Hello all. If you have a moment, please complete the quick survey on our home page. Thanks.

A couple of questions out of curiosity...

How about some absolute numbers of users to go along with the percentages?

For those of you over 100k (7% wow! is that for real?), what was your primary source ? And who has the most?

that was me

Source:

CD, Radio, Tape, LP, 45rpm, 33rpm, Napster, BearShare, E-Music, MP3.com, Blaa Blaa Blaa

131,000 Mp3's, No APE Files!

I Hope This Helps with Your Theses

For those of you over 100k (7% wow! is that for real?)

As to "Is that for real?", I really, really, REALLY doubt it.  As in "KNOW it's BS."  Maybe there are a couple 100,000|PLS| people out there, but not 7%.  Give me a break.  Unless, of course, only a very small number of people have voted so far, duh...  (In which case even one or two people would weigh the results.)

That would be about 320 GB in MP3 format, 3 TB (yes, TERABYTES) in APE format, and about $125,000 to purchase in CDs (but of course, who pays for their music these days? {sarcasm})

Really It Is 712Gigs, With Room To Spare

since at that time there was noone that selected 100,000|PLS| and it is at 6% i would think that at that time less than 100 people took the servey.

[scodan]

Holy crap, I wasn't even close.  You must have primarily 256 kbps and 320 kbps (Edit: actually it's about 5.5 MB per MP3, which is reasonable.  So I suck at math!).

Room to spare?  How much space do you HAVE?  Details for the curious! (and I thought my ~645 GB was good!)

well soon it will be 1 tarabyte (give me 6 months).

Well most are 128kbs, all the cd-roms i have (over 1,000) are riped in vbr and they avarage about 200-210 kbps.

If You Show Me Your Hard Drive I Will Show You Mine.

>> If You Show Me Your Hard Drive I Will Show You Mine.
A Joke

It Is A Total Of 712Gigs (really 832 Gigs) but i am not claiming A 120Gig Drive.

[tej1]

Ah, sorry. I fell prey to the disconnect between relative percentages and absolute numbers.

KingSparta, thats simply amazing.

Are you running all those GB's as a RAID5 farm or something similar?

[KingSparta]

Nope,

Just The Onboard IDE Controler And A Simple Addition Of Another IDE Controler, And A Firewire Controler -> (Firewire: 2 Each 160 Gig Drives (320Gigs))

I kind of like the firewire drives really simple to add drives.
