How Many Songs Have You Got On Your Pc?

Ross_Mahon

I only checked how many songs ive got just there, I have 33,415 Songs!:eek:

I backed them all up, what ive been doing is copying music off people's computers and also downloading them too. I want to create a massive music collection and be able to share it with people. Anyone have a larger collection of music than me?

ScumLord

I have all of them.

togster

I have 1 song on my PC.

Susannahmia

7980. I probally only listen to about 5% of them though.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo) in sample music? :rolleyes:

FunkZ

I have 33,416 songs, just checked there. I want to have more tunes than the whole world.

biko

3k

Dudess

Moved from After Hours.

Ross_Mahon

Sometimes you just dont realise how many other threads there are...:D

FunkZ

On my laptop I have just under 1000. But on my dads PC I have about 5000.

Richard W

I have 3300ish, and that's about 10 days. When are you ever going to listen to 100 days of music?

BaZmO*

I have about 7000k on my PC.

Its good to have so many songs, because if your mates come over looking for an album or song, you can easily get it for them. Or my dad wanted loads of old songs, and suprisingly i had them.

Rigsby

None! I'm an old fashioned sort of guy and I use an old fangled gadget called a "stereo system". The sound reproduction from this gadget is a million times better than that from PC.

Time for a new pc tbh

I have 4000+ and plan to take over the world some day.

Ross can you export a track listing of all that music? I'd be curious to browse your collection

Ok. I'll rephrase. ....... is a million times better than ANY PC

RichTea

I've got roughly a thousand on this computer (laptop) but had 4,000 on old PC. I want to see some tracklisting as well! I really, really need more music!

jebuz

I'd say I've about a quarter past 4 songs

hefty_langer

47,638 tracks... 138days 11hrs
according to winamp...

Slightly OT, but what do people with large music collections use to manage their libraries... I have used Dr.MP3 to organise/tag and play using winamp, everything else seems to really drag with the size of the library...

Tar.Aldarion

Used to have a few hundred thousand, um, it was pointless.
Down to like 8k with pruning.

Yeah back when your average pc used to ship with a 2 terrabyte hard drive! :rolleyes:

Royale with Cheese

Almost 10'000 (9998 to be exact). Wouldn't listen to 80% of that. Actually it's more like I've never listened to 80% of that, and of the other 20%, I'd listen to 10% max on any sort of regular basis.

I have a lot more storage than that.

IrishMike

14,596 or 58.1Gb if you prefer.
Had well over 200Gb on a hard drive that decided to die on me during the summer.
This was all that i had backed up.

How do you do that man? I'd really like to print of the contents of me music folder


In other news over 100GB (I'd listen to most of it, no filler)and I can p1ss real high too

MooseJam

a more interesting question would be how much of it is legal

Jelly 292

Get off the box mate, how much of your collection is legal?

Kintarō Hattori

Seemingly 27,570 tracks. Of course I don't listen to alot of it.

Xavi6

About 7,500. Haven't even listened to most of that mainly as I only download albums even though I only want certain songs. Strange I know but I just hate having single songs. Used to play them off the pc but got a new stero system that has an ipod station so Bob's your aunty's husband.

Maybe it's just me, but reading this thread I get the impression that people are eager to have a bigger collection just for the sake of having a bigger collection, and in fact the more you have the less you listen to.

That's not necessarily true. I don't really watch TV and I don't listen to the radio so where am I to experience new music? I have a large collection, there's a core element that I listen too and when I'm in the mood for discovering artists that I haven't listened to before I'll play something new.

Fair enough, and I didn't want to go into specific examples, but there seemed to be a few references on the thread to people only listening to a small percentage of the vast number of songs they have accumulated.

Mossy Monk

I used to have 14000 but realised it was mostly ****e I will never listen to so I did some deleting and now have 7861 songs. I am not bothered though. My e-penis is massive.

IrishMike

I listen to the vast majority of the stuff i have to be honest.
Nothing worse than being in the mood for something obsecure and not have it to hand.
More is always better, just like alcohol!

Do you guys not mind sacrificing quality for quantity ? Because it's an accepted fact that MP3's have a far less sound quality than cd's.

Judging from this thread no one gives a s--- about sound quality, which is rather strange coming from (I presume) dedicated music fans.

I'd consider myself a serious music fan and I'm not sure I could even notice the difference between mp3 and cd.

Not if they're ripped to high quality, or use flac etc.

And even at standard 128 the average human would be hard pressed to hear a difference.

MooseJam

256mbps is all the sound quality you need

Ruu_Old

7,302 files, a great deal are soundtracks and rubbish.

If you were to listen to a properly ripped v0 mp3 using lame and EAC and compared it to a cd I doubt you could say which is which.

Unless you are ripping FLAC, WAV or ALAC etc its' all compressed and lossy. A lot of people have massive FLAC libraries which is lossless. Personally I think it takes up too much space. v0 is a good trade off for quality to size, v2 would be my next choice then 192kbps cbr. 320 is a waste of space, why encode silence at 320kbps?

Nightwish

5759 at the moment. I listen to about 80% of it.

Zonda999

1006 songs and i still dont listen to about half of that!!!BTW how have some of you managed to get 30 or 40k songs????What the hell is it all???

440Hz

Discrimination against Macs!! I have 0 songs and 0 PCs.

Loveless

16,437 songs on the hard-drive. Ripped using Lame @ 192 VBR.
Have another 75,000 or so archived off to DVDs.

As stated already it is possible to rip music to a very high quality so that your hard pressed to hear the difference.
If I really want to appreciate the 'quality' I have a CD collection, a decent amplifier, seperates CD player, minidisc deck and a reasonable set of floor standers.

Most people, myself included don't always use MP3 players because we want to intensely listen to high quality music on the move. It's because we like our music, want to listen to something while commuting and pass the time.

DenMan

I know I have 5,000+, and I listen to a fair whack of them (75% or maybe more!!!)

Nailz

7000-ish.

Bacchus

Just over 10,000 songs. I listen to about 1/3 of them on a regular (rotation) basis. Bit silly really having all this music I listened to 10 years ago and haven't listened to since.

I may do a clear out.

Same here Xavi, i think the single songs look clunky - plus, I have no respect for people whose iPods of full of single songs by millions of artists...pick one you really like and get MORE THAN THE HIT SINGLE! It's usually one of the weaker tracks on the album anyway

As for my collection, about 4,000 - anyone know how to do an exact count on Windows Media Player?
