As to the rest, I will acquiesce that digital transfer has made songs from this decade easier to retrieve, but I was working under the assumption that everyone had uploaded all the CDs they own to their library. I know I have every CD I own on my iTunes library, and many that I don't own yet got my hands on one way or another (but plan to purchase).

Sadly, I'm a lazy bum and I don't actually have much of my music tagged with the year **** iTunes, I need something that does it for me. I feel like a decent amount of my music is from this decade and the 90's, but it would be interesting to see how true it is. I was really surprised with how much new stuff a lot of you have. I'll spend the rest of the night trying to tag my music and get back to you on that.

Alright so here are some numbers based strictly on what's ripped/downloaded to my computer.

1960s - 1244 songs/105 albums - 4%
1970s - 2863 songs/383 albums - 10%/14%
1980s - 1972 songs/202 albums - 7%
1990s - 8208 songs/741 albums - 28%/26%
2000s - 15272 songs/1422 albums - 52%/51%

29641 songs/2802 albums

About what I expected. Even an old bastard like me has more from this decade than others! (again, not counting stuff on the shelf that's not ripped)

This isn't going to be completely accurate since a lot of my songs don't have a year attached, I'll try to get them all though. A note: I really like music from the 2000s

4997/5507 songs in my library are from the 2000s, that is 90.7%!

Wow, I feel like I need to listen to older music now.

I just added 10 more and I'm about to rip another CD.

My numbers are ~ :

1960s - 10%
1970s - 25%
1980s - 20%
1990s - 25%
2000s - 25%

That's roughly it, pretty even spread actually. Looking at decimals, the 90s win over the 70s by a gnat's whisker. There's some overlap so the total is over 100. That's because of compilation albums that sometimes show up as belonging to more than one decade. There's also a fraction of music in older decades, but it's too little to carry much weight.

edit :

The reason the 60s is less I guess is because I'm mainly interested in music that happens quite late in that decade.

I was afraid you'd do some 3D visual representation xD
