Ahh but what is legal? ;)

I purchased the majority of my music from iTunes replacing A LOT of illegal stuff but I then turned around and redownloaded most of it at allofmp3.com in a high bit\sample rate in a non DRMed flavor of AAC. Funny thing is redownloading it again was pennies for each track so it wasn’t a big deal and explain to me the difference between ripping it off of a CD vs. redownloading it in a different format after purchasing it legally online.

I thought sharing with friends was part of Fair Usage. Maybe I'm wrong. Though it is better than going to the library and copying all their cds.
 
around 21000 give or take a few hundred

almost .5% legal ..im very proud of the fact that i actually got some legal songs..so dont yell at me!

:D
 
1305 in AAC 192kb. All from CDs I own. None from iTunes store. Although I regret not getting Nelly Furtado's AOL Sessions when the Pepsi/iTunes promo was going on. Then again, I couldn't find any Pepsi/iTunes bottles at the corner shops I frequent.

No. You should buy your own copy. And Fair Use doesn't really apply here. The Fair Use rules are there to protect journalists and librarians, not to allow you to copy music that your friend paid for.
 
2317 Songs
7:16:39:56 total time
15.96 GB (just enough to fit on the 20GB I won from iTMS!)

145 Songs are from iTMS (about 60 of which were free). I like the concert series and the exclusive tracks.

Biggest artist is Beatles - 13 albums, 182 songs (don't have Magical Mystery Tour or later collections). Sting is in 2nd.

Also, I do have some illegal songs on there. My bandmates burn CD's of music and share them around when we are trying to learn a new song or cover. I usually keep them on until I learn the song or decide to download the track from iTMS.
 
I have 9.46 GB of music right now.

Excluding artists that aren't really artists (such as "(Unknown Artist)" and "SNES"), the artist I have the most songs from is PaleDeth, with 37 songs, including 2 co-ops with other artists.

Never heard of PaleDeth? PaleDeth's page can be found here.

My iTunes Library statistics page
 
Only 388 songs, 1 day, 1.89 GB Some are from my CD collection and my boyfriend's CD collection. The rest are from iTMS. Even got a few free with all that Pepsi I drank. Always felt suspicious tilting the bottles and putting back any that weren't winners. I miss those days though :)

Well you learn something new everyday.
Though getting music from your friend is a little better than p2p I would think. :rolleyes:
 
I now have 69 songs 257.6 MB 4.2 hours. The overwhelming majority free, the weekly and Pepsi deal. I purchased one album.

Can't wait till I have 1TB of storage to play with. When i have that, im putting my entire music collection on here.


Ive probably got about 500-750 cds of mp3s (all obtained legally so dont flame :p)
 
wow, rhpenguin. I think that's more Led Zepplin than I've got music, total. :)

Well, let's see, now that I'm home at my Mac. After tonight's iTunes purchases :eek: I've got:

1423 songs, 4.1 days, 7.59 GB
390 artists, 349 albums

Of that, I've purchased from the iTMS:

songs, 20.1 hours, 1.15 GB

The rest is 90% from my own CDs, ripped as 192 kbps MP3s. I've added some of the album artwork to those, but have a long ways to go to get it all....I'd find it very helpful to be able to visually distinguish all the CD-R's I'm always swapping out in the car.

Let's see, artists.....

Hands down, the honors go to:

Depeche Mode: 64 songs, 4.9 hours, 403.5 MB
Nine Inch Nails: 55 songs, 4.2 hours, 356.9 MB

Runners-up:

The Cure, 42 songs (it would be more if I could put my tapes in iTunes)
They Might Be Giants, 37 songs (but I hardly ever listen to them, somehow....)
Evanescence, 34 songs (the bulk of these illegal, because you CAN'T buy them :mad: )
Filter, 33 songs (but I only really like one of these albums)
Covenant, 32 songs
Tori Amos, 32 songs
Tool, 27 songs
System of a Down, 26 songs
Mary Prankster, 25 songs (local Maryland artist)
VNV Nation, 23 songs

And that's my iTunes....because you asked. :D
 
4,612 songs....12.5 days.....19.66 GB

The leader of the pack is Jars of Clay followed by Dave Matthews Band
