How many songs are in your MP3 folder?

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Ever since I got laid off back in January I've been downloading songs like it's my job, had like 1600 when I started and now I'm up to a hair short of 2100. And it's not just one genre either, I have stuff from WWII all the way to present day in every genre known to man with the exception to religious music (though I do have a couple Islamic Call to Prayers because they sound cool). How many MP3's do you guys have stored on your computers and what kind of music do you listen to. I really love music of all kinds and if I had any musical talent whatsoever would love to be in the business, but my artistic talent was with drawing and design and the Army pretty much sucked that out of me when I went joined.

I think I have somewhere between 10k and 11k. This includes every song on the billboard top 100 from 1980 or so up to 2009.

Good googely moogely, but wouldn't 30 years of Billboard Top 100 be more than 11K songs? Or is that strictly all you listen to?

[AppleBonker]

Sorry, only the top 100 from the year end charts. So only roughly 3k songs are from the charts.

so does that mean you have boy bands and teeny boppers on there?

Hells yes. And chumbuwumba. Only the best driving music in my car (all my PC music is also on my iPod in my vehicle).

[numbnuts240]

i was jamming out hard to p0ker face in downtown new haven once day. then i turned it to the hip hop station once i crossed the line into the hood. people get shot for that kind of shiz

[AppleBonker]

REGULATORS!!!!! Mount up!

[numbnuts240]

love that song.

on topic, i thing my comp at home has maybe 2gigs of music

idk, i don't dl music anymore

[marlin29311]

I have roughly 1100 songs that fill up about 10GB.

My songs are looooooooooooooooooooong...and I encode at high bit rates.

[flohtingPoint]

I keep all my stuff on an external drive. On hand, right now I have my Opeth, Dream Theater and Meshuggah discographies.

[Kompresshun]

8,758 songs, 40.72GB

I usually download 5-10 new songs a month now and occasionally i'll buy a greatest hits or get a huge song pack so that usually bumps it up. Me and an old friend used to have a DJing business on the side though so that's where the majority of it started from. That and i'm a huge music buff so I download music quite a bit anyways.

[HashiriyaS14]

Only maybe 500. I mostly just use Pandora.

My car picture folder has 27,000+ items in it though. It's getting out of hand.

My playlist is only about 350 songs, much of it classic rock, but some lighter stuff to appease my wife. My son has a couple thousand songs on his. I'm guilty of not adding much to it.

[tiger-SE-R]

Of my music, I have 10319 songs, 38.72gb. When I quit smoking I decided to buy myself a cd a week (with the money I was saving) it added up fast. Transferring all those cd's to itunes sucked and were the longest 3 weeks ever

My wife has another 6000 songs on her drive.

[alphapig]

665 songs 4.5 gigs

I clean out my music periodically, there's nothing in there that I wouldn't like hearing.

Like this hip hop none sense

[ProudNissanFreak]

Just the 3 sample songs that come with Windows 7.

[Looneybomber]

10,216 files.
52.9GB

Probably the first 6-8GB was on Napster with a 56k modem. That took a while!

I've probably downloaded 200 songs in the last 2 yrs. I kinda cut back once I started getting movies. For movies, I have a couple hundred DVD's and another ~2TB of files.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

If I put all of my CD's on my computer I would need more than 1 hard drive, I have close to 300-400 cd's again of practically every kind of music out there. Though the bulk of my CD collection is Goth/Industrial/EBM stuff that you just can't find anymore, though I do have a nice little collection of old school Hip Hop and metal too. I must admit though, that I do like obscure movie sound tracks, stuff that you just can't find anywhere except on Import cd's or foreign labels. Also have a love for J-Pop and J-Rap, can't speak a lick of Japanese but the music is catchy and you don't hear anyone listening to it over here so I get some weird looks when people pull up along side of me in the car. Oh and I love bagpipe music, then again I'm Scot/Irish so it's in my blood.

[breadbox]

16,000 or so I think. Mostly Electronic music. Lots of Discographies. Alot of these files themselves are 70 minute mixes.

I have months of music. I know most of it and where it is on my comp. Quite a few comedy cds as well.

The first mp3s I ever had came from my friend. This was before cd burners were even remotely cost-effective. He had internet before me (yeah 33.6k modem ) and would get music. When I'd come over I'd bring a stack of 3.5" floppies and use windows backup to split the mp3 files across multiple floppies and restore them when I got home. Bet that was slower than you napster/56k combo.

[RCA]

691 files and 5.31GB of music on a 33.5GB HDD...

15.85% of my HDD is music alone...
Any one have a higher ratio?

Holy shiz! I luckily had a 4x cd burner (2x CD-RW) in the late 90's, so that helped, but for transferring multiple songs, a friend had a 64MB MP3 player that we'd put songs on then take them off and put them on to someone else's computer.

Your method of using mutliple 3.5's is the hardest and slowest method I have ever heard of anyone doing. Kudos for pulling it off.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

What bit rate is most of you' guys' stuff? While I do have a few that are 320kb the main bulk of my music files are 128-196kb. Saves space on the HD and unless you really listen you can't really tell with the bulk of it, but some of them you can definitely hear the sound quality flaws if you listen to it with headphones on.

[Otto.]

I have just under 20GB right now but all my music is ripped in lossless formats and all my downloaded stuff is almost always 320kpbs.

I'm so tempted to download the Aphex Twin discography. The size of it doesn't really bother me (15GB)... its how long it's going to take to download.

I should show a screen show of my uTorrent. I have a 176GB torrent, a 51.7GB and a 37.8GB along with some other sub 10GB torrents on my uTorrent right now.

I used CDs once he bought a CD-R drive, but that wasn't until past the mid 90's. I don't think he grabbed the CD writable drive until they dipped just under the $500 mark (which I don't think occurred until about 96-97). But by that point he had cable internet as well, so I hung out at his place all the time anyway.

D:

What could possibly be 176GB?

[RCA]

What bit rate is most of you' guys' stuff?

Yea I am right there with you.

About 8% is 80kps
30% is 128kps
60% is 192kbs
2% is higher than 192kbs
