it took me a few years to get it all together, nothing but full albums.

I'd imagine >1TB is a minimum to be in the running for this thread. >75-100,000 songs too.
 
Here's mine. Only about 5 or 6 movies, the rest are music files. Not the winner, but I'm proud of it...

I have 28,000+ songs 99% ripped from legally purchased CD's, the rest from iTunes.

Movies, TV? Not so much. Probably 40 movies, 30 TV shows.
 
I currently have about 45,000 songs, though I'm only about 1/2 through encoding my CDs. Once that's done I need to do my LPs, which would probably add another 15,000 or so. I imagine it will take me a couple more years to finish, and to end up with over 100,000 songs.

I'm also doing two copies of my stuff, lossless and lossy. I expect the lossless to take up a couple terabytes. The lossy will probably be around 500-750 gb.

I don't keep movies/TV shows in iTunes at the moment (nor do I really plan to).
 
lol

its funny how people are posting their DVD gigabyte usage on here when the question is about songs...a TB of DVD rips is just a few hundred movies in actuality, a fairly, mediocre collection, not too mention, why would you rip DVD's you already own? Just treat them nicely and they'll last forever. god, you dont own the only copy ever created digitally .ISO's are everywhere
 
I had a 500 GB external hard drive filled with music, movies, ringtones and TV shows, but the damn thing died and was only able to recover about 1000 songs, 20 movies and 10 ringtones (I made these in garageband of course). I get ill thinking about all of the music, movies and TV shows I lost.
 
Music, no. I only have like 10GB.

Movies & TV Shows, yes. I have over 1TB.
 
Extra Small

I like to keep my iTunes library as small as possible. I'm at 723 songs at 4.6GB and shrinking. I guess I'm a little picky, but if I don't like the song, I rate it 1 or 2 songs, and take it out. Why would I keep it if I don't like it? I constantly get new music to try, delete what I don't want, and move on with more.

I used to be anal about keeping whole albums in lossless formats, but I've realized that it doesn't really matter. Plus I like having all my songs on shuffle and me enjoying every song that comes up.
 
How are you guys backing up all of your data?

I've got almost 10k songs in iTunes, and have recently started backing up my DVD collection (more so I can watch them via network instead of getting out the DVD). I'd need a 1 TB drive or more just to keep everything backed up. Damn!

Just make a playlist of your best songs and shuffle that.

Why buy music and then delete it?
