I'm up to around 60 gigs now, how about the rest of you?
About 70% of that is MP3, the other 30% is AAC.
On my second HD:
1,167 FLAC files 35.5 GB
2,265 MP3 files 7.01 GB
I think I have more than a month of music if played straight through.
There's three artists I have more than 24 hours of: Dissecting Table (33:06:19), Nine Inch Nails (28:56:56), The Smashing Pumpkins (28:22:27). Dissecting Table is a prolific Japanese noise/industrial/doom metal artist with 15-30 minute songs. As for NIN and TSP, that's mainly from collecting bootlegs and rarities.
I can't tell the difference between 192 kbps vorbis and a 320 kbps vorbis.
I must be retarded.
>>107 no. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=51289
Vorbis is transparent for most people at -q 4 (~128 kbps) or lower. At 192 (-q 6), you'd have to have really ace sound card, speakers, and hearing to tell a difference.
(Unless you're listening to Autechre's "Second Bad Vilbel". It is notoriously hard for lossy codecs to compress and only sounds right at -q 7, but that's an extreme case.)
60gb of visual kei
5gb of other
Over 71,000 mainly rock songs, 99% of them converted to 320MBps MP3 from CDs or lossless formats, 187GB on my hard drive.
about 500 CDs
about 60 LPs
about 40 7"s
takes up more space than i'd like =\
105 here, I deleted all my FLAC files and I'm starting over.
I'll post the stats by the end of the month.
I know the PERFECT song, Frank Sinatra - Learnin' the Blues. Have fun killing yourself.
About 8gb - 8.2gb, almost all of it is on my iPod because I only have a 10gb HDD in my laptop, most of it is anywhere from 64kbps MP3 (about 5 files), to 320kbps MP3 (about 8 files), with the average bitrate being 192kbps.
i have 2.5 Terrabytes of mp3s right now.
over 300GB mp3s
We're all packrats, almost everyone who posted in this thread. We'll never listen to anywhere near all of it.
I second that. If you look on my iTunes, the majority of the songs have never been played more than once.
Also, I have several GBs of MP3s. Piracy FTW.
Some people just download mp3s for collection purposes. If you think it's dump, I will just say that having a good collection makes you feel more comfortable if friends with different music interests visit your house. More music, more fun
P2P filesharing really needs to improve. If it were possible to easily redownload a song later, I wouldn't feel the need to keep so many.
Why can't the whole internet have a 30 PB collection or whatever that we just play at any time...
Answer: the RIAA and its insistence on dominion even over music that it never had anything to do with.
around 8 Mb of MP3s
Welcome to the black parade - Mcr
Blurry - PM
AHAHAHAHHAhahahahhahhaa!!! Nice! So funny! You killed me! Seriously! :DDDD
>>125
What about all the indie music there? Even freely available netlabel music isn't that easy to access...
About 50-60 CDs, mostly backed up as WMA (old PC) or lossless ATRAC (Sony MP3 player)
Around 80 Vinyl LPs and a couple dozen sigles (Simon & Garfunkel FTW) from my parents (partly comedy)
Some casette tapes, but nothing worthwhile
My music collection isn't that big, but it's still bigger than my penis.
~26Gb. Mostly mp3 (192kbs+) with a couple random albums in ogg/flac.
20GB, I need to delete some stuff.
Okay, I have a question. Everyone keeps talking about downloading FLAC, ogg, musepack, etc. On the networks (pretty much just slsk) I've only ever seen .mp3. where are you guys finding stuff in that format?
>>133 torrents mainly, but I actually used to find the occasional mpc or ogg on kazaa years ago. They're not that rare. Also there are people on slsk with FLACs of some stuff, I found a few while checking out slsk last month (decided to go back to torrents tho).
500 Vinyls (300 from my collection 200 from my parents), some tapes I have to rip before demagnetization, and about a hundred of CD's and DVDs (CDDA, MP3, Ogg, MPC, Flac and Tracker Modules), and not including what is yet to be burned on the HD... Kinda cool.
I've got 7736 songs in my library, ~47% of which encoded in the Ogg Vorbis format. The rest are mostly my old MP3 encodes. I've got tons of CDs waiting to be ripped and encoded, so it'll certainly be well over 50% Vorbis once I get around finishing up the backlog (as if that'll ever happen).
Everything I rip is in 256Kbps AAC, or if I download something in MP3 that's higher than that I convert it. Everything else is just MP3.
In all: 3693 items, 10.4 days, 23.98GB. But the guy next door has about 17,000 MP3s…he can overfill an 80GB iPod with just music, no video or podcasts or anything extra. Shared libraries for the win.
>>135
Kinda cool? That sounds completely unmanageable!
106.6 GB, mostly 256+Kbps mp3 with some FLAC.
16627 songs, 49 days 21 hours 24 mins total.
624gb, 1442 albums, 20147 songs, all LAME-encoded mp3s
FLAC - 2,075 files - 46.6GB
AC-3 (Dolby Digital) - 2 files - 9.63mb
AAC - 53 files - 389mb
MP3 - 6,614 files - 31.8GB
WAV - 5 files - 218mb
79GB total.
>>140
People like you make me want to kill myself.
There's no way you listen to all of that.
It's fucking sad.
>>142
Why would that make you want to kill yourself? I could understand if it makes him want to kill himself, but what's it got to do with you? If you're serious, you should probably see a psychiatrist.
If P2P were legalized, the whole world could just share one music collection. Then we'd keep local copies of our favorites, and stop being such packrats.
I'm looking forward to this.
(I also have too much music to listen to, though not as much as >>140. More than he has in terms of filesize, but it's largely FLAC.)
8 albums on 256kbs ogg vorbis.
Maybe after I get new headphones I will try to make a new music collection. For now though I'm okay with this.
Around 130 gigs or so, most of it in OGG -6 or MP3 -v0. As far as physical formats go, I've got about 90 CDs, 12 vinyl records, and about 50 bootlegs on CD-Rs.
>>145
How'd you get so much ogg while having so little music in physical formats? Is it transcoded? Did you have more CDs and sell them? Download FLAC and encode it?
>>143
I'd pull the plug if that happened. Let me organise my music and metadata myself.
>>147 likes busywork.
I've got around a thousand CDs, much of which I've since digitized into mp3. Don't know what the full volume of data is these days.
>>149, I have to point out the obvious: CDs are already digital.
36GB, mp3s all over the place as far as bitrate is concerned !_!
I've posted in this thread a few times, my collection is ever changing, I depleted my FLAC collection was going to go to Musepack, but now I'm going back to FLAC, this is actually the third or fourth time I've deleted my entire collection only to find out that I want to go back.
>>150
True enough. Substitute 'convert' for 'digitize'.
10gb or so, in about 1,400 files.
mostly Mp3s, 256kbps or VBR set to 256kbps average, but copious amounts of Oggs in varying bitrates and a sprinkling of everything else.
On top of that, maybe 80 discs, legitimate and bootlegs - Mostly of things you can't find on the internet (Copious amounts of Russian music for one. Infact, it's entirely Russian music and Classical, I think the only exception is Dark Side of the Moon.. I haven't touched any of it since I ripped it all to mp3.)
It's a relatively puny collection and most of it is stored on my 8gb mp3 player, but I mostly listen to internet radio anyway - I only need enough music to hold me over for the few hours each day when I can listen to music, but can't get on the internet.
