Man, my library is truly paltry in comparison. It's currently sitting at 840 songs, 2.2 days, 9.90GB. 179 of those are lossless and 458 are at least 256kbps.

I only keep songs that I listen to, though, which isn't the case for most people I've met with supercolossal libraries...

Well, I've often admitted here that a lot of my library is stuff that I don't even like, let alone listen to. I am intentionally trying to build a large selection of (in addition to the stuff I like) obscure music, very often ripped from 40+ year-old LPs.

I also have a lot of music that one friend or another likes - where they say "Here, add this to the library." after they have ripped it to iTunes. Yard-sale music, too... buck-a-CD stuff from people I've never even heard of. Hey, storage is cheap. My lossless files are at about 2TB right now, with at least a terabyte of vinyl waiting for me to have the time and the patience to digitize.

What is this thing you call "iTunes library"??

arkayn · 03-10-2010, 11:07 AM

That would be the thing where we store all the music we might listen too!!

It is helpful to have my own website for hosting images.
