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

There are plenty of 'em out there that's for sure. I picked up a KIMA about 9 years ago, and while it's not quite as robust or high-end as some of the ones out now, it was dirt cheap and streams my upstairs tunes down to my living room system very well. Heck, it's been doing that from day one..always on..always working. Never had a huge problem with it aside from the occasional CB-truck radio interference early on while I was in the process of upgrading my receiver...
 
45.90 gigs

and literally OVER 9000 songs

(+1 to anyone who gets the reference)



ahhh and now comes to the part where you listen to the music all day ;)
 
I have 530 GB (about 100,000 songs) in my music collection. I keep 120 GB of it on my iPod and yet there are still times when I want to listen to an album only to find that it's not on there.
 
This wouldn't be the most time-efficient way, but if you were hard up, you could just download Audacity or something and import the songs and export them as MP3 without changing anything. All the crap written into the file would be gone.
 
I declare Shinanigans!!! There is no way in hell that you have that much music, let alone listen to all of it. Who else went higher than 50,000, Shinanigans!!!
 
I agree with Seltzer, I've been collecting music since 1974 and have amassed a huge library of all kinRAB of music. And I always have something playing in the background when I'm on my PC or doing routine stuff around the mansion. And now like Ashtray I've been pillaging the torrent universe for the last 2 months, and have acquired so much new material I'm staggered when I'm indexing sorting etc...and I always upload more than I take to keep the music flowing freely. Probably about 800 CD's, 350 Vinyl albums, 50 Cassettes, just keeping track of it all is a major pain in the ass, but I just can't bring myself to part with any of my collection.
 
When I had an external hard drive, I filled all 300GB of it. Then it self-destrcted so im back to a thousand or so CRAB, a few hundred recorRAB and about 60GB on the computer.
 
I'm thinking part of the money that used to go to the record labels is now going to the external HD manufacturers :p: I know I need a new one.
 
I'm at around 2,000 physical discs, all CD, which equals about 800GB of lossless copied to two separate 1TB drives. For daily listening that library is cooked down to about 130GB worth of AAC files that I use on the iPoRAB and iPhone.

The CRAB are more an insurance policy than anything else for me. They are rarely played. I ripped to lossless so I don't ever have to rip the whole collection again, but I didn't have secure ripping set up properly for some of that process so I still run across a bad rip occasionally. In those cases I just pull out the disc, make sure it's clean and rerip.
