wow, i didn't think i'd get this many replies



<< What's funny though is that if you would have asked how many software programs do people have on there computers that they got off the net via morpheus or warez or whatever,this topic would have been locked in a second and you would have been flamed by many people. >>

(chipster)

i was hoping it wouldn't get locked



<< I'm kind of finicky about the quality of MP3s >>

(benchiu)

i'm pretty picky about bitrate too, the only ones i have below 192 bitrate are ones i had to get for friends or relatives that i couldn't find or didn't feel like waiting for them to download (56k modem) :(

i actually have more songs, but they are full CD's that i ripped, and i just put them on backup CD's because i don't like all the songs, but some people do and i'd prefer not to try to download them, i think i have about 20 backup CD's with albums



thanks for replying everyone, it's interesting to see how many you have
VTBigBear, that is crazy, i am obsessed with music, but i don't think i will ever have 11,000 songs, i bow down to the master of mp3's :D

My current playlist (just my Favs) is over 900,
around 7K total, around 55 gigs used,
but I think I might have some duplicates

Quite a few but I am in the process of ripping my 700+ CD collection so I will have many more.

~2,000 MP3/MPC, about 90% of them are ripped from my own or family members collections.
I'd rather buy the CD than listen to poor quality 128 kbps MP3's.

805 songs, 3.06GB.

That's on a 20GB hd. I also have 3 OSes, and 18 movies (DivX). :D

0 on my HDs. 2000 backed up. Ever since I wiped my HD 3 months ago, I've relied on winamp radio and nothing else. It's saved about 8 gigs on my HD.

<< I don't steal music >>


i'm not going to deny it, i've downloaded a good share of my music, or ripped it from other people's cd's so i could listen to it, but a lot of people rip their CD's onto their hard drives





<< How do you back them up? >>



data cd-r's, sometimes i don't :Q

Make that almost none. My IBM drive died and that is where most of them were.

All ripped from CDs I own.

People who steal music need a kick in the teeth. :disgust: It ticks me off that in the future it might be harder to make legal mp3s from my collection because music publishers need to protect themselves from pirates.

Edit: Actually about half of my collection is in .OGG format now. I haven't gotten around to re-ripping the rest of them.
