On my harddrive:

8024 songs, but that doesn't include songs I have on other computers elsewhere, like home.

For the record, bragging about how many songs you've downloaded (illegally) is like bragging about how many imaginary friends you've dreamed up.

I like that analogy Nick.

Since piracy has become a topic within this topic, do you guys see any difference between downloading an album illegally and borrowing a cd from a friend, ripping it to your hard drive and later returning the cd to him/her?

Yes, because then at least half of the people involved paid for it. In pirating it's one person uploading it for THOUSANDS of others to download.

*Playing devil's advocate*

Yes, but at the same time you have access to music that you personally did not pay for at someone else's expense. You're getting music for free either way.

Edit: Also, by that logic, if half the people that downloaded it illegally eventually wound up buying the album (Maybe the want to support the artist anyway), would that justify pirating the album?

True, that's a completely fair enough argument that I wouldn't call 'wrong' per se, but I think proportionally it's different.

I'm not denying that either  :lol
I'm just pointing out things that are fucked up with the copyright laws. How one instance of getting free music is a-okay, but another is not.

Bragging about how much music you've downloaded is definitely lame, but bragging about how much you've bought doesn't make much sense either. Congratulations, you have a large disposable income.

No.  If you don't have the legal right to own a digital copy, it doesn't matter how it was illegally obtained.

On a similar piracy note, would you guys consider buying used music to be 'legit'?

That depends on what you mean. At that point you're not really a customer of the band or their label, but a customer of whoever sold it to you. I've bought a lot of stuff used and I don't see how it would be much less legitimate. And buying used has the benefit of adding indie points!

Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Yes, because the person who sold it gave up their rights to the music.  You have to assume the seller did not keep a digital copy.

Man, this piracy issue was so much simpler when the only choice you had was to use cassettes.

About 1,000 songs. And tons more CDs that I intend to import. 99% legit. (iTunes scammed me when I tried to download the Nightmare album. I think it was only fair to video2mp3 it. Even though I wound up getting the short end anyway because of the crap quality and lack of bonus features.) :(

On my computer I have all the stuff for my radio show which includes a lot of stuff put on by my co-host. It totals 161 gigs and 21,000+ songs. However Jeff does pirate a lot of stuff so I'd say about 15,000 of those are legit.

I don't have a great deal on my computer, at the moment I only have about 60GB.

But I own at least 1600 legally bought cd's.

Pish... Nerd. Bragging is awesome. Have you ever heard rap? I'm like the best bragger ever.  :hat

1529, songs 5.9 days long, 14.93 GB.

Most of it is from my CDs. Some illegal downloads. Most of them I downloaded a few years back on lime-wire or audio versions of live DVDs that I already bought.

Couldnt begin to try...since I dont keep much music on my hard drive as far as CD's go...probably about 1200  all obtained legally..any music on my hard drive was put there by me for either my MP3 player or one of my kids....My libraries are all over the place some in Itunes..Most in Windows Media they will stay there for awhile than get deleted since I have the CD already

1898 songs.


As far as the music purchasing discussion, my train of thought with music goes like this

>do they sell it in physical form?
>If yes, do I care if I have it in physical form? >Yes, buy it >No, look into digital purchase/not available in physical form
>Available for digital purchase?
>No?
>Pirate that shit

I kind of agree to this. There are just some things that aren't available at a reasonable price any more, like old singles and EPs from the 80s and 90s that were hard to find on CD or weren't on CD at all. Somehow, someone, somewhere, has made them available in digital form for downloading, and that's cool because it's either that or pay some eBay seller a ridiculous amount of money for what amounts to 20 minutes of music. To me, that money doesn't go to the record company so it doesn't affect the RIAA if I don't BUY some insanely overpriced rarity.

I will always buy the physical form music if it's new, relatively new, or relatively cheap for how old/rare it is. Otherwise, other routes will be taken, but this only amounts to about 2-3% of my collection.

Speaking of which, I'm a little over 10,000 songs, which come from around 700 albums (all purchased and physically owned)... and still many more to go (just received 4 in the mail today!)...

250 gig hd....40K+ songs
40 gig must have at work
8 gig travel drive for bringing things to and fro.


some cd's left over from the mid sized collection that once got to near a thousand. i'm down to about 150 maybe.

music collections that exceed 1, 2, 5, 10 terrabytes are not unheard of.

250 gig is a tiny little prog/metal collection with some standard pop fair mixed in there
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.
