How big is your music collection?

RamenBooko · Apr 21, 2008, 03:57 PM

The other day, a co-worker showed me a picture thousands of vinyl and CD's he had collected over several decades (along with some nice equipment). I then told him I have the same amount of music, on a 3.5" hard drive whereas his took up an entire room.

Well, what's your count folks?

Telp · Apr 21, 2008, 03:58 PM

What's the total count of yours, in GB?

JoshLV · Apr 21, 2008, 03:59 PM

About 600 iTunes songs, with about 10 CDs. I'm still a novice, but 600 keeps me happy

nomar383 · Apr 21, 2008, 03:59 PM

60-70GB of music
100+ Movies in digital form

I could play music for over 40 days straight and never hit the same song twice. I could never listen to all of it, but nice to have around

rhett7660 · Apr 21, 2008, 04:02 PM

250+ gigs worth of ripped and purchased music. Over 600+ cd's. My cd collection takes up a nice shiny metal carring case and two really big brown boxes in the garage!

LeahM · Apr 21, 2008, 04:04 PM

400 Itunes songs and about 50 CDs that aren't on itunes.

bartelby · Apr 21, 2008, 04:09 PM

There is this thread from last year.

I've got about 100 more LPs and maybe 150 more cds from the photos in that thread.

I love looking at toothpaste's photos.

My iTunes library stands , currently, at 11,735 tracks. I add about 150 a month to it.

Telp · Apr 21, 2008, 04:21 PM

21 GB and still growing/adding from CDs. I want to get one of those things so that i can burn vinyls to the computer.

Cyburnclassic · Apr 21, 2008, 04:24 PM

Mine only about 2GB at the moment.

sunfast · Apr 21, 2008, 04:29 PM

I still buy all my music on CD and rip it before putting it in a MASSIVE box. I've got hundreds....

TheSpecialist · Apr 21, 2008, 04:41 PM

All songs with cover art and ID3 tags 100% perfecto

Began with this January 1st 2007. Pretty neat in my opinion and I'm very, very proud of it.

muldul · 11:47 AM

I have got 1027 songs, 79 full length movies and 84 tv shows. Sadly they don't fit on my 16 GB ipod touch

applegoddess09 · Apr 21, 2008, 05:29 PM

wow. i feel like such a beginner. lol.
i have 260 songs [1.5GB], with a couple CDs I need to rip, and about 200 songs I need to get from a friend. Then you add in four movies, some music videos, two shorts and a ton of podcasts and that equals my library for now.

I plan on ripping my DVDs but waiting to get the Mac mini for the storage.

iJohnHenry · 05:44 PM

I have 218 vinyl, 70 Cd's and a few tapes.

And some "library" stuff on my HDD (about 4 gig).

kflook · Apr 21, 2008, 05:43 PM

I used to buy CDs, now I pretty much buy everything on iTunes to save space.

Mugs · Apr 21, 2008, 06:44 PM

6996! So close to that 7000 mark! mostly cd's which are piled up around my house! hehe

gtyper · Apr 21, 2008, 07:36 PM

629.87 Gb, 26,635 songs.

All FLAC, All the time. Lots of rare vinyl and MFSL/DCC remasters.

Perfectly tagged and all with artwork of 600X600.

Perhaps... but his collection will always be more impressive and say a lot more about his commitment to music (and his opinion of its worth) than yours.

This is exactly why I am starting to build my physical collection up to the size it ought to be—which is to say, "massive."

Satori · Apr 21, 2008, 07:47 PM

Surely size is not as important as what you do with it?

RaceTripper · Apr 21, 2008, 09:10 PM

I have over 3000 analog jazz and classical LPs and I wouldn't trade them for 10 times that amount of music on iTMS.

I only play these on a Linn Sondek LP12.

ryannel2003 · Apr 21, 2008, 09:22 PM

Most of my music is from CD's, but about 100 or so songs are purchased from iTunes.

buckycat36 · Apr 21, 2008, 09:27 PM

826 songs 3.95gb
64 videos 11gb
