Last Diwali, while I was cleaning my room i counted the entire Cds that I had back then in 2004. The total came to about 2000 Cds. The no. of DVD back then was just some 15 or so. Never counted it again. This diwali I just removed them from the cupboard, collected others from the desk and office where my PC is, stacked them in the cd-r tower box and placed them inside the cupboard.
Never checked it again, but for sure there would be another 500 thanks to digit and CHIP resorting to multiple dvd and cd. But amongst these, all the cds purchased way back in 1996-97 the chip, cgw, computer @ home , and other old cds have been completely scratched and no longer work.
