Music Libraries
-
I'm interested to see where everyone's libraries are at. Vinyl, CD, Cassette, Digital, everything.
Personally I've got 10,071 tracks, 30:05:26:48 in time, and 49.25 GB.
CD's probably 300-400 but it's been probably 4-5 years since I've counted or kept them in one house, let alone one place.
I'm interested to see what some of you older folks have. Yeah I said it. Older folks.
**This thread popped into my head based off of comments between Bethanne and I in the Contrast Podcast thread. -
vinyl: seven records and counting.
cd: lost track, but i estimate it at about 600 cds (i buy a lot at shows, record shops and online)
itunes: 2841 songs: eight days and twelve and a half gigs. (i have a 30gig 5G ipod.)
ij'm getting there. keep in mind i moved a lot and had to give up a lot of stuff and now that i'm set where i'm at, i'm building up my collection again! -
Ok, I'm clearly not a hipster or a proper indie kid, because I own no vinyl. Awful, I know.
I own somewhere around 1400 CDs, but I've bought many and gotten rid of many since I last updated my list, so it's just a rough number.
As for mp3s, I have 10,131 - 600 of which are unreleased or live Eels songs (my favourite band).
I've got a few talking heads cassettes and a pablo honey one too, kicking around somewhere. -
Vinyl, I have a bunch of Dylan records "Psychocandy" but nothing else.
I think I must have about 800 CDs and that's after selling about two hundred of them that I didn't want anymore.
MP3s, 6198 songs, 16.3 days and 28.58 GB but that won't get any higher as my hard drive is now packed. -
Vinyl: I've inherited probably 150-250 LPs, and just started collecting 7"(15+) and new LPs ( 5)
Cds: mmm.... maybe 300-400, but not really sure.
MP3s: 25.point.something gigs -
Vinyl: Upwards of 3000 LPs, singles and 12"s that are taking over my flat. My record collection owns me right now. Most played record (for my shame) is Kind of Blue.
CDs: 400-500 I would imagine, quite a lot at work. Most Played CD is probably a Billie Holiday greatest one that never offends anyone else in the office!
MP3s: You could fit them all on one DVD-R at the moment (3 or 4 GB)... I delete regularly. The songs from the new Calexico album and 'Rabbit Fur Coat' are getting the most play right now. -
This thread makes me so depressed for having next to nothing, compared to you guys.
Let's count the ways in which I'm totally inferior...
No vinyl, at all.
About 40 CDs.
And, 9.34 GB of music (I think I have another 10 gigs on a different computer, but some of the songs overlapp...)
Sad? Yes. -
Vinyl: 11- 12" 5- 7" 1-10"
CDs: If I was to hazard a guess I'd say around 200, but then again I may get some in the mail today, and I don't listen to a lot of them.
Mp3: Approx 8 GB of songs. I have a color-screen 4g 20gb -
vinyl: 100ish... never counted.
cds: i try to keep my collection to the essentials... somewhere around 300-400. i'm constantly selling cds back to the cd store.
mp3s: as of today... 8562 or 26.5 days or 47.52 gbs -
Vinyl 452 to be exact including 12" and 7"
CD's 2027 to be exact
Current iTunes says 18,123 songs 90.87 GB
The exact is for years now, I keep a log and update whenever I get new music... became a habit and stayed that way.... -
ah, and yes Kane I forgot to mention I am one of the older folks... :-)
-
I failed to mention that I am set to inherit around 900 records.
-
Vinyl: I just started re-collecting vinyl last year after selling and giving away my entire collection when I moved west about eight years ago. About 100 discs, mostly 7" singles.
CDs: a lot, but the number is staying pretty constant, as I've been weeding out the discs I rarely listen to and giving them away (along with 95% of the discs sent my way). -
21,000 songs on my computer. Somewhere around 300 CDs, but i stopped counting a while back.
-
older folks....errrh, i think i may qualify as one of those... lemme get up outta my rocking chair and count my 78's for you...
an estimate - i think i have maybe 1400 cds, 250 records, and around 100 GB of mp3s on my home music library.
also, there is some crossover amongst all of these -
Wow, some impressive collections here. Most of my songs are on CD, so:
CDs: Last count was around 1000; probably a little more by now
Tapes: Lots of crappy concert recordings
Vinyl: Mostly just oddities...Maybe 20?
MP3: Currently 3932 songs
I've told myself that my mp3s will never be more than I can hold on my iPod, so that's pretty much the max until I get a bigger mp3 player (currently 20GB). This keeps me deleting stuff I don't enjoy listening to anymore. -
matt, i'm moving in with you right now. haha
-
yeah, crossover is a good point.. the large iTunes collection is all my vinyl and CD's converted digitally. I don't really go around the blogosphere to download mp3's. I buy all my music and like to share some of the high points with the blogosphere..... Probably only 50-100 tracks on the iTunes are ones I downloaded from other bloggers.. I buy so much music every week, sometimes I don't listen to it for a month or more later....
-
yeah I know. I have about 20 new cds to put on my iPod. It just takes a while. I should do it as I get them, I suppose.
-
CDs: 300-400 (overwhelming majority are self-bought)
Mp3s: 5135 -
Vinyl: ~20
CDs: ~600
MP3s: ~80GB -- roughly 20,000 MP3s, all told.
I have been collecting music primarily in MP3 format since 1997, and I've lost a considerable portion of my formerly glorious MP3 collection, along with about 20 vinyl albums (including Led Zeppelin IV, with the original and fantastic artwork, sigh). -
A few years ago I undertook the task of digizing all of my cds. I am not an organized person. I've always had lots of cds, and always had stacks of cases, books of cds, stacks of cds, all sorts of chaos.
I ripped about 1200 discs and haven't touched one since. Occasionally I will burn something for the car or whatever, but the cases/discs were in such bad condition that there was no reason to sell them. My old bedroom at my folks house still has floor to ceiling stacks of naked discs -- long forgotten.
I had been working on pairing down my mp3 collection. At it's peak I was around 40k tracks and near 100gb take or leave. Since then I've started trying to assess what "new" music I have any interest in keeping and what "old" music I want hanging around for the same reason. Then I suffered a major hd crash and lost everything from the last 3 years -- only because I had an old version of my collection on another drive.
Currently I'm at around 18,000 tracks, I believe. Much of that is self ripped and it's all full albums. I also have around 100 lps but my record player can no longer play at a steady speed, so those are worthless to me.
Now my DVD collection -- whole different story. I'm actually at the point where I have to give away/sell movies just to make room for new stuff. -
My best estimate for cds is around 800. I have approiximately 40 G in digital music. There's some overlap there since I almost exclusively listen to digital copies these days. If I buy a cd or receive one, they immeidately get converted to digital. I only listen to cds in the car. My cds are terribly unorganized. If I need to find a cd to rip it'll take me a good 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Around 1500 CDs, 1-100GB of music (I tend to download a bunch and then delete stuff as I buy it if I like it), and about 300 LPs... in various locations.
Howdy, Stranger!
