How many gigs of music on your hard drive/Stats

mistermeow · 14th January 2007, 08:12

Just wondering how many gigs of music everyone has on their hard drive, and how many separate tracks/songs.

I have 31 gigs of music and about 3600 songs.

What artist/band has the most unique songs>100(no re-encode)
496 tracks - Christian Death
270 tracks - Black Sabbath
200 tracks - Jimi Hendrix
133 tracks - Ozzy Osbourne
131 tracks - Gackt
110 tracks - The Beatles

Kaboon · 14th January 2007, 11:26

I have 40.9 gigs of music and about 5700 songs.

None of the artists matches a > 100 songs but here are the most popular:

43 tracks - DJ Promo
41 tracks - The Prophet
36 tracks - Angerfist
31 tracks - Dione
25 tracks - Neophyte

And there's a > 100 one after all, but I guess that doesn't count;

123 tracks - V.A.

[edit] Thread moved over to a more suitable forum btw.

NJK · 14th January 2007, 11:38

got no clue what i have the most.

Hi Kaboon , still alive as i can see.

fwgx · 14th January 2007, 12:37

55 gig and ~9000 tracks. My most popular artists by track count are Smashing Pumpkins, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones

My last fm page says that I've listened to 2 more Nirvana tracks than I have Stones.

What if the RIAA or Ohio U is watching? I could be forced to watch an 8 minute anti-piracy video!

39.6 gigs of umm...'stuff' last time I checked.

swingdjted · 23rd February 2007, 05:35

That's Ohio University that you're talking about I think. They're #1 in piracy these days according to the newspaper.

Kent State is in the top 20, other Ohio colleges aren't in the top 20 that I've heard about.

mrd00d · 23rd February 2007, 06:03

Heh, thanks for the correction. I should know but sometimes I skim the stories I post and don't hit every single detail. I recently posted a story about the RIAA and a university in Ohio that punishes students by making them watch an anti-piracy video to Breaking News.

hahahahahha

*goes to edit his previous post*

swingdjted · 23rd February 2007, 06:19

Yeah, there was a story in the Akron Beacon Journal 2-22-07 about that - made the front page. I thought it was funny too that they're making the offenders watch a dumbass video. They do make the offenders show the process of deleting the files from the computer too (under university supervision), and that's all on first offense.

Second offences can mean fines.

Apparently the RIAA can't figure out who exactly the offender is on campus, just that it was a student from that network, so they leave it to the University to monitor and enforce the first couple offenses, and if they don't show proof of enforcement, they sue the university.

At the university in my town (Akron), they usually slap on rather huge fines ($2000.00 - $10,000.00) on the first offense without sympathy, and they make headlines every time a student gets busted, so piracy is much less a noticeable problem here. Students that do share music generally know how to keep it quiet (direct portable HDD transfers, etc.).

A tiny 8.54 GB (Yay I have the second smallest)

1939 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:00

Only Nightwish is > 100 (108)

I HAVE ABOUT 80,000 SONGS (380GIGS) ITS ALL ON AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.[IMG]

ulillillia · 8th October 2007, 06:53

I probably have the least of all. Including duplicates and test files, just 2.4 GB. Ignoring duplicates and test files, a measely 0.9 GB and that's all in WAV files (true speed is either 50,000 or 100,000 Hz, either 8 or 16-bit, and always mono). I have less than 100 songs, but with changing the speed (by modifying the sample rate), this seems more like 2000 and the songs are listened to sometimes for days or even weeks on end (my current one is approaching 3 weeks with over 14,000 plays in Winamp).

DocHoncho · 2nd March 2008, 05:12

i'm lame, i only have 3gb... better get torrenting... wait, i didn't just say that out loud, did i?

swingdjted · 2nd March 2008, 05:15

3gb would probably be quite a good amount if you only wanted what was really good.

It would fit on most modern day mp3 players, so it's actually not bad at all.

It's all a matter of practicality. If you have an eclectic taste and a wide variety of music to enjoy, it might be hard to have limits, but a lot of people have a specific taste, where it doesn't take a server full of hard drives to store what you need.

fc*uk · 2nd March 2008, 14:51

Holy shit, Ypsi. I went to college in that city.

Music. Well, traktor is telling me that the stuff I use to DJ with only is 28.4 gig. Christ, the money that I have spent on that. 1817 tracks at .... nope, not going to think about it.

Didn't take the time to check that. But now that I have, no, it is not.

I fired off a pm to the user about post pumping and if I saw one more bullshit post from them I was going to ban the account.

Seems the person left after the PM.

swingdjted · 28th April 2009, 04:38

Thanks. I was hoping to find something meaningful in all those posts to no avail; had to restrain myself from starting some kind of flame war with the person. I probably should have just ignored it completely. Thanks for looking into it and giving the PM though.

Canticle Drawl · 1st May 2009, 20:56

I have about 172GB of music. Around 8000 songs or so.

swingdjted · 1st May 2009, 21:29

21.5 MB average song size? Must be long, uncompressed tracks.

For now, my average sound file size is 6.278 MB.

deeder7001 · 8th May 2009, 22:22

49.1GB ~8000 tracks.

U2(185) and Diana Krall(168) have the most tracks.

pjkaka · 30th May 2009, 09:26

about 4450 songs. Have it scattered all around, so can't be sure of the gig.

This post reminds me that I need to get my music organized
