Just wondering :

most of you probably have mp3 collections of your favourite eps/lps/singles/DJ mixes etc.

My collection recently topped 100 GB of music, which is a sizable bunch of music.

What about the rest of you?

I'm not sure how many GB's I have but my darling bf tells me if I get any more music I have to fork out for a new hard drive (although he's been threatening this for a while now, but keeps finding more room for me

).

All I know is I have too much music to ever get bored of it....love it

foonjir6 Jan 2006, 1:22pm

i got around 8gb. thats all sorts, not just dance.

dbbr6 Jan 2006, 1:25pm

That's my dilemna. 100 GB > 40 GB iPod. So I'm constantly swapping stuff on and off.

When the new 80 GB iPods come out in a few months, I will still have too much music :-)

ravinghamr6 Jan 2006, 1:38pm

When I ripped my CD collection a while back, I had 40 GB
there and then. I've been buying CDs since about 1990,
and have a lot of old tresor / novamute / +8 /
and jungle stuff.

Then , swapping with other people, and buying more
CDs, and downloading stuff as well.

Davinr6 Jan 2006, 5:44pm

I don't have illegally downloaded mp3s, so the 800GB of drives on my file server must be empty Mr Sony/BMG/Warner

Nothing to see here...move along....

TCBr6 Jan 2006, 5:47pm

joker4r6 Jan 2006, 8:04pm

20gig on laptop, and bout 20gig, on a few dvd and cd, but by now i wouldnt be suprised if a few r repeats

buphr6 Jan 2006, 8:15pm

I think i have a cool 20 gb on mine but its ever growing

Jutsinr6 Jan 2006, 9:36pm

Little over 40gig, but I went on a huge deleting spree recently to cull stuff that I haven't listened to for "too long".

Still a decent collection though

PrincessPeach1337r8 Jan 2006, 9:23pm

lol, i remember the day when my friend told me he had an mp3 collection that was just over 3gb and i thought that was huge!

i only have about 7gb on my computer, and then about 16 in total so far on my ipod...so not too bad

I got 36.3Gb of just dance music, a lot of albums and a fair few scattered songs. Also 48.2Gb of other random music which i desperatly need to sort through but meh.

Just wanted to know if any one has the Hardbass Generation 2 Album, i've heard its out but no idea where to get it from.

hahaha

i'm packing about 50gB, most of which is METAL! \m/ but seem to listen to less than 10gb of it. I still like to get my cd's out most of the time, but there is nothing like putting all those mp3's on shuffle and wasting away a few days in front of the stereo ...

player preference: winamp or xmms

incognito16 Mar 2006, 10:58am

hahaha this so is a my dicks bigger than urs forum

im sitting on about 68gig on hdd, 2 dvds and about 10 or so cds of mp3s

Using mp3 for a legitimate purpose and for which it was designed.....

BWAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

oh, you were serious...

if i'm going to back up my own cd's i prefer to use Ogg-Vorbis

Pro's:
Better compression than mp3
Better quality for the same size as mp3
Entirely free - mp3 players have to pay royalties...
Can do lossless compression - Ogg-FLAC
Fully supported by Winamp and many other free mp3 players

Con's:
not supported by windos media player... wouldn't really call that a con though, actually the fact it can't is a con by MS to only tell you of things that'll make them and other people money...

we need to have a mega lan to sync everyone's music collections..

here here What did happen to that?

Question for all you mp3 heads! is there a charger out there on the market? I use mine to death at work and need to take out a loan for batteries me thinks! I can't plug in to my computer (well i can but would get investigated by big burly angry men in uniforms) so what are the alternatives?????
cheers in advence, and forgive my tech numptiness

philbert24 Mar 2006, 1:31pm

if you get an Ipod shuffle they charge themselves when you plug them in to your PC - inbuilt rechargeables. same situation on cordless mice and shit, sif you're ever going to be so far away that a cable can't reach cos if you were you wouldn't be able to see what it is on the screen you're trying to click at!! BAH

so in short dude, unless you get a mini b82rez charger and do some rotating i think you're toast...

U can also have multi channel audio, not just stereo.

Like I have a rip of the Linkin Park dvd (just the audio) in VOB format and i get the full dolby digital 5.1 surround.... AWESOME

pink_n_fluffy24 Mar 2006, 1:37pm

no your wrong.. we had a laptop connected to a projector and we needed the mouse at the back of the room to change slides but there werent cables long enough for the computer to go to the back of the room.. so the mouse had to hide behind a screen!!!! IT HAPPENS

philbert27 Mar 2006, 12:54pm

yeah, but how many people have that setup?? i'm not saying it's never needed just most people like to have what they don't need. anywho, about the lan, we'll obviously be able to get people together it's just more the point of when and where... ideas??????????

DeL27 Mar 2006, 4:53pm

i think it fell aparrt whent eh vast difference of computer standards where brought up.. people wanted to play new games.. others wanted to play old games..not all peopel on here had computers that are capable of playing full spec games such as battlefield 2 or COD 2 counter strike source etc.. thhat and many people would have to install them at the night etc.. and alot of 'owners' who paid for keys woudlnt want others to install using their keys etc..

the idea also went for maybe goig to a LAN place that is fully set up paying for a few hrs and havcing a blast while doing it..

do a search shadow started the link.
