how big is your digital music collection?

[le_chic_garcon]

mine's been growing pretty rapidly but I'm sure some people here have bigger collections...

as of this morning

Do you not get sick of the music? I had like 5,000 on my computer. It sucked. I realized I didn't need half of the stuff and just started deleting everything. It's a bitch to scroll on an ipod wiht it too. I have V2 of them so it sucks.

[totally epic]

Around 10,000 tracks.

chrono, wasn't a question. I was saying he wasn't crazy for using CD's. my glovebox is full of purchased CD's.

Why would I get tired of my music? I only keep shit I like, other shit gets deleted quick. Whenever I'm on the computer ( way too often) I'm playing itunes.

Maybe 10 terabytes?

I have a box at home thats 2 terabytes and is nearly full, I also have boxes around the world that are full of mp3's. Some co-lo'ed here in the US, two in canada, etc..I just turned on this box to see what was on it, here is the list of mp3's at the time it was turned off a year ago.

I'm not a music pirate though...

Mod'd for?

who are you, karl lagerfeld? I'm also sad to see so many of you use iTunes. yes, necessary evil, I know -- for all of you that have iPods

[newaesthetic]

Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 34gb. Haven't dl'ed anything new in a while, and there was an extra 5gb up until a month ago. 80gb harddrive's kinda limiting it, though.

It's funny to hear people talk about storage/space limitations for MP3s.. I've got almost 3000 records in my living room and a bunch more down the hallway and it's always felt like a fairly compact collection to me.

what do you guys think about ppl asking to "get some music," as in connecting their ipod to your comp and basically takin your entire collection? If random people ask its not hard to blow em off but when homies ask I feel like an ass saying no but then again I spent a long ass time collecting, buying and organizing my shit and I don't want someone to just come and jack it all

[Kasper]

about 120 gigs, 1400 albums, all 192+ and properly tagged (i'm a freak about these thing). just bought an ipod classic 160 gigs and can't wait to be able to put all my collection on it. probably have listened at one point or the other to maybe 95% of my music, but then i'm already 26, have been listening to 4-8 hours of music a day for maybe the past 15 years, loves discovering new artists and have very broad taste.

DEPHT: i really know what you mean. i have spent hundreds of hours collecting and organizing my collection (especially in the early days of download, where you have to individually find each track of an album, make sure the DL would finish, manually organize the music into folders and then MANUALLY tagging the songs...) so ppl would always come to my place to get some music. it pissed me off how easy it was for someone to just come over and fill their ipod while it took me so long, but then, at least i made sure my friends listened to come good music

and about the size of your collection,
