Mine peaks in at 8.90 Gigabytes, with 1,855 songs. I have the entire discographys of Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Slayer. But the majority of it is made of various jrock artitists and classical music.

Mine weighs in at around 9 gig, although I couldn't tell you how many specific songs there are, one of my housemates decided to "clean house" and ran a program that put em all into alphabetic folders.

Well, I don't keep all my music in the music folder, it's scattered all around my computer and some on a separate harddrive as well.
I'm guessing it's around 8-10 gigs of music, but it might be less. I'm not sure.

Mine's 13.8Gb, 3640 songs. 10 days, 5 hrs and 28 minutes of music, according to Winamp.

mine is 28.38 GB!!!
I really should start burning some of this stuff...

Massive since I discovered the holy blessings of Bittorent. :p

With the recent addition of Raffi's "Banana Phone", I have just exceeded the 12 gig point. I share, too ... so I'm always on the lookout for RIAA thugs.

Share through p2p or bittorrent?

30 gigs, about 8,250 songs. Starts with 7 Seconds and runs through to ZZ Top.

A mere 3 gigs

8.07 Gigabytes, 2543 songs.

25 gigs here :)

edit:

hehe, me: from AC/DC to (w00t) ZZ Top :p
a mere 4143 songs at estimated running time f 303 hours :cool:

444 mb. About 93-95 files, I think. I'm trapped on 56k and I'm not really all that big on music, ;)

Share through p2p or bittorrent?

Both! :D I gots me plenty of bandwidth to go around. My clients are up 24/7/365.

ive about 5gigs. 90% of that is ripped from CDs, the rest downloaded

That p2p sharing is some risky business... I dont ever share through Ares or Limewire but I seed like crazy through bittorrent. ( I use Azureus btw)

I keep Bearshare up (not the best client, but it will actually continue to function if you disable the stupid spyware it comes with) and I also use Azureus!

Risky? Yeah ... but I am a recording musician, a member of ASCAP, and am a loudly outspoken advocate that music should be free. :) I say to Lars, "Bring it on!"

848 MB

Thats seems pretty low after hearing you guys.

I think I've got about 4gb on my inaccessible HDD. I've got about 1gb on this, and about 800mb on my laptop.

I'd have a lot more, but I'm a picky person who only downloads high quality stuff.

I had a 20 Gig hardrive fail on me, it cost $1000 to get the data off.

267 megabites or 5:06, of which, I only use 227, or 3 hours.

12.4 gigs... a lot of it is back-up of my albums, live stuff, b-sides, techno you can't find in the US, and post-rock

36 GB with another 60 in music videos (all audio is legal now and all music video's are public domain

14gb all legal and bought and paid for :)

17.1 GB and 3,647 songs. Starts with !!! - Dear Can and ends with Zombies - The Way I Feel Inside.

I'm trying to download as much as I can now before I leave college and go back to 56k.

2.85GBs, starting with ACDC's "Back in Black", finishing with ZZ Tops "Sharp Dressed Man".

I am a major audiophile, so, uh:

73,914 songs in 7,565 folders, approx. 226.1GB, roughly 56% of my entire hard drive space.

Only 4GB or so. When I buy CD's or burn the tracks to CD, I usually delete the ones on my harddrive.

Just out of curiosity, have you listened to this all?

39.01GB

I couldn't tell you how many songs it is though, because there's a lot of other files in there, such as nfo files and sfv files.

Its so big, it could kick Godzilla in the green scaly balls.

6 Gigs on the hard disk, and another (cca) 30 on cds
I loves my music, I loves it!

A 40GB Hard Drive, about 5000 tracks.

Just out of curiosity, have you listened to this all?

Barely 1% of it, methinks.

of course, that doesnt count the many, many movies and games i have on my computer. all of which are fully legal backups, which i have paid for. i just wont show you, cause i like my privacy.

edit: i made the picture huge, but it ended up super shrunk. too lazy to fix it, so i'll tell you. i've got a measly 26.8 GB of (legal) music.

26.8GB of legal music would cost approx. £7,226 assuming each song is about 3MB, and you paid 0.79p for each.

I buy CDs used. Supports a whole second-tier economy and isn't susceptible to either viruses or FBI shennanigans.

Guess that means I'd old and obsolete, but I really couldn't care less.

I have more than 3000 songs, and more than thirteen gigs!

i... uh. drink alot of pop. you know - free songs on the bottle caps.

Well, my 56k makes music downloading a royal pain...so I have exactly 0.00 GB of music on my comp.

I also don't have a cd burner, so I purchase all of my cds...which makes me old fashioned, I know, but I'm proud of the fact that I'm the only person I know (in RL) who actually owns all the cds of several of my favorite bands.

That said, I've been burning all my cds onto my x-box lately...I love listening to my own damn music when I play video games! :)

11.6GB, 3501 Files in 320 Folders.
I know that it is not much but I still have a cupboard of cds to rip and I cant be bothered yet.

It's the way to go!

I get my CD's either from second-hand stores, markets or a discount place that I discovered earlier in the year that's in the inner city. I've picked up some reasonably hard to find stuff there that i've never seen in normal record shops for a mere $10...new CD's here usually cost $20 *minimum*. If all CD's cost that much, I almost wouldn't bother downloading music. Almost ;)

:Wumpscut: to ZZZ Hacker, 9,73 GB, 2744 songs

Buying CDs is old fashioned now? I'll just take my wax cylinders, piano rolls and 78rpms then and leave while I still have breath left in my feeble old body then.

6-7GB
Not sure because I have it in couple of folders.

2pac-->ZZtop

17.59 GB according to iTunes...

I am a major audiophile, so, uh:

73,914 songs in 7,565 folders, approx. 226.1GB, roughly 56% of my entire hard drive space.
That's not being an audiophile. That's just plain downright OCD!

For what it's worth, I have:
1471 tracks, 4 days 15 hours 48 minutes 44 seconds, 7.37Gig.
Though it's more tracks than that, as I have several complete ripped albums.

Mine weights in at 19 Gigs, 5,374 songs...

You're my new idol.

Mine is very small. I tend to buy CDs rather than download, and usually if I download something I really like, I usually buy it later.

I have 8,086 songs. They take up 22.5 GB and span across 645 folders.

I also own 221 CDs, all of which were legally bought.

Share through p2p or bittorrent?
What exactly are the differences between P2P and Bittorent (http://www.bittorent.com/)?

I'm not exactly sure how much in the way of music in terms of size... actually, wait...

774.8MB, 252 songs. That said, I AM on a 56k connection and am still suffering with a 40GB HDD.

Not much. But then, I do have about 100 CD's, so that kinda makes up for it. Plus I can write my own any time I wish.

P2P is a generic term describing technologies which allow easy transfer of data from one client to another, either through a central neogotiation server, or through peer/node searching.

Bittorrent is simply one of the protocols which can be described as P2P.

What exactly are the differences between P2P and Bittorent (http://www.bittorent.com/)?

With p2p programs you dl directly from one host and as such when you share one person is uploading from you. This makes it tricky for sharing as if the FBI or the RIAA dl a complete file from your computer they can get a warrant to search your hd for more pirated files. Either that or they send you a nasty letter to stop. (happened to me before)

With Bittorrent you are dl and ul from many different hosts making it harder for said organizations to catch you. Also, with enough seeds and a good connection its possible to dl enormous files very quickly (I got the entire series of Monk in about 3 hours; 3.4 gigabytes). The downside to torrents is that you need to have a library of sites where you can dl the .torrent file. And it consumes a monstrous ammount of bandwidth. (1/3rd of all internet traffic is from bittorrent; many isps also complain that around 5% of their users are taking up around 95% op their bandwidth)

:eek:
You're my new idol.

Why thank you. I started with the first version of Napster, and still have the very first song I ever downloaded somewhere. I used to run a Shoutcast radio station, which did requests (I wrote a winamp plugin which auto-downloaded songs as they were requested). Now I mostly download entire albums.

The RIAA hate me. I already have one warning from them, and one from the MPAA too. :( They sent me a letter threatening me with American laws. Silly people.

Almost Three and a half. It's 3.49gb. Though, I have 48 video files, so that isnt all music.

That's why you turn off uploads. :p

16 GB roughly

9.89Gb - 1,874 songs (although some are complte albums, so approx. 2000+)

38GB or so, about 9800 songs last I checked. Im not at home, so I can't give exact numbers - this is only an educated guess. I want to rip all of my CD's to my computer, about 900 give or take (I dont count them any more). Good times!

Oh and, Mindset, I bow to your almighty powers! :eek:

Well, it's actually too damn big to have on my computer anymore, so I've had to burn a bunch of storage CDs, which makes it kind of hard to find specific albums. I've been downloading Spanish music for the last year from some guy in Sweden, and I've got about 60GB of music. Seriously. A stupid amount. I'm just getting it all while I can, and plan on sorting through it later.

On a side note in 1999 it was said as much as 62 percent of traffic on the internet was through bittorrent

With my comedy clip files and movies I push my limit of total up to 265 Gig I believe

Had to make my own samba storage server :D

Keeheee...I'm only counting music. The movies are a whole other story!

Mine was about 13 gigs, and then the RIAA subpoena'd me, and it suddenly became 2 DVD's and 8 gigs of legitimate music/music videos.

Inaccesible how>

Inaccessible as in it's in another computer that I... Can't access.

Neat trick as the first bittorrent program wasn't created until 2002.

10, 745 tracks split between a few drives...I think its about 25 GB, but it could be even higher, quite a few of the tracks are in WAV. format (10 X the size of an mp3)

If you like techno, electro, DnB, Gabber or Ragga Jungle, search me on slsk, username: Disinvite. I have almost all the early Underground Resistance tracks from 91 to 96... of course there may be one person on NS besides me who even knows what UR is. :headbang:
