How Big is your digital Music folder?

[Sinny]

lossless?

WAV and 320k MP3's, few albums at 192 but generally yeah.

 

[thepeganator]

23.2GB on the Laptop, about 50GB on the main PC (broken so can't check atm).
Somehow 90GB on the iPod, deleted a lot off the computers.

 

[Greenlizard0]

186GB, mostly 320Kbs MP3s but plenty of FLAC files in there as well.

 

[Shamikebab]

204GB

Between 256-320Kb MP3's.

 

[Lakeland]

345gb all mp3

Includes a large number of Trance mixes though which are usually 150mb+

Use FLAC and save some space and get proper tagging.

Mine is around 500GB, mostly FLAC but a few MP3s of rare stuff I can't find anywhere to buy any more.

 

[jp_bl_68]

9.03GB MP3. Not sure what the bit rate is but everything was ripped and converted using iTunes.

 

[Margaret]

Like 45Gb and a lot of it barely gets listened to. Don't get how people can have such large amounts.

About half of it is lossless.

 

[Morgoth]

95GB usually 128-256k MP3 very few FLAC.

 

[Castiel]

Total 1.4TB, spread over two music servers....normally 320kps MP3, some Flac.

 

[LiamJ]

Close to 13Gb. Majority is high quality MP3s, either 320 or 256kbps. Some of it is 128kbps from CDs though.

I do listen to the majority of my music. The only things I don't are things that I download for other people, which they in turn import onto their own computers through iTunes.

How... just how? If that were ALL FLAC I could understand. How many albums is that? Mine is 2,500 albums, 127GB of mp3s and most of those are 256kb or below. And that's after years and years of daily buying of CDs, ripping promos, digital downloads and 'acquired' downloads.

 

[TFleming]

109gb MP3 320

 

[boxman2000]

700gb - probably 1/3 of that are podcasts.

Mostly variable to 320k which IMO gets the best results vs. space


Been backing it up with an online backup program and it's taking months!!!

 

[Flibster]

Server with 8x2Tb hard drives in it.
Currently running about 80% full, but that includes a few duplicates that I'm hunting down and removing at the moment due to my uselessness.

All FLAC, mostly 16bit 44.1khz stereo, but the vinyl rips go up to 24bit 192khz stereo, and the DVD-A rips are up to 24bit 96khz 5.1 *which are sizeable*

All ripped by myself apart from the live bootlegs and the live performances bought from nugs.net.

I listen to far too much music.

*edit* Just remembered that there is several years of F1 podcasts on there, all the Kevin Smith podcasts and a few coffee related ones. So not all FLAC.

 

[Masterdog]

edit - stupid stupid

 

[GTAMADDOG]

43.4GB :/

Nothing compared to some here. It's a mixture of ripped CDs and 256-320kb/s MP3s. 5426 songs from 244 artists apparently.

I take pride in my music folder though, everything's named correctly and in the right place. If it isn't it usually drives me mad.

 

[james.miller]

195gb, ~90gb of that being flac and im still not 1/3 through my cd's. I HATE ripping cds.

How... just how? If that were ALL FLAC I could understand. How many albums is that? Mine is 2,500 albums, 127GB of mp3s and most of those are 256kb or below. And that's after years and years of daily buying of CDs, ripping promos, digital downloads and 'acquired' downloads.

lol. he has something like 10,000 albums, clearly

Thats what I'm now doing. It's all tagged correctly and in folders, it's just there's folders called 'new folder' 'new folder (2)' and so on with all sorts of stuff in them from disk changes and adding and removing my my PMP's

When I first ran the duplicate finder it came up with over 700gb of duplicated files. Oops.

 

[soundb0y]

about 120gb between 128k and 192k.

A lot of that is trance radio shows though.
