How many gigs of music on your hard drive/Stats

[mistermeow]

Just wondering how many gigs of music everyone has on their hard drive, and how many separate tracks/songs.

I have 31 gigs of music and about 3600 songs.

What artist/band has the most unique songs>100(no re-encode)
496 tracks - Christian Death
270 tracks - Black Sabbath
200 tracks - Jimi Hendrix
133 tracks - Ozzy Osbourne
131 tracks - Gackt
110 tracks - The Beatles

[Kaboon]

I have 40.9 gigs of music and about 5700 songs.

None of the artists matches a > 100 songs but here are the most popular:

43 tracks - DJ Promo
41 tracks - The Prophet
36 tracks - Angerfist
31 tracks - Dione
25 tracks - Neophyte

And there's a > 100 one after all, but I guess that doesn't count;

123 tracks - V.A.

:D

[edit] Thread moved over to a more suitable forum btw.

[NJK]

My last fm page (http://www.last.fm/user/philybaby/)says that I've listened to 2 more Nirvana tracks than I have Stones.

[mrd00d]

What if the RIAA or Ohio U is watching? I could be forced to watch an 8 minute anti-piracy video!

39.6 gigs of umm...'stuff' last time I checked.

[swingdjted]

That's Ohio University that you're talking about I think. They're #1 in piracy these days according to the newspaper.

Kent State is in the top 20, other Ohio colleges aren't in the top 20 that I've heard about.

[mrd00d]

Heh, thanks for the correction. I should know but sometimes I skim the stories I post and don't hit every single detail. I recently posted a story about the RIAA and a university in Ohio that punishes students by making them watch an anti-piracy video to Breaking News.

hahahahahha

*goes to edit his previous post*

[swingdjted]

Yeah, there was a story in the Akron Beacon Journal 2-22-07 about that - made the front page. I thought it was funny too that they're making the offenders watch a dumbass video. They do make the offenders show the process of deleting the files from the computer too (under university supervision), and that's all on first offense.

Second offences can mean fines.

Apparently the RIAA can't figure out who exactly the offender is on campus, just that it was a student from that network, so they leave it to the University to monitor and enforce the first couple offenses, and if they don't show proof of enforcement, they sue the university.

At the university in my town (Akron), they usually slap on rather huge fines ($2000.00 - $10,000.00) on the first offense without sympathy, and they make headlines every time a student gets busted, so piracy is much less a noticeable problem here. Students that do share music generally know how to keep it quiet (direct portable HDD transfers, etc.).

on my laptop and almost 150 GB on my external hdd which can be hooked up with my laptop, car radio and xbox. :p

[QOAL]

A tiny 8.54 GB (Yay I have the second smallest)
(I have some other music but I can't be arsed to tell winamp where it is as it not much)

1939 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:00
Estimated playlist length: 129 hours 47 minutes 7 seconds
(2 tracks of unknown length)

Only Nightwish is > 100 (108)

[northface25]

I HAVE ABOUT 80,000 SONGS (380GIGS) ITS ALL ON AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.http://i23.tinypic.com/swvdic.png

[ulillillia]

I probably have the least of all. Including duplicates and test files, just 2.4 GB. Ignoring duplicates and test files, a measely 0.9 GB and that's all in WAV files (true speed is either 50,000 or 100,000 Hz, either 8 or 16-bit, and always mono). I have less than 100 songs, but with changing the speed (by modifying the sample rate), this seems more like 2000 and the songs are listened to sometimes for days or even weeks on end (my current one is approaching 3 weeks with over 14,000 plays in Winamp).

[DocHoncho]

i'm lame, i only have 3gb... better get torrenting... wait, i didn't just say that out loud, did i?

[swingdjted]

3gb would probably be quite a good amount if you only wanted what was really good.

It would fit on most modern day mp3 players, so it's actually not bad at all.

It's all a matter of practicality. If you have an eclectic taste and a wide variety of music to enjoy, it might be hard to have limits, but a lot of people have a specific taste, where it doesn't take a server full of hard drives to store what you need.

[fc*uk]

Holy shit, Ypsi. I went to college in that city.

Music. Well, traktor is telling me that the stuff I use to DJ with only is 28.4 gig. Christ, the money that I have spent on that. 1817 tracks at .... nope, not going to think about it.

[BastardKidKris]

66.8GB
11,002 songs

Rush - 194
Porcupine Tree - 178
Faith No More - 142
In Flames - 139
Pearl Jam - 135

Didn't take the time to check that. But now that I have, no, it is not.

I fired off a pm to the user about post pumping and if I saw one more bullshit post from them I was going to ban the account.

Seems the person left after the PM.

[swingdjted]

Thanks. I was hoping to find something meaningful in all those posts to no avail; had to restrain myself from starting some kind of flame war with the person. I probably should have just ignored it completely. Thanks for looking into it and giving the PM though.

[Canticle Drawl]

I have about 172GB of music. Around 8000 songs or so.

[swingdjted]

21.5 MB average song size? Must be long, uncompressed tracks.

For now, my average sound file size is 6.278 MB.

[deeder7001]

49.1GB ~8000 tracks.

U2(185) and Diana Krall(168) have the most tracks.

[pjkaka]

about 4450 songs. Have it scattered all around, so can't be sure of the gig.

This post reminds me that I need to get my music organized

[! 4Tex]

if i would say, i'll have to kill you! :D

[NJK]

A lot has changed in a few years

over 900 GB and still counting

[gaekwad2]

303.8

[Psythik]

63.63GB
4544 songs
45 Days, 10 hours, 7 minutes, and 18 seconds
Most common artist is Bob Marley w/398 songs

My music collection is pathetically small... :(

[swingdjted]

yeah, because ONLY 63 gigs of music is small :igor:

[Psythik]

^ When you have almost 3TB of hard drive space 63GB is small. :) Ideally I'd have enough music to be able to not hear a single song twice in a year.

[! 2 !]

I have over 33GB and counting. With more of trance and electronics(sib-genre) stuff.

[WavestreamingCo]

I have in the ragion of about 16,000, not even going to look at the amount its using up! :P

Not sure what takes up the most, probably a big collection of all the Now albums!

James

[! 2 !]

Just to update, i got 4GB of more trance/euro-dance sets collection.

[vero216]

18 gb never heard one song i just use youtube or radio to listen music i hate to create lists i love dj selections its variety give meaning.

[fc*uk]

Since it has been bumped.... I've upped the ante. Still 100% legal.

[Widdykats]

I feel so small.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[fc*uk]

^Awwww ... just get some more then ;)

My live set recordings which is mirrored from my laptop to my imac is also another 40 gig, but that does not really count.

[Widdykats]

^ IT COUNTS!!!:p

[Warrior of the Light]

64

[randumbradio]

Id have to guess about 100+

[Xtimer]

I only have 4 gig of music on my computer because I mostly use YouTube to listen to music.

[rockouthippie]

17, that all have legit CD's.

[MattHurst]

Last time I checked I had around 64 gigs sitting on my hard drive, and I'm officially out of space on my iPod. On the plus side, just about all of my music was obtained legally, and at least half of it stays in permanent rotation.

[adelina]

over 320 GB

[fc*uk]

Heh.

Since I last posted, that music folder has grown to 56 gig, which means about 5 gig added in four months. All promos or current releases going back maybe a year. The "old stuff" that I've kept is maybe the same size, but archived off.

That recordings folder I spoke of weighs in at 33 gig.

Still 100% legal.

[inevitablewilli]

20gigs..i think its pretty less. I am still arranging various albums from my friends so will get my HDD full soon.

[jvezirian]

Currently

205 Gigs of music @ 5703 Albums, over 84,000 songs

3500 music videos @ 200 gigs

[NJK]

update time

last count was 900 gb

at the moment over 3 TB

and still counting.

[Widdykats]

^OCSEs9PR7qc&feature=related:p

[fc*uk]

^kitteh is deh pirate.

Music is weighing in at 67.31 gig, recordings weigh in at 40.97 gig.

In about a years time... I've slowed down.

As always 100% legal, only current tracks that I would play out...

I dunno why, but I always feel compelled to post in this thread every time someone bumps it.

Mas tequilas porporver!

[cjsnow1]

23 Gigs

~4000 songs.

[rusev_ivo]

Around 10 gbs

[sierraskatherine]

[SergeMonrois]

[daverafa]

^ holy jesus. O_O

[lincon]

55 gig and ~9000 tracks. My most popular artists by track count are Smashing Pumpkins, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones

[Sabine Klare]

If I don't count the sound-samples of my musician-software, then I am currently between 8300 and 8400 items (audio & video), over 296 GB (maybe I will hit the 300 GB soon), and I have not only music from ripped CDs, Bandcamp and the Internet Archive, also many very good live mixes & podcasts from SoundCloud and Official.fm...
I have no Rock & Pop, Jazz & Blues, Hard Rock & Heavy Metal etc., only music from the Electronic Genre Family: Chillout, Ambient & Downtempo, Deep House & Tech House or whatever...
If I mention some of very much artists, the other people will say: "I don't know this artist, never heard something about him or her!", because all these artists are far away from the "Top Ten", incl. me...
And after I have made this post, the next podcast will be uploaded on SoundCloud, and I will download it, too... :cool: :D :winamp:
