Purchased: 2,351 songs. 7.1 days. 9.45Gb

My total library is over 18,000 so it's not a huge proportion.

I'd be happy to send anyone the list if they don't believe ;)



:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Richy :p


Mine: 146 songs, 737.5MB... Pepsi Started it all... Also, anyone notice that a credit card is required now? I got mine before that, so none is on file... Anyone else got and account like that?

If you are creating an account at the same time you redeem a gift certificate or card or promotional code then you don't need to enter a c/c I believe, but if you are just creating an account without redeeming anything at the same time you do.
 
611, 1.6 days, 2.39 GB.

A fair portion of that is made up of free songs and the 'extra' songs on an album that you don't pay for (at least when counting $.99 a song... i.e., 14 songs for $9.99). But I've still spent a lot. :rolleyes:
 
~6 purchased from itunes store.

Sound quality of each one fair (barely listenable) through earbuds and poor through Shure E4C's, Sennheiser HD600's, or even through my home amplifier using itunes going through the analog outs of the m-audio audiophile card in my Powermac G5.

On my new 60GB iPod, i have:
~100 purchased CD's (mostly classical and jazz), encoded using Apple Lossless(mostly) and AAC 320
~20 purchased CD's from my girlfriend's collection
~a couple dozen albums transferred from my vinyl collection using a mid-high end VPI turntable and audio hijack
~some home-made performances
~200-300 Limewire mp3's (mostly ~192-256 kbs)

still have >10 podgigs available for photos and portable storage.



If only the itunes store offered 192-256 kbs AAC, I would DEFINiTELY BUY a dozen or more itunes songs each month. 128kbs is simply not enough for anything but the simplest "tune" and, even then, it's not enough to bring out anything more than the tune's tunefulness. I made my own "best of" U2 CD, picking a la carte from itunes, and it sounded HORRIBLE both before and after burning. Actually irritated my ears! I regard the ~$14.99 I spent as money down the drain and would much prefer to listen to the original cassette tapes on a walkman rather than buy another U2 song from itunes.

Go ahead, lynch me.
 
206 songs, 12.5 hours, 759.1 MB.

I had quite a bit more than that awhile back, but I purged my collection of all the free songs to which I never listen.
 
i have a question in regards to iTunes 5 about this, Before i installed iTunes 5 i had a 'Purchased Music' Playlist, now its gone, Is there anyway to get this back and has this happened to anyone else
 
I believe mine is around 120+ but my purchased music playlist got magically emptied. And i am too lazy to search for the files that have protected AAC

I wonder if Apple is "curving" those sales figures. I mean c'mon almost 3,000 songs. :rolleyes:


I was thinking about that too. For example, do they count downloads of the free single of the week? I have bought an audio book and an album or two, but the majority of my protected aac files are the free downloads of the week.

Are these counted? They do make you 'purchase' them and send you a receipt, even though they cost $0.00...
 
75 songs, 4.9 hours, 297.9 MB

Not sure how many I actually paid for... usually try to download the free stuff when I remember and I probably got a good 15-20 free songs from the Pepsi caps.
 
I scored two iTMS gift certificates for my birthday, so my total is going be up.

I just bought the new Gorillaz album, so I'm at a whopping:

39 songs, 3.2 hours, 187.3 megs.

I have a little over $20 credit in my account. Can't think of anything else I want.....
