Music Library? I use Itunes and have 232 gbs of music. Roughly 38000 songs. :xbones

That's gotta be hell to sort through in itunes.

Yeah. It sucks but I am very OCD about my music so I have spent hours organizing it perfectly with the correct ID3 tags
-
As many as my iPod can hold. If I had all of my music on my computer in my library, the 64 GB wouldn't able to hold it all.
-
I'm proud to say that I only have bought CDs and some legitimate free-download material on my iPod. So I don't have that much music right now...like maybe 900 songs only.

How much of that do you legally own? ;)
-
Hehe, I was just to ask about the same... :\
-
In the immortal words of Graham Chapman as King Arthur, "Jesus Christ"!!
I only have 17728 songs and I've been collecting CD's since the 1987!!!
-
About 7500. Not bad for someone who's only really been into music for 2-3 years, eh? :millahhhh

Penis? Well that would be me :biggrin:

At your age, I can only assume 1% is legitamately owned.
I have 6886 songs, 25.8 days of music, 46.21 GB of music, but that's only my prog & metal, and it's all legit. Probably another 15-20 GB if I ripped the remainder of my CD's, but I'm not going to take the time to rip stuff I'm not going to listen to.
I also have about 30 CD's coming to me within the next month or so. Would be sooner if Century Media wasn't holding my entire order until the last pre-order is ready to ship :censored
-
3496 items in iTunes, 11:01:41:10 total time, 23.99 GB. Not claiming it's all owned, because I borrowed a LOT of CDs from my friends, step-brother, step-dad, and dad. I think I have around thirty-five CDs, all bought within the last year approximately, so eventually I'll have a lot.
That's gotta be hell to sort through in itunes.

What options? I might be using them and not even know it.
-
As we are a prog forum: 11,3678 prog songs, all legally bought. Probably a few thousand rock, blues, classical and jazz songs as well, bought legally.
But I'll admit I copied quite a collection of rock songs from a friend.
Can't listen to it all, though... That's why I try not to buy too much new stuff.
I mostly fail... :lol
-
11,3678 prog songs
You know, something is bothering me here. How many CDs does this equal when the average prog album has from about 5-9 songs on it? Some with even less.
-
Over 15k songs on my ipod, 30gb additional on an external hard drive.
-
5729 songs, 67.79 GB, 18 days 20 hours 7 minutes 35 seconds
I'll be honest: ~5% legitimately owned.
-
8077 songs, 85.74 BG, 29 days, 17 minutes, 28 seconds.

6302 songs, 21:22:04:37, 41.48GB. I've got 60 ish CDs at last count and the rest is downloaded off Legalsounds, which may or may not be legal at all, but it costs money so naively assumed it was.

:facepalm: :facepalm: It's being talked about all across the internet. They're not going to shut down connections for merely mentioning it, and more and more countries are saying "this is fucking stupid" anyway. Don't fall for the /*/ hysteria.
Let's not derail the thread, though.

I probably should have made my post in sarcasm green. My bad.

Ah, sorry. You never know, with all the 100% genuine "ITS THE END OF THE INTERNETS!!1" posts.

1894 songs, 7 1/2 days of runtime, 24.62 GB. Everything legally obtained.

Well it's just a general rule of thumb to take my posts with a tablespoon of salt.
Unless I'm discussing Nevermore. Then I'm all like srs bsns and shit. Anyway, back to the original point of this thread.
Winamp > iTunes
:neverusethis:

I've never touched winamp. I just use what uses up the least processing power because my laptop is ancient. So I basically use VLC for music. :millahhhh

About 7500. Not bad for someone who's only really been into music for 2-3 years, eh? :millahhhh
Woah, I'd have guessed you'd have been into music for way longer! I'm the same, and Green Day were the gateway band for me. :facepalm:

Well, more like 5, but yeah, I was twelve then and it was just stuff like Green Day, The Offspring and some gateway metal like Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold. I've been into Dream Theater for about four years but haven't really been obsessed with finding new stuff and exploring other genres until I joined DTF and last.fm

Well, Stupid Dream and Recordings would be two of those albums :neverusethis:

Well you're doing better than me. I'm 25 and didn't really get into music until 3 or 4 years ago. Before that (except for rap which I kinda followed off and on both "mainstream" and underground) I mostly would listen to the radio, fully aware that I hated a lot of what I was listening to. Still, most of the bands I actually liked back in the day I still enjoy (Soundgarden, AIC, Metallica, Foo Fighters, quite a few classic rock bands, etc).
I always enjoyed a pretty broad spectrum of music, I just didn't make any effort to find/get music I liked. I'm not sure what finally made me start exploring new stuff and actually listening to more music, because I have no musical background whatsoever and it was never a priority. I'm sure lurking here contributed.

The music in my actual library is all purchased (except for torrented stuff I don't like and forgot to delete). I'm all for torrenting but I'm a piracy Nazi.

Most of it actually. I have been buying since I was 5. Plus my dad has a great. Collection as well. Are they putting laws into effect or something? I mean there are laws already but....

Heh, someone beat me to it.
For the record, bragging about how many songs you've downloaded (illegally) is like bragging about how many imaginary friends you've dreamed up.
-
On my harddrive:
8024 songs, but that doesn't include songs I have on other computers elsewhere, like home.

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.

Bragging about music is lame period :facepalm:
-

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!
-
7 inches lo...
:|
-
On a similar piracy note, would you guys consider buying used music to be 'legit'?
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.) :(
-
7 inches lo...

Surprised it took so long
-
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.

Re-read the thread, I beat him to the joke. :P

Dammit Nic!
(see wat I did there? ololo)

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.
-
Here's the conclusion: Bragging's lame.

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.
-
itunes says 5599, but I must have more on my Windows Media Player.
-

Bragging isn't lame when your cd's can fill up 3 walls.

:hefdaddy

Guys I wasn't trying to brag it was just a topic to talk about sorry if it came off that way!
-
I have 50 bazillion songs. 8.5 years long. 20 quadrillion terabytes.
-
2031 songs, 7 days, 12.56GB most of it it is legal. I don't pirate anymore.
-
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
