What is the size of your physical and digital music collection?

Is it expressly unnecessary?

As someone who just recently passed 80K, I haven't listened to everything I have (yet), but I have listened to most of it. And I like having a WIDE variety at my fingertips--being able to listen to whatever I want should the occasion come up, or being surprised by something cool I find in a random shuffle that I forgot I had, etc.

I suppose it's a personal preference thing.
 
Na its totally cool. The poll you made was way better. I actually came onto this thread and wondered how I could have forgotten making such an epic poll.
 
well the issues is that I bought the music on my old laptop and they won't give it to me on my new laptop. If my old laptop still worked, then they would replace it to me on the old laptop but the issue is that my old laptop is completely unfixable and even though my new laptop uses the same itunes account they won't return the music. Because I think the issue with that would be that a bunch of people could use the same account on different computers and just share music... so I'm not quite sure how to get that music back at this point.... Because I've emailed them and went to the apple store to ask and what they say is pretty much "well I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do about that but why don't you buy a back up hard drive to prevent this from happening again?" :/
 
64.3 gb

constantly growing but i delete things i haven't listened to in a long time

significantly smaller amount of cRAB; i dont own a working record player and dont have much money.

i'd miss out on 99.9% of my music if i solely bought it
 
Wow I'm so sad. Haha. I have nowhere near what most of ye guys have!I only got my laptop in March so haven't done much downloading yet. Lol.
I only have like...1000 songs oO And maybe about 3/4 albums I haven't put on my laptop yet oO
 
Aghhh hassle. 10 for a quid with cases! I'll have to get some more i suppose. My musics on a portable hardrive at the moment because my laptop memory is far too small to carry it all which is a pain, i've considered getting another 100gb hardrive for back-up before actually but my bank balance might put that idea to rest!
 
I just took off the lone Hawthorne Heights album my ex-girlfriend put on there about four years ago.

I don't think I'm gonna regret it.
 
I like having a physical product, but for listening to music, CRAB are not very good I think. I rip them and listen to them on the computer.

It bothers me that the music industry that deals in media etc. has been doing a ****ty job at staying on top of technology. I think CRAB are nice to collect but utlimately impractical. They cost more money to make, you need people working with that. Then it costs money to transport them around .. at last, you need people to sell them in stores somehow. These things are not a problem if you sell music on MP3s or other file-formats. Making copies is free and distribution more or less takes care of itself once you have a working system up.

They should've been selling music files many, many years ago after they first appeared, I think. And they should sell them in such a way that it's easier (takes less effort) for you to get them legally than it does to pirate them.

edit :

I think this poll underestimates the sizes of some people's music collection. Also, as has been mentioned, it may be more useful to look at the total amount of songs or total playtime rather than filesize.
 
it's annoying that i can't seem to back up my music on ext. hard drive without letting iTunes organise it. miss the old filing system. but as long as it's safe who gives? how viable is the data-disc back up option? anybody on here crashed and lost everything yet? if that happened i would cut myself
 
7 gigs for me. Really only started to get into music recently. My collection was only 300 songs 3 years ago but I've built slowly from there and have found some really great stuff.
