CD statistics
Note: I count the number of discs I have, regardless of what kind of jewel cases or boxes they are
put in. For instance, some people count a Philips Duo set, which has two CDs in a slim jewel case, as one CD, but I count that as two. After so many years of counting CDs, I have found that this is the most consistent ethod.
