No idea... but I'd say that close to 0% that I can't imagine listening to.
I like the experience of being able to always find something "new" (new to
me that minute) in my own collection. If there is something I don't care
for, I ship it out or put it in my Lala bag for future trading. But
otherwise, if I've kept it, I probably can envisage listening to it again.
I amass, but I don't horde (if that makes sense.) Also, given how much
music I have and how many listening hours there will be in the next 5 years,
and factoring in new music listening time, I probably cannot physically
listen to everything I have in 5 years. But I do try to maintain my
collection such that I might want to listen to everything. Exceptions:
stuff I keep because my wife likes it (we have morphed into a single
collection, and I know I'M never playing that Lauryn Hill CD again); and
live bootlegs that I've collected because they might "trade well" (stuff I
think might have value to other traders.)

I think I've kind of answered this one above.
>> C) What does that mean to you if anything?
Nothing more than I've writ. But one comment. Stuart said he thins out
based on, did he listen to something in the last 5 years. That wouldn't
work for me, because when I try something like that, I invariably pull out
CDs and say, "Hey! I haven't played this in over 5 years!" and then pop
them in.
