For the most part, I do listen to every CD I purchase at least once, but there are the random CDs that were purchased for very specific reasons and I have never been compelled to listen to the entire CD. There are a wide range of bootlegs that I have collected but haven't gotten around to listening to as well.

I would say I have listened to about 90 percent of my collection...

I only have 3500 songs (and growing), but I have all my songs in my car and on my playlist on my cpu and listen to them all over and over.  When I get a new CD I give it at least 3 spins before I get rid of it.

Nope. I have a bunch of Jethro Tull-related albums that I haven't gotten to yet. And I still have Gorillaz' new album, but I've yet to listen to anything past the second track.

I always listen to an album upon obtaining it. So yes, I have heard everything at least once.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

This. Except I still haven't listened to the Nightwish albums and such Husband owned before he knew me (he hasn't listened to my DC Talk albums either :P ).
Same with books, except now I have a backlog (bought too many books at once and am not finished with them yet).

If you mean library as in on PC, what I have on my HDD is actually my own CDs ripped to WMA, so you know the answer.

If on CD... unfortunately not. There are a few albums I've bought and even though I'm really interested to hear them, I still haven't. :blush

iTunes sucks with play counts (along with many other things), and since mine crashed, my play counts were lost.  I used to be pretty close to having listened to every song.  I'm slowly get back to that point, but it takes awhile with 10k+ songs.

I've listened to the majority, but not everything.

Yes, I make a point to listen to every album I buy in its entirety within a week or so of purchase.

No. There have been a few albums I couldn't stomach finishing. Dillinger Escape Plan comes to mind.

In the case of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, I couldn't even endure the first 20 seconds.

Yet I still have these albums in my library for some reason...

I've gotten close before, leaving out only some 100~200 songs from my iTunes library.

Absolutely. In addition to listening to new music as soon as I get it, I periodically listen to all of my music from A to Z to clean out the stuff I don't listen to.

Owing a Hammerfall album should be a bannable offense.

But you're awesome otherwise so this just goes for everyone else.

No.
Most of the stuff is given to me in MP3 format, in the past I would just slap them in my library. But for the past few months I've been making an effort to listen to everything I get and stuff that I haven't heard or just haven't heard in a very long time.

Yeah, every once in awhile I'll go through every studio album I own making sure I listen to every single one.

I haven't done it for awhile though as last time it took me like 4 months to finish.

Of the over 7000 songs I legitamately own (basically, not counting bootlegs), there is only one song that is is not marked as having listened to it, and that is the interview track at the end of Blind Guardians A Twist in the Myth, because I've kept it off my iPods because they are all full and I don't need 12+ minutes of an interview taking space.  But since it's technically not a song, I guess I have listened to everything  :tup

I have over 4000 songs, and I've heard every one. What I do, is I take a band, and set out to listen to everything they've made. My most recent one was actually Dream Theater. Only took a few days :D

There's a few on iTunes that don't have a play count, but they're mostly stuff thats ingrained in my being anyway (i.e Zeppelin and Maiden discographies, etc.).  I could go into a jam and play most of the stuff by memory, which is kinda frightening but kewl.
