Title: How Big Is Your Library?
Post by: benn600 on July 08, 2006, 10:42:06 pm

This is an interesting area of discussion just for fun.  I'm really curious how large other people's libraries are.  I know that the majority of MC's customers have huge libraries because if they care that much about their music library to purchase a product which replaces (quite well, but still) a free program like iTunes, Winamp, or the other many worthless music organization programs.  I'll simply list my collection size for comparison but am well aware that many other collections are many times larger.

Please copy & paste this template if you would to make reading easier.

No images or videos worth mentioning.

Do you guys get live concerts from Archive.org?  I'm curious because I would like to get some live concerts for some of my favorite artists.  Thanks!

Audio: now around 22,000 files. In total, around 1500 CDs, 70% of which are APE, the rest are MP3/MPC. My 400 GB external HDD is nearly full. All my CDs are now in storage. When I buy a CD, I rip it, scan the cover art and put it in storage in the space of about 15 minutes.

Images: only the cover art for each of the CDs.

Video: zilch
