How many songs do you have on your iPod/in your collection

It was a sad day and a huge argument with the shipping company, who incidentally never paid up in the end. They claim someone must have done it either before or after they were involved. Sadly, I was away on day of shipping so cannot verify. Someone may literally have walked up the tailgate of the lorry and lifted the box into the back of their car. Bloody heavy though!

 

20,000 songs roughly. everything from old x-japan demos and gigs from when they were still in school to the latest metal and rock albums. and of course a heathy dose of select music from games and anime

 

Would it be illegal? Once upon a time you paid for that music so don't you have the right to own it in some form? Of course if the authorities ever knocked on the door you wouldn't have any proof that you originally owned them but I think we all know that'll never happen in the UK anytime soon.

I don't know anything about copyright law by the way. So please someone fill in the blanks.

When I came back to England in November I discovered my parents had sold all of my music CD's at a car boot sale without my permission, I went ahead and downloaded them to replace what I had lost. I may be breaking the law but the fact that I once owned them helps me sleep at night and I certainly have no worries about the fuzz taking me down.

For new music I just use iTunes, it's pretty painless and the prices are getting better.

 

My collection contains 65,000+ tracks in about 6,000~6,500 albums. It's a mix--from largest to smallest--of CD, vinyl, and cassette.

 

My ipod only has 6,179 songs right now (18.3 days), but I'm out of space on it and have well over 200 Gigs of music (cds, digital copies, etc.). I wish they made larger ipods...

 

Some of these collections are savage. 3141 Songs, 17.74gb. The vast majority (95-98%) is 192K ripped from my own CD collection. I have an extra 2gb not included in this of some game soundtracks and remixes of those soundtracks (from NG Audio, OCremix etc etc).

I have some albums not fully ripped (Mario Galaxy, Bran Flakes, NiGHTS into Dreams, Rhythm Tengoku, The World Ends With You spring to mind..) It's all been listened to at least once- some play counts are at 0 since I transferred all my music across from my first PC to another laptop, and finally this one about 3 years ago.

My laptop has recently become my 'music centre', thanks to USB soundcard pumping music (all audio for that matter) through my big Stereo. I the ease of Media Player allowing me to put on what I want, track what I haven't listened to, see what I've listened too most, and see when I added it etc etc etc. I used to just put a CD on but theres no going back from this.

I have a 16gb Nano and I have that filled, so about 1gb or so is stuff I don't really listen to too much. I'm going to need a bigger hard drive soon, I have about 14gb left.

 

I am the type of person who likes to buy all my music on Cd, so no downloads for me at all! I record every Cd I buy (Except the ones I keep sealed) onto my hard drive, and currently have approx. 32,000 tracks recorded, and at some point in my life I have listened to them all! (I usually listen to them at least once after recording to make sure they copied Ok). These are all backed up on a 500GB external drive

I'm not one of these iPod bandwagon people either, and my affiliation lies entirely with Sony and the Walkman. My Walkman of choice is a 20GB NW-HD3 which serves its purpose - I only really keep my favourite tracks on there rather than have a device to store my entire library on. That said, my Walkman gets very little use these days as I prefer (For conveniencce) to use my mobile phone, which I think has a fantastic sound output - Hence why I stick to using my Nokia N91 for day to day useage, even though i've upgarded three or four times since. Again, I only really keep my favourites on there for repeated playback.

To be honest, there's no reason why anyone would ever need more than about 8-16GB worth on them at any given time. 2,000-4,000 tracks is more than ample to carry around with you. But believe me, I struggled to narrow my 1,000 favourites down to fit my 4GB phone hard drive the first time I loaded it with tracks! Lol!

It really is amazing how many songs our human brains can remember!

 

I don't need to have millions of tracks on my mp3 player, since 99.9% of all music is unhearbale crap anyway.

 

I'm sitting at about 6589 total songs.. pretty much all of them from my CD collection, very few digital downloads.... my 8 Gig Zune fits more then enough music for when i'm out and about....

One thing of note.. is that i find as i get older.. i'm extremely selective about music, and and just as happy to listen to something from the mid 90's then the majority of more recent music.. save for a select few groups..

 

You're not alone, and now I know how my parents felt, although to be fair I think even the majority of the youth today hate the current music and are quite accustomed to older music from the 80's and 90's, so it's like a second coming for us 20-something's

 

I'm finding the opposite. When i was 13 i was extremely selective*and stupid* if it didn't have screaming or guttural growls it was crap to me*except x-japan always held my interest*. Then from 16 on *still young though 21* It just keeps expanding. Country, blues, jazz, All metal, rock, pop and mixes of these together make up my music collection. Its weird.

up to 117 GBs now. not including well over 100 CDs

 

Getting rid of my gigantic CD collection is going to be the hardest...

 

60 gigs
