But I can't delete them, because replacements can't easily be found.

Similar situation here. The downloaded music (before I recorded all my own CDs) were mostly downloaded at 120KB/s or so (about 8GB worth). Some higher, but not much. Back then, when I first got into it, I didn't know better. A co-worker said that 120KB/s was fine for CD quality and I believed him. After having trouble when I took those lower quality bitrates to make audio CDs, I realized the problem and only go for the highest bit rate I can find now. I'll spend the extra hdd space for a quality recording. Hdd space is cheap nowadays, so its worth it.

4444 total MP3 files... about 3/4 ripped from my own disks.
Total 40GB

All get robocopied across my network to a cheap 80GB drive on my wife's PC...
Most all of it electronic - psytrance or psy ambient with a little tribal beat stuff thrown in for good measure!

Every new CD I buy gets ripped and placed on my back shelf to remain as my master disk.

BUT, I've been slacking and still have about 30 - 40 disks I need to rip.

So much music to listen to... so little time!

I have 108 burned CD's of Full Albums in MP3 format (VBR) and that is about between 850 and 870 Full Albums. I also have 10 burned CD's of mixed songs also in MP3 format. I am ripping everything that I can get a hold on and keep it for later use.

I don't download any music anymore from Winmx, Kazaa or else, I have all the music that I want lucky me

and I'm still adding new songs to my collection everyday...

It took me awhile to have that collection of songs but it's a great joy for me. I have a 80 Gig Maxtor with my MP3's on it and once I tried to install Mandrake 8.2 and without knowing what I was doing I format by mistake both HD that I have (110 Gig total) so I had to re-install everything including all my music....took me 3 days to get close to where I was when I made the mistake....

Enjoy your music and cheers

Wow this is an impressive list..

I had 7 gigs of mp3s in the napster days, My HD got hosed.

Then I had 2 gigs and my HD got hosed

Now I have 1 gig, and I don't find a lot of new music that I like anynmore.

But I have about 7 gigs of vids.

Have no use for MP3's. I have over 1200 cds, at peak I owned over 2000. The sound quality of mp3's is dismal compared to cd and I have yet to have to replace one cd for any reason. Can't say that for my computer hard drives though....

GP-SE · 09-25-2002, 08:36 PM

I only have 2Gb worth of MP3's.

Bakku · 09-27-2002, 02:17 PM

38.0KB

yes, that's right, 38KB of mp3 file. that's the file come alone with winamp2 -- demo.mp3

i listen mp3s online only, finding no points to let those junk MP3 files take up my HDD space.

Daredevil3000 · 09-27-2002, 05:46 PM

I have 2267 songs on my harddrive.

pointreyes · 09-27-2002, 06:06 PM

That's an amazing collection. In my old days I had over 500 LP's, but I lost them all together with everything else I owned in a fire a couple of years ago. Wasn't very pretty.

I only have about 10MB worth of MP3's but have over 10GB (1,100 tracks) copied from CD into WMA format at 192 bits/sec and it will probably triple when I copy the rest of my collection. I only get MP3's if they are rare or exclusive music tracks and anywhay the size is not a problem with a 80GB hard drive.

an Ugly SOB_abx · 03-29-2003, 01:57 PM

4.10 Gbs.

swannema · 03-29-2003, 02:22 PM
