Just keep going to the public library and that results in even more songs in my iTunes library :p: 8816 songs, still none from iTMS, since I live in a country where it doesn't exist... :(

...oh, and I got a couple of CDs for my birthday last month, which also adds a few tracks...
 
surpirsed

You know, iTunes is sneaky.

I love the program, I use my iPod daily, I'm obsessive about updating my album art. My library is impeccably organized.

Most of my collection is ripped from my own CDs. I have a few old downloaded songs (maybe 20 total). The rest are iTunes purchases, which I thought were vere few.

My totals:

3991 songs (19.2 GB)

iTunes Purchases:

183 songs

I tend to be an album purchaser, so I don't think I've spent $183 dollars. More likely $125-150. Still, this is a sizeable chunk of change over only 6 months or so. It's just so easy to buy an new album!!!

How about you? Are you surprised at the gowing number of iTunes purchases you have?

About 17,190 tracks. 102GB. None from iTMS.

A mixture of CD rips, video game music (ie. Diablo II available for free download from Blizzard), AudioBooks (available for free from - somewhere I can't remember - highlighted in MacUser / MacFormat UK many years ago ) - The Complete Works of Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes are in there.
Most are ripped from my MC (music cassette for you little 'uns) library from my student days.

I still have a stack of MC and all my vinyl to do.
Although it all gets backed up three times in three places, I'd have no guilt in downloading all the MC rips from 'other' sources if I was to lose them. It was an arduous task ripping the tape into Toast's Spin Doctor and then into iTiunes, converting to mp3, labelling by hand.
 
holy 5 year old thread!!

HEy Berty Boy, I am curious as to what kbs your conversion of cassette to iTunes are?

since I am already in this thread, i have about 9200 songs, and about 60 are from iTunes and the rest are from my CDs...
 
1956 total

312 from iTMS


Lately, I've been getting a lot of free album downloads when I buy albums, like; Cage the Elephant, Beastie Boys, Flight of the Conchords, Phoenix, etc.

It's a great little bonus for those of us that still like to get albums on vinyl.

Just used a good tape deck, high quality cable with gold plated contacts, straight into my old MDD. Ate large amounts of memory importing into Spin Doctor, which then saved as AIFF. Out of memory more than a few times maxed out to 2GB (I have 24GB in my Mac Pro so the vinyl won't be an issue).
Imported these into iTunes, hand-labelled everything and then converted to mp3 at 192kb/s. It came out scarily good.
After ALL that effort I wasn't going to toss away any quality benefits I'd achieved just to save a few MBs of disk.
 
618 songs...none from iTunes. Mind you this number is actually short because I have numerous large multimovement classical works that I joined into one track apiece to keep the sort from screwing them up. 5 GB, and growing. I like hard copies. :)
 
7966 songs, 61 and a bit GB, none from iTunes store but quite a lot from Amazon, maybe 1000 or so tracks.

Plus my classical music is in a different Itunes library, about 10 GB.
 
7175 song, 21.9 days, 51.84 GB

0 purchased, 0 ripped.
worked out that around (on average) 5.5 hours of music have been played each day for the last 8 months

average bit rate - 228
most common bit rate - 320 (6180 tracks)
 
In the process of consolidating my music right now right now, but last numbers were:

19781 Songs
56.1 Days
163.29 GB

6473 Songs Purchased from iTunes Store

The rest ripped from my CD Collection


Entire music collection is actually around 220 GB Now, but won't have a full count for about 2 weeks once everything finishes downloading and syncing.
 
Lets see...

Albums:
764 albums 9.2 days, 31.45GB

Songs:
3339 items 9.5 days, 37.16GB

Videos:
186 items, 14 hours 16mins, 12.06GB

Itunes lists my purchased contend as...

140 songs

86 Movies

480 TV Episodes


and the oldest purchase in my library is still a 128k protected file, Jewel - Intuition (Todd Terry Radio Mix), 2003
