Just wondering how many songs you all have in your iTunes collection. I'll start, right now my collection up to 310GB of music. I have just over 75,000 songs in my iTunes folder.

Wow, guess I'm a lightweight. Only 10.5 Gb. It's not even mostly music. My Firefly and Serenity videos take up a lot of space.

I don't even see how you could possibly have time to collect that much music, much less listen to it.

Approximately 128 x 98 pixels.


Oh, I see... 26GB - 6245 songs, but I mostly only keep individual songs I actually like. I don't rip whole albums just for the sake of it.

2525, 13.67 GB

(I have to admit that I don’t see how anyone can fill up a terabyte drive with purchased music unless we’re talking lossless, although I’m sure it has been done)

around 300GB. iTunes seems to have stopped counting though, and doesn't accurately list how many songs I have or how much data is contained within the library. Probably 40 000 songs or thereabouts.

Last I checked it was 80 gigs and 11,000ish songs. But with TV shows, I think it's hovering around the 110 gig mark.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

The whole thing = 152.52 GBs

Broken Down:

- Music: 20.58 GBs (4061 tracks | 11.9 days worth)

- Movies: 27.69 GBs (156 Titles | 2.2 Days worth)

- TV Shows: 36.92 GBs (80 Titles | 2.3 Days worth)

- Podcasts: 1.28 GBs (15 Episodes | 12.5 Hours worth)

What, me worry?

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.
