Spotify's selection still pales before the personal and university libraries I've seen in my day.

The concept is a failure from the outset as the only recordings they can feature are commercially licensed tracks for which they could secure permission. That is a minuscule percentage of the available recordings out there.

If you don't have your own server and uncapped unlimited data, I suppose there is a convenience factor for which some would find Spotify satisfactory. But for archivists, historians, music scholars, completeists, and lunatic music fanatics, there are much better options available.

7.116 (50.5 GB) , not counting video game tunes and downloaded music videos.
Not a crazy amount compared to the average Musicbanter user I can see, but I would have had a lot more if I didn't delete all albums I don't own anymore. I tend to weed out my collection every once in a while since I feel like I can't realistically listen to hundreds and hundreds of albums.

I always rip my albums at max quality even though I'm too tin-eared to hear the difference. Go figure.

Well not all of us have the luxury of even knowing as much music as you do. So I'd say Spotify is good for the most part. It definitely has more than I'll ever listen to.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Only 215 songs? I figured you would have a lot more than that.
