Just a general question I've always end up asking everywhere I go...
You can answer anyway you want to...
Number of artists...
Number of songs...
GBs...
whatever...
Remember to post proof if you can..
I'll start....
200GBs worth of music...
10000+ artist in my library...
12 years in the making...
I aim for variety...I don't like downloading full albums...I usually only download the best songs...
Mostly stuff that's waiting to be listened to and then archived on a DVD.Size: 28,4 GB (30.567.292.443 bytes)
Contains: 4.888 files, 312 folders
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Haha... too much, over 2 TB :x
Music Freak and Home DJ
Not much. I guess 300Gb+ (Classical music, OSTs & Bollywood).
I have no idea...somewhere between 500gb and a TB, maybe more.
Anyway, it is not about quantity but quality
My "collection" has some very rare contents, and it is mostly in VBR 256kbps
Number of artists...hard to say, a few thousand
Number of albums...around 40,000 (multiple same-name entries not included, all types of releases included, like cdm/cds/dvda/VA... so the number of actual full-length albums from individual artists is lower)
Number of songs...around 400,000 (40,000*10)
Preferred genre(s)...metal in all flavors (in the collection - metal:other = roughly 5:1)
TBs...around 0,5-1 inadequately sorted on cd's, 2+ sorted on dvd's, 1-1,5 unsorted/new on hd's
Quality...roughly 90% scene releases, 9,9% homebrew, 0,1% lossless (cd's excluded)
Years in the making...5+3~8
used to download single songs (or supposed top 5-10) of different artists, later on switched to full albums, pretty much collect all metal related material, discographies of favorite artists (everything or full albums only), best-of compilations from other known/decent artists (sometimes their top albums), have an average number of general compilations and to less extent soundtracksOriginally Posted by Resurrection
as for the 'best songs', i noticed how different sources/reviewers/... have a number of different tastes (personally dependent or influenced by mainstream opinion-makers) in picking top rated songs/albums, which collided with mine enough times, thus i tend to avoid their questionably useful suggestions and try to use my own criteria while listening to the audio material in order to select what is worth a replay (or many) or a special favored status among the lot
I'm not a big fan of discographies I must say...
Even the best of artists sometimes have 'filler songs' in albums...My storage memory is precious to me and I would hate to waste it on crappy songs...
I usually keep the bitrate preference somwhere between 128 - 256...Most of my collection usually has songs in 192KBPS VBR...
I found a little something for you guys...
See if it helps you...
the filler-problem appears everywhere, but imo only when one personally listens (sometimes multiple times) to an album, can one decide/choose which song would be quality/medium/filler material (top rated songs and compilation choices being a deceptive way of measuring, leaving out much valuable contents, especially in less mainstream music) according to personal preferences, also, some/most albums have a certain logic regarding song placement, thus maintaining the overall album/songs flow/interconnection/wholenessEven the best of artists sometimes have 'filler songs' in albums...My storage memory is precious to me and I would hate to waste it on crappy songs...
as for the 'quality chart', the 10 is not cd-quality (as someone might assume), here's another one (fig. 3 is cd-quality) - check the unusually small differences between 128k and 320k encoding (fig. 5 & 7), which supports the 192k or VBR (newer) choice for mp3 (quality/compression/size), which were/are fi. used by the scene groups
Although they are universally described in the mainstream press as being of "CD quality," MP3s and their lossy-compressed ilk do not offer sufficient audio quality for serious music listening. This is not true of lossless-compressed formats such as FLAC, ALC, and WMA lossless... But lossy files achieve their conveniently small size by discarding too much of the music to be worth considering.
Both MP3 and AAC introduce fairly large changes in the measured spectra, even at the highest rate of 320kbps. There seems little point in spending large sums of money on superbly specified audio equipment if you are going to play sonically compromised, lossy-compressed music on it.
But "CD quality"? Yeah, right!Code:http://www.stereophile.com/features/308mp3cd/index1.html
around 300GB and its growing and growing
213gb as of this moment. I only keep discographies at atleast 192kbps and above. I am weird that way. Took me 5 yrs and running
