Your music collection

I was wondering what size your music collection is, either on your computer, cd's, or vinyl records. I consider myself a "audiophile" and you'll pretty much see that in my collection as almost 80 percent of it is lossless :oops: ... I have all my music on my computer for convenience, so here are some stats:

Artists: 157
Albums: 427
Songs: 5849
Duration: 2wk 3d 8:15:44.356
Codec: lossless (FLAC; 77.6%); lossy (MP3; 22.4%)
Total Size: 136GB (146 842 737 131 bytes)

The total size is getting somewhat out of hand considering its only close to 6000 songs... but i like my quality, cant stand the lossy formats ^^.

I find lossless format completely pointless, but if you want to waste space on your hard drive that's your prerogative. Anything above 128 and your ear can't tell the difference, technically. That's the whole point of lossy: to remove extra information that the human ear can't understand (hear).

I have 17.6 GB of music with 4,592 songs.

i think i have just ove 500gbs worth of music on cd, mp3, vinel, and cassette

Well sure, if you dont have a proper audio setup... I'll admit there are songs where you cant seperate one from another, but if you have a... lets say a guitar solo from Led Zeppelin ("Stairway to heaven" for example) you will be able to hear a clear difference between a 128 mp3 file and a lossless file. Try burning both of them to a cd and playing it on your home theater set, and then make a comparison. This is exactly the reason i dont buy music online, the only format available is lossy (except for some independent artists) like you have with itunes, msn, or any other big companies selling music online. You get less quality, yet you pay almost the same price, and dont even get me started on DRM. I bought some flac music at ALLOFMP3 once, but it quickly turned out they weren't as legal as i thought, hence the lawsuit and why its down now.

The same goes for pictures btw, take lossy and lossless png for example ... If you look quickly you wont see any difference, but start to pay attention to detail and the lossy format starts to become a pain (and yeah, i know its not exactly the same):
