oh, i did remember the point! when people say “you could never listen to that much music”, they are wrong. on this install of itunes i’ve listened to about 40,000 of the songs in my collection in about a year and a half. since sept 2004 according to my last.fm i’ve listened to 130,000 songs. never underestimate a person who listens to music at 8 hours every working day, plus tons of other various times when listening to music is needed.

Nice! I have about 65,000 songs in my collection, but its probably only about 400 gigs. 75%+ of the collection is early punk, 60’s garage, 60’s soul, etc etc, so actually most of those songs never eclipse 3 minutes in length. so it makes sense. i am not sure of the point of this post, but good luck!

I went through this exercise about a year ago…if you haven’t thought of/or planned this already I recommend the following; After I archived my mp3 collection (~525GB/78,806 files) to an external 1TB sata drive, my buddy copied it….and then my other buddy copied it. Hard drives fail…but knowing that my 2 closest friends also have a copy is peace of mind. It took me waaaay too long to amass this collection of music, I would die if I lost it.

I started moving my movie collection from VHS to DVD in November. Since starting to record on DVDs a couple of years ago I’ve thrown in a tape here and there to copy over but not a lot. But I got tired of doing it that way. So now instead of actually recording the crappy VHS versions to DVD I’ve been getting everything I can again from Netflix, the library and TV. 2 months or so in and I’ve only completely finished off 15 tapes. 1800 more to go.
