It seems to me that the numbers for how many songs people have are a little bloated because of multiple songs from one artist's CD. So, I think the number of artists you have would be a little bit more interesting.

For all you who aren't sure how to find the number of artists easily, just make sure iTunes is set to organize your music folder, then go to your home folder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music, and at the bottom of the window it should say how many different folders there are (and there should be one folder per artist).

Edit: An easier way to find this out is to click Browse and the numbers are listed at the top of each section in parentheses.

I have 182 artists in my library using the folder method, and 198 using the Browse method.

You're confusing quantity with quality.

Is there a way to count artists other than manually doing it?

[scottiB]

It should be listed in parentheses next to "All" in the Artist field.

Mine: 1285 Artists, 795 Albums, 9270 songs

I have a lot of compilation albums.

I'm sure there's a way to find out using the terminal. Or maybe by using shareware such as PodWorks (the best one IMO)

[Big Mac]

I may have the fewest albums so far: a measly 106

[d4nth3m4n]

992 artists, 902 albums, 7479 songs.

FULL 40gb (570MB free) ipod.

[Randman]

1,127 artists, 871 albums, 7,640 songs.

[ReggieX]

Somewhere around 4500 on quick glance, but there are some duplicates in there that aren't easily filtered out.

[drive-thru]

346 Artists, 568 Albums, 2926 Songs
This is after I slimmed down my Library yesterday and got rid of almost a gig of crap music.

iTunes 4.7 lets you search just for duplicated tracks.

[addiecool]

1035 Artists
3567 songs
719 Albums
37 Genres

All legit

[ajprice]

362, but thats accounting for different spellings of names in ID tags (can you spell Alanis Morissette? so many variations!), and one album I've got thats put track numbers in the artist column (!!!), so its probably between 330 and 350 at a rough guess of the true number.

It doesn't work with the iPod which is where I need that feature most

Huh, I didn't realize that. Anyway, it seems that doing it this way changes my numbers.

I now have 198 artists and 170 albums.

[Nodnarb]

111 artists. 196 alubms. 2416 songs. a whopping 7.2 days of music

I have a question for you, and everyone with that much music.
While it is awesome to collect music and watch your library grow, have you actually heard most of the music in your library? I would say I've listened to and like a good 90% of my 2500 songs, but there is some crap in there I need to get rid of. If you have listened to all that music, that is awesome but I don't see a point in just getting music you don't like or will never listen to.

[Demonhood]

1430 artists.
and i need more.
more.
more!

[xi_hyperon]

Approximately 190 artists. That seemed like a lot until I read this thread.

[Jaey]

Dammit Demonhood, how many songs do you have?

Well I probably have heard all the songs in my library but a lot of them are listened to like once every few months or years .

(10618 songs)

Duplicate Artists (ie Siouxsie & the Banshees vs. Siouxsie And The Banshees) I was talking about; I didn't use iTunes, I used MP3 Rage because I don't keep everything in my iTunes Library, it slows everything down.

Yes, I only keep the stuff I like, with a couple of exceptions for mixed compilations other people have made, I'd rather keep it all as they intended even if I don't listen to every track.

I love music, so I have a lot of it, whether records, CDs, or MP3s. I keep finding more cool stuff I like, so I keep it. The more the merrier!

Not if you manually manage your songs on your iPod, in-fact loads of features don't work then.

only 5609. i'll delete tracks i don't like, even if it breaks up a complete album. hence the strange artist/track ratio.

[alphasubzero949]

[Person Man]

499 artists, 336 albums, 3522 songs

Roughly 7 songs per artist. Many albums are compliations. I have one artist with 320 songs, and several are one-offs: only one song by that artist in the Library. Most are somewhere in between.

[69camaro]

111 genres, 1195 artists, 1019 albums, 4641 songs.

[Kenneth]

80 genres, 542 artists, and 1055 albums.

[joltguy]

192 Artists at the moment, but then again iTMS Canada only opened last month.
