I use 320k for my Cowon s9 to save some space, only on the albums I really listen to though and most digital download albums.

If you really want to save space use v0. Sounds the same.

Has anybody used MP3packer?

15.3 gb on this computer
340gb on another
all mp3

70 Gb MP3 and 4 (AAC). Some old 128kbps CD conversions, more recently 320kbps.

I have probably listened to less than half. There's quite a lot of rubbish in there.

So much music my collection is like 5gb

marc2003 · 23 Jan 2011 at 19:11

32gb tak (my own cd rips)
13gb mp3

Inquisitor · 23 Jan 2011 at 19:20

95 GB over 18,100 files, almost all MP3 with the odd FLAC album here and there. Quite a bit came from a friend's hard drive and it isn't listened to.

so do i, except i ripped all mine...well, in the process of.

was there a point in there somewhere, or was it just a poorly thought and thinly veiled stab at piracy?

Klo · 23 Jan 2011 at 21:48

33gb of mp3's.

Glaucus · 23 Jan 2011 at 21:49

1.6gb all 320kbp mp3s, 189 tracks

use to have about 80GB deleted it all. What is the pointed only ever listened to a mere fraction of it and I went legal. Now only buy individual tracks I want and listen to and the odd album.

No, I was making the point exactly as you see it: I much prefer CDs to even lossless digital formats, and vastly more than lossy formats.

If you weren't going to believe the answer, what was the point of asking the question? And why do you find the answer so hard to believe as well? Digital is not the "right" way of getting music, just a way. Some people still prefer LPs for instance. I disagree with them, but have no issue with them wanting their sounds in that form. Each to his/her own, as they say.

You still own a Compact CD player then for on the move? lol

-----
3GB I only store music I listen to often. It's on my iPhone/Music Folder. No need to keep 100's of GBs for the sake of it.

They are in MP3. Nice and simple.

Mr.Nick · 24 Jan 2011 at 10:00

30.2gb currently

I don't listen when I'm on the move, except in the car, which has a CD player. Nor do I want to.

meridian, your original statement and what you are saying now are two different things.

0GB. I like buying and owning CDs.

M

0gb, because you like buying and owning cd's. correct ?

No, I was making the point exactly as you see it: I much prefer CDs to even lossless digital formats, and vastly more than lossy formats.

you prefer music on cd's to ripped music. Fine but...completely different.

I hope you can see now why your original statement looks like a dig at the pirates amongst us ? after all, every one of my rips is from my own cd's which i bought myself. I like owning cd's too, but i like the convenience off ripping them as well.

So do I, thats why I buy them and rip them to the server - that way I can listen to them pretty much anywhere.
