442 gig. 6,352 folders. 102,520 songs. The first stage of the MP3 Project is done. All of my mp3s that were formerly stored on CDs and DVDs are now stored on my home network. No more digging through lists, bulging binders and towering stacks of CDs\/DVDs just to find the album I’m looking for. Now, with just a few clicks, I can be listening to anything from ABBA and AC\/DC to Zakk Wylde and ZZ Top, with lots (and lots and lots) of stuff in between. The entire collection has been backed up to an external drive, which is being stored off-site. I’ve also imported my collection into Songbird, and am in the process of cleaning up my tags …<\/p>\n

After dumping the directory into Excel and playing with it for a few minutes, here are the artists with the most albums on my hard drive: AC\/DC, Alice Cooper, Anthrax, Beastie Boys, Beatles, Beck, Black Sabbath, Buckethead, Insane Clown Posse, Iron Maiden, KISS, Korn, Machine Head, Madonna, Marilyn Manson, Megadeth, Metallica, Motley Crue, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, NOFX, Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, Public Enemy, Queen, REM, Sepultura, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, The Cure, Therapy, Tori Amos, and Weird Al Yankovic.<\/p>\n

That’s actually a fair representation of some of my favorite music, although a couple of them stand out like sore thumbs. I couldn’t name you a single Insane Clown Posse song — I must’ve just run across their albums and absorbed them into the collection for some reason. Therapy released a ton of CD Singles, which is why they made the list. Then there are bands like the Beastie Boys, who only have seven studio albums, but appear on the list over twenty times, thanks to live bootlegs, imports, and CD singles. <\/p>\n

In honor of completing Phase I, I have completed one of those mp3 memes where the goal is to put your mp3 player on random and attach a randomly selected song title as an answer to each question. A few of them turned out sorta\/kinda funny, but most of them were just jiggerish. Oh well.<\/p>\n
