Well then, if this were true, then you are irrelevant to this argument. You won't have any time to listen to all of those albums, nor would you be able to listen to them multiple times. It seems like you're here to argue me for the sake of arguing.

Lastly, there are almost 200,000 musicians in this world. 800/200,000 Not even 0.5%. ;3

Oh, I see. I was not saying you couldn't actually listen to them all atleast one, I was saying that the time it would take to listen to them all would force you to listen to them throughout a very long time period. Such as a year, yeah?

But think about if you didn't listen to the same albums as much as you have (I see a lot of plays in the 20's), and all that free time to discover more than 800 artists. That's all I'm saying, mate.

Insanctuary confirmed for fedora-core pleb.

I only keep my absolute favourites in iTunes, both cause SSD space is precious and I don't like scrolling through fluff, which is 75.04 GB 613 albums, some in lossless audio some at 320. External HDD with about ~1700 albums, I've gone through about 70% of those, thought they were alright, the rest is a backlog I have to get to. I've got 17 LPs and 22 7" records (some EPs some singles) and about 50 odd CDs, though about 20 of those are unopened copies of albums I already have digitally, just for collections sake. I also have a small bag full of cassettes somewhere from Bandcamp artists that insist on bundling them.

Based off of what evidence?

Yeah, but I don't want to? What am I missing out on by listen to an artist a certain number of times? Listening to an album in one sitting is great. Maybe you've had some bad experiences because not too many albums I've ever listened have felt repetitive in an uninteresting way.

I don't think you have much respect for an artists if you think they're only capable of one or two songs you deem worth listening to. It's not a race. Listen to whatever you want and whatever pace you want. Just don't make ridiculous claims.

That's all I'm saying, mate.

Sure, just don't be as condescending next time. That's all.

That's fine, I'm not forcing you to do anything. I'm just sharing what I have gathered between people that hoard music compared to those who listen to whatever they like throughout an unpredictable path. It seems to me that music is better off like animals, where they are being chosen by us to be their slaves. I don't like how we think we own music and sound, when it can be as free as ourselves.

I'm not talking about the artists. I'm talking about music in its entirety which is what facilitates artists. I'm also not making this out to be a race, or care what you make out of this discussion. What matters is that we both said what we wanted to say, which did not go left unheeded.

I'm not condescending, it only seems that way.

I think I only got like 700 songs on my iTunes, totalling up to 7GB. It's pretty big to me, but it seems dwarfish compared to what other people are posting here.

I mostly listen to music via Youtube anyway. I'm not really an avid music collector.

17.3 GB in total
don't know or care what kind of files there are

180 gigs. Spanning hipster-indie pop, all of the classic underground rap artists, a small amount of norse metal, tons of underground screamo and post hardcore, lots of witch house, lots of abstract experimental shit like Black Dice and Growing, lots of southern trap and mainstream rap, and all the old DC punk/hardcore scene artists.

I have a folder with stuff that isn't available on Spotify, which isn't so large because most things find their way on there nowadays, but I have about a shit ton of artists all in all. I listen to just about everything, but I tend to drift towards post-rock and shoegaze, and singer/songwriters.

Some of my favorites recently are Kinoko Teikoku and Tokyo Shoegazer. Some of my all time favorites albums are Nightdrive by Chromatics, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Also ambientish minimal electronic music with piano that Alva Noto did with Ryuchi Sakamoto. Fuck I'm rambling.

6.50gb

~900 songs 55 albums

Gotta delete some shit I don't listen to

4,051 songs, 11.2 days worth of music in total. So that's good if I ever get trapped somewhere for eleven days.

My man. Have you heard Alva Noto's Xerrox albums? Love those, Ryoji Ikeda does similar stuff.

On my computer, I currently have about 20 weeks of music, which adds up to a little over 300GB in my music folder. My backlog is currently 11GB.

That's it, I guess. I don't know what else to say about it.

I enjoy pretty much everything Alva Noto's done, those are some really cool albums and I love the blend of distortion with the ambient tunes in those. It's a really awesome techy atmosphere. I haven't checked out Ryoji Ikeda yet so thanks for the tip!

79.4 GB, 15.412 Files in 1.945 Folders (yeah, I keep a folder for every band I have on my hard drive and every album has it's own folder as well... except when I only have that one song, then it goes into the "Various Artists" folder).
39.6 GB are Radio Plays (or "Full Cast Audio Drama", which I think is a better term).

The rest is metal, punk and very little german hip hop.

It's a few gigs of mostly ambient, trip hop and electronic, there's some other stuff too. It's all on an Ipod because I don't trust putting everything on one device because knowing me I'd lose it.

I thought you were talking about audio submissions we favorited here. I have literally dozens here, but my tool to download music videos doesn't even work anymore. Besides, I can just favorite them in certain sections.
