How big is your MP3 collection?

KingTermite · 07-25-2002, 09:10 PM

"Most" of my MP3 collection is recorded from my own CDs (although I'd be lying if I said I didn't snarf them from WinMX now and again).

Anyway, I'm up to about 30Gig and almost completed copying all my CDs.

By the time I'm done, I'l probably have about 40-45Gig worth.

How about you? I'm sure there are some of you that have even more than that? Anyone have over a terabyte of MP3 files?

zero, zilch, nada, none, null.
I do not like MP3s. But I am one biased and snobby audiophile.

rdmpe · 07-25-2002, 09:44 PM

MP3 about 6 Gig
Movies about 25 Gig

You got me beat on the MP3s for sure...

I have a lot of CDs but I'm way too lazy to rip them all. Besides, you can never trust your hard drive. Here today, gone tomorrow!

What bitrate to you rip them at?

jcash · 07-25-2002, 11:01 PM

About 5GB. I do have a CD Player, that plays MP3 from a directory on a CD. About 5 of those, full (400-600MB each) of MP3 files.

I still keep a backup copy on my extra 20GB drive, but they are the first to go, if I need the space.

Hi guys!!

You might Remember me from such Treads as **Almost to 4.0 until it caught fire** and **Wives who want their MotherBoards OverClocked** Ugh!

Get it? LOL!

Anyways Just joking, I think I can Top everyone on this as far as MP3'z.

I have a 20gig Peerless Iomega Harddrive, I have (2) 20 Gig disks, I keep all Music and unwanted porn on it. I have a total of 12.1 GIGS of Music 4002 files to be exact

yep.

70% of my music files were Downloaded from Napster, when it was alive, OMG I miss NAPSTER

Its been awhile since I dl'ed a music file. But anyways thats it, I have all types of music, Including Rare Video Game music such as Symphony Of The Night, and Final Fantasy Tactics, I have everysingle Final Fantasy SoundTrack, Literally EVERY SINGLE ONE.

ehh by the way, 96% of my files were all downloaded. I have about 4 soundtracks that I converted into MP3, Can you believe I downloaded some 2500 music files on 56k more thena year ago, once again I MISS NAPSTER.

**k0NG0** · 07-26-2002, 03:15 AM

About 8GB of music worth (almost 1800 files).

I need to purge it a bit though, a couple of the albums I never listen to nowadays.

Scoundrel · 07-26-2002, 03:23 AM

I only have 6gigs of mp3, but 200gigs of movies.

samlwl · 07-26-2002, 03:29 AM

About 5000 mp3 files burn on disc.

Yeah, me miss napster too.

swannema · 07-26-2002, 05:53 AM

Only 900 songs here and 12 GB worth of Movies.

Tranced_abx · 07-26-2002, 05:56 AM

Click the link Mp3 collection on my homepage and you'll see a listing of a live generated list

Only the Albums s-z are on another drive, I still need to fix th ASP so it looks there too :o

Its close to 40Gb at this moment I think

PhillyFlyer · 07-26-2002, 06:06 AM

I never really measured...

Somewhere in the 8-10 GB range. I have some pre-napster, napster, & post-napster.

My dad has several DVD's of them, plus a lot of his 80GB drive. His are pretty much exclusively from newsgroups.

Mysterio · 07-26-2002, 03:13 PM

Just passed the 1000 mp3`s a week or so ago.
Music from the 70s-now.. i like all kinds of music, but rock music`s my favorite.
Yeah.. Napster was great back in the `old days`.. but now there`s Kazaa and Rapigator for good p2p mp3 searching.

Dk975 · 07-26-2002, 03:39 PM

I had 2354 mp3s @ 10.0 Gigs, but cleaned some of them out and now I'm at 2030 @ 8.5 Gigs. I also have 210 music videos @ 8 Gigs.

rdmpe · 07-26-2002, 05:48 PM

Check out Kazaa Lite for a Kazaa client without the spyware, and also search around and you'll find ways to get rid of the IE popup windows too. Kazaa Lite is a nice little proggie, seems just as good as Napster was. Very large network. Also supports downloading a file from multiple users at once, which I don't think Napster ever did. I often completely max out my 2Mb/s downstream bandwidth (roadrunner cable).

bigtoe · 07-26-2002, 06:19 PM

Well over 50gigs of mp3's and they are everwhere, on disk and hdd's etc.All the albums I like the most I go out and buy, so who say's mp3's are killing music!!
