<< << << I guess copyrighted mp3's are different in some peoples eyes. >>


Why are you making such dubious assumptions? I rip my original CDs to a lossy format like MP3/MPC so I have instant access to them on my PC. Just because an .mp3 exists on a drive doesn't mean it's illegitimate. >>

I'm not saying that everyones Mps3's are not legit but you would have to agree that with some of the amounts that these people posted,you could pretty well figure that they don't have all those songs in there original collection.

I don't have a problem with how many mp3's people have,they could have 50 gigs for all i care. All I was saying is that this would have been locked and he would have been flamed if the topic was copyrighted software and not music,thats all.

739 in 5 gigs.

Quite a few of them are whole albums, so the actual number of songs should be higher...

about 400 or so, 95% are ripped from my own CDs. I'm kind of finicky about the quality of MP3s and its hard to find people that have good quality ones.

VTBigBear - You got that many only taking up 44G? My 5000 take 45G. All are 192bit or above though. Some VBR 192-320.

i am probably the winner. I HAVE 20gb MP3s in my hdd and about 130cds with mainly MP3s written on.
20gb + 130 x 650mb. = 104.5gb?
how many files? i do not know :D

I've been "collecting" since they came out with MP3 way back in the day... Prolly in the thousands by now... I'm still amazed that my 5 year old TDK CDRs still work! They have my U2 album complilations so I play them to death...

I have at least 25+ CDs worth and a few gigs on my HD right now... that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 16Gigs

I can't stop... currently at about 110GB... Have no idea how many individual files that is. 90% of them are full albums at 192Kbps CBR or above. Some are VBR (not many though).
