My Raptor is only 150GB....
I only have like 100 songs that I actually LIKE a lot. Of your 22,545 tracks how many do you even know or like? >_>
Actually, I did start going through and rating music (I use foobar 2k). After about 5,000 tracks, 600 got rating.
5 stars - 5 tracks
4 stars - 67 tracks
3 star - 144 tracks
2 star - 180 tracks
1 star - 238 tracks
I rate music like the restaurant star rating system used by Michelin. 1 star doesn't mean it's bad, it actually means it's good and and I would listen to again. 5 star tracks are exceptional... the kind of music that just transports you to a different world and makes time stop.
I've found that a lot of older music I once listened to (over 10 years old, many of the CD's I ripped), even though I at one time liked it, is stuck in my past, when I was a different person, and is not listenable anymore.. it's almost like I feel claustrophobic when I listen to that stuff. Same thing for old movies, the type that were a zeitgeist for their time but feel stale now.
So, about half the collection is music that I'll probably never listen to, but included just because that's what collectors, hoarders, and people who want a big e-penis do.
