Size of Music Collection AND Media Breakdown

(1/14) > >>

nescience:
Hey kids,  I'm curious to see which formats people are keeping their music in these days, and at what volume, so I'd like to hear the size of your collection in all the formats you have.  I will start:

nescience
CD: ~1000
Vinyl: ~250
Digital: ~7500 tracks at 30 GB, roughly 250 full albums
Tape: 0
8-Track: 0
Reel-to-Reel: 0
DVD: 2
SACD (only, not counting hybrids): 0

edit:

When I say CD, I mean ONLY released CD, not albums stored on your computer that once were CDs, not personal CD burns or anything like that.  If you have a CD-R you got at a show or as a promo, I call it a CD.  If your friend made you a copy of Who's Next, that's a collection of digital files.  If you downloaded (even legally) a copy of Who's Next, that's a collection of digital files.  If your friend made you a mix, I'd probably call that a collection of digital files, but that's up to you.  If a local band you know gave you their CD-R demo, I'd probably call that a CD.  Use your judgement.

Anyway, if anyone else can think up any other media, go ahead and post.  Well, on with it!

edit 2: realized I have a couple DVD-Audio discs

Bastardous Bassist:
CDs - 262 (I am but a poor college student, and there's also a bunch of stuff out there that I don't really have a strong interest in buying)
Digital - 5163 (42 GB, no idea how many full albums)
All else - 0 (I don't have a good enough stereo system to justify buying a good record player, a good record cleaner and getting vinyl.  I just have a Sony stereo reciever and a pair of NHT SB3's)

surgerydrugsnrocknroll:
CD: about 10-20
Vinyl: about 5-10
Digital: ~1703 albums(95% are full albums), about 20,000 songs
Tape: 0
8-Track: 0
Reel-to-Reel: 0
DVD: 0
SACD (only, not counting hybrids): 0


i really should get a way to backup all my music,
cause at this point, if my harddrive crashes, i say goodbye to almost all of my carefully collected music.

DVDs are probably my favorite choice.  They hold 4.7Gigs of data.  What more could you want?

surgerydrugsnrocknroll:
it would take me about 25 dvds to backup my whole collection,
and im too lazy to do that.

im probably going to just buy a new harddrive(probably external) and just copy everything to that
