10k files
43 gigs

I think I have enough to listen to

38 CD's at the moment, need to expand a lot though as I have listened to a lot of new things since then.

2200 files
11G
151 total hours (@ 6 1/4 days)

50+ cds
100+ tapes
a couple dozen on vinyl
3 8-tracks

Interesting topic.
I have 323 albums in CD form.
That together with additional MP3s on my computer equates to 129GB of data and a total of 17937 individual tracks lasting 596 hours 31 minutes and 21 seconds (if my music player is to be believed).

How do you find the # of hours on a windows machine?

Usually your music player of choice will tell you the total time for any playlist. At least the one's I'm used have (Windows media player, Winamp and JetAudio player) I just always have all my music on the playlist and have it play random.
What media player do you use?

At the moment i have just over 10 thousand songs on my ipod.

About 15 thousand songs spread over various hard drives (there will be lots of over lap with the ipod).

I currently have 1099 Albums, 69.63gb on my mac. Only got a couple of hundred CDs, as I've just had a major clearout due to space issues. No vinyl, sold it all.

Just shy of 4gb.

And I'm sure some songs have managed to copy themselves, so perhaps half a gig to a gig or so of that might just be inexplicable copies of songs already in there.

well lets see. 1000+ records mostly 12"s and some 7"s and a few 10"s

At least 50 CD's

100+ tape Cassettes

And on my computer 146.5 GB

Totaling some obscene number of days.

84.69 gigs...
49.2 days...
17310 songs...
About a dozen vinyl albums
Hundreds of CDs lying about.

3.52 gig in a folder on my desktop and around 40 gig on my iTunes. Still trying to find out how many hours that is as my Winamp seems incapable of calculating it?
Still have not figured it out, it's an iMac thing.....

I did have a lot more, but had a big clear out of my HDD

3961 songs
16.94 gigs
11.8 days.

I have a wall of CD cases in my basement, most of which have been copied to drive. Not all of them though, and not in any pattern. One of my "I'll get around to it eventually" projects.

I haven't checked in a while, but it is right around 90 gig. I also haven't updated it in 5 years, so there's that. Pandora stole my soul.

11802 songs in 1322 albums by over 400 artists, clocking in at 106GB, and filling 37 days and 10 hours of listening time.

Today.

Not in front of it, but I think about 30gb.

I seem to recall its play time being approximately 10 days. The Pink Floyd alone is a good 12 hours of that, and a hell of a way to spend a day.

Just over 9gb on my laptop, but I still have a dozens of cd's I haven't downloaded, and at least 20 vinyls.

Honestly, I mostly rely on my Pandora app for driving or Spotify when I'm at home. It's been several months since I've actually downloaded anything.

39.6GB of non-rap (9,321 tracks), and 3.3Gb of rap (915 tracks, pretty much all of it pre-2000ish).

I do not know why my file ordering conventions break down that way, but that's how it does.

I also have 2GB of FLAC, which were largely an experiment to see if I could hear a difference. I concluded that even with audiophile grade cans, I simply incapable of perceiving the difference in fidelity between a lossless file, and even a poorly-mastered low bitrate MP3 (I also have a terrible sense of smell, but that's another issue). I'm not saying there isn't a difference, simply that it is imperceptible to me - one of my good friends says he can clearly hear it, and he's the smartest person I know so I presume he's right.

1.) Go to your music directory. In the search bar in the top right. Search for *mp3, which should find all your music.
2.) Select the first file. Scroll down to the bottom, and then hold down the shift key, and select the bottom one. This will select them all.
3.) Right click over the selection and pick "enqueue in Winamp" (or whatever, I don't have it installed on my work laptop)
4.) In Winamp, open the playlist, and hit MISC at the bottom, then MISC OPTS. Generate HTML playlist.
5.) The playtime will be atop the list, and will look like this, my current selection:

56 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:44
Estimated playlist length: 4 hours 25 minutes 43 seconds
(4 tracks of unknown length)
Right-click here to save this HTML file.

I'm at work currently, but iirc it's hovering around 50GB.

I had more, but I told my wife that my iTunes doesn't need Hanson and Britney Spears on it.

MP3: 4883 tracks, 16d20h9min24sec, 40,1GB worth of music.
CD:s in my tower? Something around 100 albums, havent counted them. No vinyls, but lots of limited/collectors edition albums. Love my wooden case Metsatöll album

461 hours - 19d 6h. Not sure about filesize, my 'main' music folder is 18GB but I think it's surpassed by my downloads folder.

I do have several complete series of radio documentaries and comedies though, that might not count. God knows how to split it off.

I find last.fm+utorrent+any free disk space is very dangerous...

Since I don't know what half this stuff is or why I have it

I've got 329mb of MP3s. 35 tracks. I'll be honest, most of that music is just the stuff I really like, the rest I just listen to from Youtube.

120 or so vinyl hard rock/metal albums (hipster reaching critical levels)

probably 200-300 CD's scattered around the house, and around 8 gigs on my computer.

My music collection is very scattered after my original computer died, so it's kind of hard to get a real count of everything.

Around as big as my folder of scantily clad women.

As of right now, my "main" music folder is 59.5 GB, 1200 folders and 13k files.

I had to double-check...

Ahem... 2.1 terabytes.

Dude, we're talking MUSIC folder, not porn folder

25Gb, 8000 odd files. A bunch of CDs filed away.

You know, I feel really weird because I only have around 3.5gb. I can go days without listening to any music sometimes. I guess I'm not really a music person. That said, most of the time I hear something I like I listen to it on youtube till i'm sick of it, so I usually don't end up buying it.
