354 gig

And yes it did take years to listen to it all. Around 20 in fact.

Nah, JayJamJah has well over 100,00. I kinda' wish I had less songs, but I never have the heart to delete any.

There's no way he has 10,000 gigs.

ProggyMan · 06-02-2008, 09:37 PM

100,000 songs...

That's 354 gigs of music you like or altogether?

Urban Hat€monger ? · 06-03-2008, 12:26 PM

Pretty much all of it is stuff I like. There's a bit of stuff there i've not got around to listening to yet but not that much.

I don't randomly download loads of stuff and keep it. If I don't like something I usually get rid of it there & then.

I think the reason it's quite a lot is because of the number of bootlegs I have. If you were to take my folders of stuff by The Stones , The Cure , The Fall , Bowie & The Clash that would add up to about 50 gig all on it's own with just those 5 bands.

Im running at about 95 gigs at the moment but that doesnt include my stuff on hard copy, which I have never backed up so that would probably squeeze another 15 out.

In the early 90's I (reluctantly) sold over 300 L.P's and at another point 200 C.D's due to raisng a family which broke my heart. Family does come first and although I still have no more money than I did then, I am more prudent with money and will never get rid of anything anymore.

That would take years alone.

Nice collection though.

Well obviously there's a core group of bands I listen to most often, but having to prune the whole thing fairly often I can pretty honestly say that I've listened to almost every album (I'm ignoring ones I've recently bought or downloaded) at least once, and enjoyed them enough to keep them.

According to foobar the total amount of music is only 22 weeks and 3 days.
