Time and Opinions
Johnny C:
It's tough to tell because I have music in several formats and that I haven't bothered ripping - some of that is stuff I haven't heard, but some of it's stuff I listen to on the regular, like Yank Crime.
W/r/t your final question, I don't think it's actually that much of a killer. All it says is that at the time I thought they were good enough records to keep around. I've sold off the ones that weren't.
Inlander:
All my music is on C.D. and I've just recently finished iTunesing them all.
35.6 days, 94.96 gigabytes.
I'll address the other questions in this thread later, perhaps.
E. Spaceman:
As it happens, itunes is right now scanning my media folder (and being pitifully slow about it). In acouple of hours i expect to know more or less how much music is in my computer in mp3 format. Sort of a cheat but i have an inherited record collection numbering somewhere over a thousand CDs and hundreds of vinyl records (mostly Classical and Jazz).
Most of the music i have I have listened to at least a couple of times but I tend to only listen to a dozen or so albums for months at a time. In addition, many of the albums i have are compilations, which usually have limited relisten value. Personally I don't understand it when people want larger mp3 players because of the 15000 songs that my ipod has in it at the moment I could do with carrying 100 and simply changing the music from time to time.
As an aside, am I alone in thinking that along with countless benefits, the ability to instantly download and listen to an album has changed our attitude towards listening to music? Added a sense of dispose-ability maybe? Sometimes I wonder, mainly while reading our own mediaf!re thread, if people now really listen to the music or just hear it and then move on to the next thing. Maybe I am just wrong but I feel that some of the albums we filed in the "only listened to once" folder would be regulars if we weren't as accustomed to instant gratification. On this I am most interested on Paul's view due to obvious reasons.
JD:
There is some stuff I feel I should like, but I don't really. Radiohead is one of those things.

I noticed this about my listening habits about a year ago. My music listening habits have changed pretty drastically since then, actually. I have regained my ability to become totally obsessed with a band. I didn't realise how much I missed that feeling. I have been on a massive Neil Young kick lately. Before that I was listening to the song "Will You Still Love Me in December?" by Julie Doiron about 13 times a day.

I only have a tiny 4gig mp3 player that I barely ever listen to. I can't seem to wrap my head around people constantly having headphones in whenever they are in a public space. People don't spend enough time day dreaming anymore.
