2248 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:07
Estimated playlist length: 154 hours 26 minutes 31 seconds

http://www.aprb06.dsl.pipex.com/playlist.htm to see it if you so desire.
All the "Manics - Track *" files are live bootlegs of the Manic Street Preachers greatest hits tour that I didn't name because I had much better things to be doing with my time. Also, there are a load of oddly named tracks around there which are Manics interviews and things.

Hmm...

591 Tracks
2.75Gb
36 hours 41 minutes 28 seconds.

Looks like i need a lot of catching up with my collection. If it makes it any much of a second prize, i have around 28 DIVX movies on my system.

Out of interest how do you guys keep backups of such large numbers of MP3's? Every so often i make a 6 CDRW backup set of my MP3 albums and singles. I guess a DVD burner would be useful for this kind of backup.

I don't do backups... Most of the mp3s there are ripped from albums I own (or my parents own). I suppose if my hard drive dies on me I will be incredibly annoyed...

# of tracks: 2,033
Total Length: I'd hate to think...
Total Filesizeize: 9.73Gb

That's pretty much my entire CD collection (that currently takes up half the house ) - much prefer to just have the 3 DVDs to carry around with me

I only used to have about 60 MP3 files on my old computer until we chucked it out and I just burnt them to 3 CD-r discs (20 on each in audio format-not data cos cheap shi**y players can't handle data format) but most of my CD collection are copied from other CD's or albums downloaded from net

I backup incrementally onto CD-Rs - although since converting my ripped collection from WMA to MP3 recently I haven't backed up, although I'll have a copy on my iPod I can restore from if needed with EphPod.

I've started putting my CD collection onto WMP9 so i can have foavourite lists of my music whilst on hte machine - i have around 240% of my collection on their and so far it is 338 items 24hrs. 11 mins 04 secs 1.31 Ghz. It saves my keep putting my cd's into the player - but when i have my cd's loud i put them through - wait for it my 22 yr. old
JV C Hi-fi!! What is the point of having your hi-fi collection on the PC when everyone has a perfectly more than adequate Decent hi-fi?!!
I think they are all in wma format because when i downloaded my mp3's from my old HP i download it onto cdr as in audio format so it still recognised it as wma format. (opposed to not re-recognising it as mp3)

I've just had a major clearout - everything is backed up onto disc (mp3 for the so-so stuff and audio for the albums I'll listen to for more than 1 track). All I have left on my HD if the entire "Now" collection form Now 1 to Now 57... 2307 files/7.75Gb's in total

Being hypocritical about putting my music onto the HDD i have and all of my grand total of around 60 cd's are on there- so: 869 items: 67hrs. 45mins. 03 secs. 4.70 gb. However, my main playlist - the ones get repeated over and over entitled: Alex's Playlist is - 76 items 3hrs 57 mins and 15 secs - 308.60 mb

Mine comes in at 76:46:38, 4.09GB. I've just bought a 160GB drive and can't wait to fill it up.

I find that having it hooked up to go through my Pie-in-the-ear (Pioneer) stereo its pretty good, but I'm trying to get a cheap dual output video card so I can have the playlist on a 9" monitor I rescued from the local Co-Op.

Ive got an exact copy of whats on my modded Archos MP3 player incase the HD dies (60gb).

Ive got encoded god knows how many tracks, but its over 600 CDs at 256kbs, and Its around three weeks of continous music. All from my CD collection (it took three months to rip the lot in my spare time).
