How much music is in your iTunes music library?

[dilbert4life]

How much music do you have in your iTunes Library? I think I have a lot, but I want to get an idea of what a lot of music is. How much do you have? just attach screenshots to your post of your library stats that are at the bottom of the itunes window. Or just post with the info.

I guess I should go first.:apple:

[anjinhamarota]

Here:

[rsd]

Mine: :)

[Rhosfelt]

Im not on my main computer but the stats from my touch say:

3,254 songs 307 albums totaling about 8 Days, and around 14GBs

[dilbert4life]

Mine: :)

Umm, wow. That's ridiculous. What type of audio does that mostly consist of?

[rsd]

Loads of stuff... :D

I love music and have been collecting tracks for years and years

[Xavier]

And I thought I had alot :eek:

you must really love your music too!!

i cant stop buying/downloading it.... its an addiction!

[luckygyrl83]

Mine: :)

I think Im jealous. I only have about 1200 songs. A cd case that I had in my car was stolen a couple years ago, and I havent had them replaced.

[cosmokanga2]

Grows about 400mb a week.

[rsd]

i have never had any music stolen, but i can imagine that it would suck! hang on in there dude you can them back bit by bit, dont give in :p

[c073186]

Mine: :)

I'm not making any accusations but is all of that legal? That's a lot of money ...

[Melrose]

Eh you're all pikers (well, except for you there with 146 gigs of music...Holy mackerel how do you get that much music in the first place?)

[ayeying]

I'm not making any accusations but is all of that legal? That's a lot of money ...

No one cares. lol

[c073186]

No one cares. lol

All I was getting is that was that he must spend a lot on music!! :o I was not trying to spark any debate... I really could (not) care less...

[arkitect]

I'm not making any accusations but is all of that legal? That's a lot of money ...

It is not necessarily "illegaly" acquired…

My own iTunes librar(ies) add up to more than 600GB…

However it is 99% made up of my digitised CD collection (been at it since 1984 — and some albums from the 70s)… all ripped to Apple Lossless.

What I have bought in electronic format is a pretty small amount and accounts for the other 1%.

Oh and there are still a few cartons of CDs (currenty in storage) waiting to be transfered. :o

I just like the convenience of digital and not having to waste the space on that. I use the shelf space for books. :D:D

I cried when I realized they where gone. I only had about 80 in my car, but they were so sentimental :(

[Melrose]

That's where probably 97% of my music came from too. I've got several CDs, but only ripped the songs that I actually like or listen to on a regular basis.

And there's more than likely more purchased, digitally-downloaded tracks than I care to admit...

[LeahM]

366 items, 1 day, 2.34 GB, 141 albums

[BigHungry04]

2469 songs, 11.1 days, 14.92 GB.

[ucfgrad93]

Here are my stats.

[Scepticalscribe]

At the moment - 3199 songs, 8.5 days, 11.10 GB - but it is constantly changing as I add more to it.
Cheers

[bsheridan]

Don't worry , just got a new HD and still haven't sorted everything out :D

[Melrose]

Hey some of you guys have the little bar that reads "x No. of Albums" some say "x No. of songs" how do switch between the two? Clicking it just toggles between actual day:hour:minute:second and estimated play time for me..

[raggedjimmi]

^ Click on the grid view in iTunes.

Ta daaa. But my iTunes drive is 300gb and almost full, lots of DVD rips and recorded TV in there. Just need a bigger drive now to throw on some more shows (Merlin starts soon :D).

[yg17]

12,683 items, 35.8 days, 89.39 gigs

[KJmoon117]

All encoded (well most...) in 320kbps AAC or MP3

[Gray-Wolf]

About this much -

Note, this does not include 18 gb of TV shows and movies that I keep on an external hard drive.

I'm on a mission to listen to it all! :D

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I'm on a mission to listen to it all! :D

same mission! I have 5 days of unlistened to tracks. Although I have heard most of them on CD I want to hear them and have iTunes put at least one play count up. I also am trying to rate every track. I have 8 days of unrated tracks. I guess that's not that bad since I have about 13.5 days worth of music.

1395 Songs / 6.30gb

Currently i only have 1642 of my tracks listened to :o

But all my playcounts add up to 3974 plays. I guess i could have all my music listened to, but i replay my favourite songs a lot (as does everyone).

I'll get it all listened to one day....

[wozzlewoozle]

[Shadow]

I recently cleared the junk out my library and reduced its size by about half so I'm currently at 1198 items (7.49GB) excluding movies.

Just switch it too grid view, that will give you the albums. If you want to see the total number of songs, you need to be in list view.:apple:

how do you find your total play count?
just as a little side note my iTunes tells me I have listened to one single track for around twelve hours. The track is 3 minutes 39 seconds and its play count is 223.

[rhett7660]

Mine. Still have about 50 plus or minus cd's to rip. A lot of my classical music still to go through also.


On a side note,, the screen capture using command-shift-4 is one of the coolest things I have learned!

[sangosimo]

I have 6000tracks but only 4000 show in itunes :[

[spikespike]

I'm approaching 4k songs. Its an expensive (as was already noted) but addicting habit.

[dilbert4life]

On a side note,, the screen capture using command-shift-4 is one of the coolest things I have learned!

I remember the day that I learned how to do that. I think that it was the day that I got my first 12" Powerbook G4 with 10.4. I was taking screenshots of everything.

By the way, this is kind of sad, I guess, but just yesterday I backed up ALL my music to a single 8.5 GB DL DVD-R. I don't think I have enough music.:apple:

my dad keeps his backed up on an external drive (the whole iTunes library) but I've backed up only the big space-takers like movies (which weigh in at sumo sizes).

I figure if my Mac crashes, it's the end of the world so it doesn't matter if I've got my music backed up or not. ;)

[lofight]

842 songs, 3,90GB

[dilbert4life]

It would definitely be the end of the world if my Mac crashed, I would not know what to do.

[dilbert4life]

There's gotta be more people out there that have more music than me.

[fireshot91]

1096 Songs: 2.8Days: 5.32GB

[jecapaga]

23786 songs, 71.8 days, 167.64GB...most of my collection

[yojitani]

Frankly, I'm surprised the OP's collection is so small.

Incidentally, a lot of that is burnt from CDs collected from since whenever CDs came out - plus a long emusic sub.

[remmy]

2837 items / 8.3 days / 12.32 GB

When I first got the computer I did make a playlist with play count is 0 to listen to everything again. :o

[chilipie]

3428 items, 9.6 days, 18.57 GB... too much for my 16 GB nano and two shuffles :o

[juanster]

not on my comp right now(work) so i can tc heck for sure but i am sure i have about 18Gb of music

[toolbox]

Heres mine, Music and Movies

[FrankieTDouglas]

Here's mine...

[Vivid.Inferno]

Here's mine:

[Carl Abudephane]

Right now ....

[scotty96LSC]

1400 songs.

[juanster]

here you go

[ChrisA]

7162 songs, 22.8 days, 179.37 GB Every track is in Apple lossless format.

I still have a few dozen more CDs to rip. Maybe 300+ more tracks

Jazz, Classical, Blues and Rock from the 50's to 90's and some that is more current

Artists range from Led Zeppelin to Leadbelly, Kraftwork to ZZ Top. Portishead, NIN and White Stripes. I may have a complete Dylan discography(?)
1216 tracks are Classical Music and half of those are 20th century composers such as Bartok, Debussy,...

I have a "classic" iPod Mini and a Shuffle and an airport express that drives a pair of four foot tall vintage Infinity speakers

[tmerritt530]

This is whats on my external drive. My laptop has maybe 150 songs :D

[Cassie]

493 songs. I don't like the lot of mainstream music these days, and it's hard to find out about the older stuff...

[dmr727]

I am lame.

547 songs, 1.7 days, 2.68 GB

[alexlovesmacs]

370 Songs, 22:07:47 total time, 1.56 GB.:rolleyes: I wish I had 100 GB of music.

[raggedjimmi]

About 25gb of 128-256kbps MP3's and AAC's.
Probably mostly game soundtracks and other ambient stuff - got the whole Tangerine Dream discography (or at least everything they released in the UK), Mr. Scruff, Lemon Jelly. Lots of Beatles, ELO and that kind of stuff.

[Balty]

About 25gb of 128-256kbps MP3's and AAC's.

Same here. :cool:

[iGav]

I'm in the process of reimporting everything in Apple Lossless.

The only things that aren't Lossless, are either iTS purchases, or music from artists that released albums on the web (Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Saul Williams etc).

I prefer my own filing system for mp3s and use iTunes only for ripping CDs and internet radio. Thus,

Not much on my dell.. as i am scared to download any music.


My mac at home i have about 1000 songs

[AlexH]

Little bit more than I thought... I've been busy!

[doubleohseven]

Wow! Mine's pretty paltry compared to a lot of peoples on here!

Mine's even more paltry. :o

[ben.o]

Frankly, I wouldn't advice to give any money to emusic.com - you might experienced some very disappointing experiences: they contract conditions are hidden so that you believe you pay one time the amount you see but you will be surprised to see your credit card debited every month for 6 months ! and there is nothing you can do to cancel this as emusic.com can somehow prove that you agreed for their (hidden) agreement. I call that theft, nothing else! Good choice and good luck !

[SLC Flyfishing]

Something like 64 GB for my iTunes library, and probably 50 of that is music. I've got about 6,000 music tracks, most of them Punk Rock and less than 2 minutes in length so I can cram a lot of them in a small amount of Disk space.

SLC

[Vivaldi]

I have 6396 songs in my library, totalling to 28.32 GB on the disk. Pretty much the entirety of my library consists of classical music, a lot of it being Baroque and Renaissance music. There is a considerable portion of "new" music, however, from composers like Shostakovich, Xenakis, and Glass (yes, I'm well aware they have their own sub-groupings in musical canon), and some romantic and early 20th century works (Stravinsky, Ysaye, Debussy). I do also have a CD of world music from the Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia) and Ancient Greece and Persia.

[MST]

A rather measly...
