What is the size of your physical and digital music collection?

I do not have a very large collection, but by no means small. About 40-45 Gigs i would say.

To experiment with ways to work with polls, I've improved on the this thread which had a poll which both underestimated the size of people's collections and used a less optimal way to measure the real size of it - how much music you have - which should be a count of songs or the total amount of music measured in time rather than GBs which the old poll did. For simplicity, I've gone with amount of songs.

Also, since people are posting about their physical collections, let's include that in the topic

How many music LPs, CDs, Minidiscs, Casettes and so on do you have?

Cheers,
Tore

At the moment, I have about 53.5 gigs, and increasing every day.

own?
about 200 vinyl records
350 or so CDs
still have a bag of cassette tapes somewhere

downloaded?
50 gigs or so - and about 8 gigs of that is homemade recordings from over the years.

Vinyls - about 300
CD's - 2,000 about
Cassettes - 20 about
And all of them are on my computer so that would be more than 80...

40 gigs. I think I'm gonna have to do some cleaning up, there's no ways I listen to or need that much music...

Inuzuka Skysword · 05-31-2008, 03:45 PM

44 Gigs. I have to buy an external hard drive really bad.

sl1ck · 05-31-2008, 05:53 PM

Around 70 gigs, although I only listen to about 40 gigs of it. I also have over 50 albums on vinyl.
