How much music do you have on your computer?
 
Just under 16gb for me. I expect some members on here to dwarf that pathetic amount with mammoth figures.

Goofle 12-12-2012 07:33 PM

378GB and 67,000 files approximately, including images etc.

Cuthbert 12-12-2012 07:39 PM

Over how long roughly did you acquire all of that?

Goofle 12-12-2012 07:40 PM

Slightly less than three years.

vktr 12-12-2012 07:48 PM

252 GB on the box where I'm playing it from, in total hard to tell :)

Cuthbert 12-12-2012 07:54 PM

I have listened to about 60-70 albums in 2012. Do you lot listen to more than that in a year? How on earth do you manage it?

Slightly off topic that but I collected my 16gb in just over a year.

Goofle 12-12-2012 07:57 PM

I have rated just over 200 albums from 2012 according to RYM and probably listened to a few more and let them slip. I literally do nothing other than listen to music, watch TV/films, play video games and occasionally look for jobs :D

vktr 12-12-2012 08:00 PM

Of course I don't listen to all of them all the time. Think of it as of a library, the bigger the better. You can go and choose whatever you feel like at any time.

I wanted to listen to loads of new music in 2012 and 60ish albums compared to 200+ is not that great. Thanks :mad:

Yeah I've never thought of it that way to be fair, good analogy. Thanks for that one.

I've got 450 GB with around 38,000 files in my music library, accumulated since around October 2010. I'm pretty bad at downloading stuff and taking a long time to get to it so it piles up in a crazy way. It gives me great options when I do decide I want to listen to something new, though! I also try and get everything I can in a lossless formats so they take up a ton of space. I currently have a 500 GB external hard drive for music but I'm upgrading to a 2 TB external fairly soon.

Psy-Fi 12-12-2012 09:00 PM

As of today I have 236GB worth of albums and just over 8GB worth of live music videos.
I've been accumulating and deleting various music files on a detachable hard drive since 2009.

How many similar threads do you think exist?

Deviouz 12-13-2012 01:19 AM

6500 songs, 45gb including album artwork. I have OCD or something mayng! lol

Still hunting for good music and classics!

Norg 12-13-2012 01:28 AM

131,500 songs how ever much that is

Trollheart 12-13-2012 04:59 AM

My main folder on my PC "Trollheart's Music Centre", which is not the only place I have music stored but is the main one, currently stands at 507 gig, equating to 71,200 files in 6,312 folders. The vast majority of this is downloaded (legally or illegally) over probably 5-8 years, though mostly in the last 3, with my CD collection digitised taking up a mere 6.37 gig, 149 folders, 1,497 files.

There's music spread all over my hard drives though (sounds suggestive!) :D with more on external drives and DVDs.

Goofle 12-13-2012 09:08 AM

Emasculating.

Key 12-13-2012 09:10 AM

Just looked at my music backup folder and it shows 40.3 GB of music. So...that.

Moody 12-13-2012 10:01 AM

35gb of music still going.

I used to switch out 4TB drives whenever I passed the 250,000 tunes mark,
but now I keep everything iTunes related on a 16TB RAID. Fits and starts since 2001.
I run scans once or twice a month to get rid of any duplicates or check misspellings, etc.
Statistics are in the following chart (but this doesn't count the thousands of
titles on my computer that aren't actually in iTunes) Outside my computer there
are about 20,000+ discs. Sometimes, I think it's a disease with an uneasy cure.

All I can say is :eek: and you certainly deserve the title of "Music addict"! I assume this is all securely backed up somewhere, preferably more than one somewheres?

Murgatroy 12-13-2012 05:16 PM

I have very little on mine.But i do have a large collection of mp3 CD'S that were downloaded legit from artists blogs and own websites.

Urban Hat€monger ? 12-13-2012 06:19 PM

813 gig, which isn't bad considering I lost the lot 6 months ago, which I lost ironically while I was attempting to back the whole lot up.
