Wish Lists

Who has a wish list? Where?

Do you put everything in there you want or just the current stuff?

I'll answer first. I have a wish list at Amazon, Swapacd.com and Paperbackswap.com. They all have the same thing. I generally try to limit my wish lists to about 25 items each, otherwise I get overloaded.

I have a wish list at Amazon and also at Emusic. I also have an excel file that I keep track of upcoming releases (stuff I can watch for to give a listen when it comes out and decide if I will want it or not).

I have one on Amazon that's somewhat random/eclectic.  I keep my wantlists on the Metal Archives and Firestream pretty up to date.

Why do you want to know about my wish lists? Do you have money to burn and want to burn it my way?

Amazon

 I track mine with Excel as well. I also have my current collection catalogued on there... I'm a nerd.

Huh. I keep mine pretty organized. I have 4 at Amazon:
Music - CD's and whatnot
Books - well, books
Guitar stuff - this is any guitar stuff, including the electric I want, the amp I want, and new strings for my current acoustic
Private - this is the miscellaneous list. I currently have a t-shirt they don't have in my size, two stickers I can't decide if I want for my guitar case and a book collection I'm buying my wife for Mother's Day

You can have multiple Amazon wishlists?  Cool!  Amazon doesn't have most of the music I want anyways so I have a couple movies on there, an iPod, etc.

I'm probably worse than you. I have several excel sheets and subcategorize my albums by type (cd, mp3, cassette) as well as an entire separate list for release dates separated by secular and Christian....I'm hopelessly anal about lists. I also have a play list to make sure I listen to new music enough times before putting it in standard rotation as well as listening through every album in my collection. (it takes over a year to do that).

Here's my Wantlist. I doubt i'll ever complete my ever growing want list.

If I had one wish , it would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.

If I had two wishes, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace, and the second would be for $30 million a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.

You know, if I had three wishes, first, of course, would be for all the children to get together and sing, the second would be for the $30 million every month to me, and the third would be for all encompassing power over every living being thing in the entire universe.

And if I had four wishes, the first would be the crap about the kids...

You can have a wishlist at eMusic?  I did not know that.  I wonder what I would even wish for.

As far as wish lists, I don't usually keep one but will make one closer to my birthday & Christmas.  This makes shopping easier for my wife.  I can pretty much keep up with the things that I want for myself.  Not having kids, I can afford pretty much any CD, movie, or book that I want.  I may choose to get a used copy to make it cheaper, though, or use my book swapping site to get something free.

I have separate pages for different artists, listing each album with info about the album - year, lineup, etc.

I have a thing about lists as well. They're very gratifying.

Hmmm, I haven't thought of making a list to include band line-ups....I might just need to another list.

Well technically they call it a "Save for Later" list.
