He must have A LOT OF CRAP. I have like 20gigs of only music I have ripped or own(but downloaded). So it is only music that I like.

How much of that does he ever listen to though? Sounds more like an exercise to see how much he can get than what he wants to actually use.

I have something like 130gb. All rap. I would say at least 20gb of it is very rare. I have a playlist that includes all of these songs and just put it on random. Granted the playlist, if played continuous, is over 50 days. I leave it running at all times.

Are you my neighbor? I swear all she seems to do all day is play rap music, it's always on except in the middle of the night.

yeah, but what is the file quality on them? file size doesn't mean TOO much for number of tracks. I have 20GB of music, which is about 4500 mid-quality to piss poor quality files. If you are telling me that he has 63000 files, I don't think I would believe you. Now, if you are telling me he has about 15000 HIGH QUALITY files, then yes, maybe.


I would like to see a screen shot of files, with the properties dialouge box showing.

He's gone thru his CD collection and couple other friends' collections, too. Rips, on average, about 6-8 CDs/day. He uses VBR with, uh, EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and LAME encoder.

It makes for a nice jukebox when hooked to a home theater system ;)

Nobody lowered prices on nuthin'! I have to shop K-mart for cheap CD's and I get is Rick Springfield!

I got about 27GB, mostly 160 bit, = 5500 titles. I recorded my CD collection.. I never got into napster or any of that stuff.

I have 3 friends that are DJs, they have all their music as MP3s. Thay each have ~300GB of which they use maybe 80GB. Other than being a DJ, I dont see a point for such a collection... (other than bragging value).
