How many unique songs in your songbook.

Often times when I do get a chance to visit other shows here in town the first thing I like to look for is the quality of the " others' " songbooks, as I take great pride in my own. A lot of books I see keep their "duplicate songs" in the book. I don't for my own reasons.
However, I was wondering how many "UNIQUE" songs most of us do get by with. A Unique song is described as a song with the same songname and artist.
If you would, please count, or even estimate, your unique songs (not including any duplicates) and place a vote in the appropriate box.

Unique Songs

Last year I deleted my dups and now I have about 8000 songs. I took the time to listen to them and pick the best version and deleted the rest off the HD also. I probably deleted 500 dups. I had some songs on 5 different cds.

Just shy over 10,300 as of last week. Went to my master, have 13,200 with dups. I am careful when I do buys not to get a disc that I already have the majority of the songs - unless it is an absolute MUST HAVE.

I do the same thing. Now I buy mostly new stuff monthly that comes out in Pop and Country, guaranteed uniqueness that way too.

I was estimating about 20 - 30 % duplicates in an average buyer's collection. You're right about there.

ex. 2900 / 13,200 = 21.97% : Towards the low end, good.

Anyone else wanna offer their duplicate % out of curiosity.
