No, that's not an exact count, but when you have a 3-year-old daughter rampaging your living room, you give up on doing a lot of things "exact." For a few months there, one of our kid's favorite games was Scatter the CD Collection, so finally my wife gave up and just tossed most all of our tunes into a couple of laundry baskets. She then pushed said baskets out into our garage, where they still rest today.
