How much music do you have on your comp?
 

With the RIAA threatning people with large fines, I think it might be amusing to determine how much music some of our members have on their comps.

I'll start it off by saying I have a meager 650+ a few, for a total just over 6 gigs.

I've got about 7500 songs in mp3 format - probably about 6000 of them have been ripped from CDs I own. I'm very rarely on the PTP networks anyway.. I tend to just download a single album as a "preview" - if I like it, I always try to buy the CD. Ironically for me the p2p networks have actually ensured I buy MORE CDs as I can test drive more songs.

'bout 16 Gigs. Want some ;-)

I only have about 140 songs in MP3 format. Most of them are live performances, covers, and other stuff I hadn't heard before previewing it on p2p.

I've probably only purchased 20 CDs my whole life, 15 of them were because I liked what I heard on Mp3 :)

67.3 gigs on the mp3 HDD.

that, loaded into WinAMP, is -
Files : 13985
Total Length : 1082 hours 6 minutes 3 seconds

:eek:

mostly full proper albums btw.

and there's about 20 gigs mp3's elsewhere, either on my PC or on DVD-RAM.

:D

(ps) and well over 100 purchased Audio CDs too, btw. so it's not just mp3's.

lets see....2978 songs. for 8.7 days of music that comes in at 13gigs. I'd says 90% or so is ripped from my own CD's.

1685 songs About 8.5 gigs i know thats a HUGE ratio but i have ALOT of mixsets that are anyware beteen 30-90 min long...god bless cable modems

iwould say 2 or 3 of the songs are ripped....but in deffence %90 of the music i listen to is only avaliable on vinyl

8 gigs, rock! i love them and would bring my laptop before dog if my house was on fire

I've got about 7 gigs one one computer and another 2-3 on another.

326 mp3 and ogg files. About two and a half gigs total.

5.97 gigs.

800 or so songs off of Kazaa Lite, countless live shows

2744 files -> 17 gigs

Seeing as how the RIAA might read this and sue my ass...none
*wink wink

only about 1 gig, the rest is on about 30 mp3cd's for use in my mp3cd player. I convert all my legal cd's into mp3s too.

My HD is tiny so I have only 2 gigs.

I have a little over 56gb with around 8600 files (a few full album propers, a lot of 70 minute DJ sets)

my full albums list is here: http://www.stickfigurepeepshow.com/albumlist.php

i have around 4 gigs of mp3s... many dj sets so not many mp3's

Approx 6 gigs. Most of it one time listens or never listened to. I'll download a full cd listen to it once maybe twice make a decision of if its worth buying or not and then never end up deleting the songs out of laziness.

18 Gigs all from CD's me and my roommates own.

a measly 3 gigs, but I got it all at 56k. Que 'em all up, go to bed, and hope for the best.

I have 852 songs on my hard drive. Mostly one-hit wonders, I really didn't need the whole Starland Vocal Band album, and if I had bought it, how much money do you think the orginal writers and performers of the song would get? None. Friggin' lawyers and industry asshats? Plenty.
I also own almost 500 CDs, which I love.

3.6 GB in cd-sized directories.

I just got Broadband, now I need a new hdd so I can go nuts :)

22.4GB Here Most of it's legit except for some of the hard to find trance and other stuff that isn't readily available for purchase at your local music shop.

12,000 mp3s which translates into almost 85 gigs. 90% full albums. Most good quality (128 kbps bites my ass).

i have just over 3000 songs, weighing in at about 12gigs or so. half albums, half various mp3z. i tend to burn most of the albums i download to conserve space for more.

I burn them and you just can't beat having an mp3 CD player in your car. 180+ songs on one CD. I've got 5000 songs on less than 40 discs. Its great. If you drive a lot and can afford it I recommend getting one to any lover of music.

actually it's kinda of funny, I've downloaded less music since getting broadband as opposed to my 56K days. But anyways I have 415 songs, 1.69 GB, so I'm a lightweight compared to some of you guys.

1459 files, most of them downloaded

Another relatively small collection here - 529 mp3's coming in at 2.7 GB.

I have 13.7 gig. I have my hard drive partitioned and have one partition just for my music. I have tons of live music and all of the cd's I've bought in about the last month on there.

Right now I have 36 different Pink Floyd shows on my hd along with a few Metallica shows I dl'd from the MetVault from the new album.

I have seven full albums, all of which I own. Don't listen to music on the PC much so haven't bothered to rip many.

Aside from the moral factor I would sooner spend a little money on a CD than go through the hassle involved in downloading music.

Edited - I can't count.

Before I formatted, it was something like 20-25 gigs of music. Now its back down to a measly gig.

I'm fed up with downloading. I get too many incorrectly titled files and poor quality files. I know there are ways of getting around that, but I'd rather spend the money on the CD these days. I download a couple songs here and there to see what I want to buy. I backup every CD I own.

Not much, I only store them until I burn them. Once they're burned I get ridda dem. Usually I have roughly 50-100mb at most at any given time. In other words, my pc is more of a music port than music device.

about 70 gigs legit cd , tape and vinyl rips or older MP3.com when it was free not much of questionable nature its so much easier to stream than cds I have a mp3 server doing seven zones in my house and a I-Pid so ????

40GB in 2700 files
After Napster I started buying CD's at 6 times the rate at which i had before. I'm at about 1 per month now, as opposed to 2 per year. All of the ones I've bought since have been stuff I've found through file sharing.

About 9 gigs worth on my server.

Plus, over 250 cds
about 100 cassettes
150-200 albums (vinyl for you young folk)
and several 45s.

Kind of a music freak.

The collection stems from jazz to metal to country to comedy and beyond.

BTW, the vinyl collection includes 96% of the entire KISS collection, including imports. There's only a few that I don't own on vinyl.

12 Gigs

1122 songs, 7.69 gb
they are also all on my 20gb zen mp3 player. :)
