Guest davidness Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Almost 6,800 tracks stored on my QNAP NAS. I originally ripped my CD's as MP3s, but now I'm going back and re-ripping in Apple lossless. All selectable using my iPhone and/or iPad and Apple's Remote application. Very cool.

Guest davidness Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I went back and checked after seeing this. I was wrong, it's about 6,800 tracks. Sorry about that. One too many zeros. And I buy a LOT of CD's at yard sales for .25 to $1 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnalogWave Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm away from home for the holidays but the count is @ 2,500, ripped in Apple Lossless format. 2,908 songs, 8.2 days, 75.72 jiggawatts. Short-dicked again.I feel it's important to state that quality often trumps quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke_in_KC Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I feel just a tiny bit outclassed: I have approximately 40G of tunes, most in 256k AAC. IfI could hear the difference between this and lossless, I'd worry aboutit. (I keep the library mirrored in two locations, as backup, so Iguess I have 80G of stuff...) Some of you guys have incredible amounts of storage! All together, I only have about 420G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 5 TB FLAC Stored on 20 TB RAID 10 Array. Now that sounds serious. Especially if all 20 TB are dedicated to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuchak Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've got millions of songs. I subscribed to the MicroSoft Zune store. It's about $14 a month and you get unlimited streaming and downloads. So long as your license key is current anything you download will play. If you cancel for a while all the songs you downloaded stay on your machine and you can reactivate at any time. You also get to pick 10 songs per month to keep permanently so a key is no longer required to play them. I don't have a Zune player. I just like access to the huge library of music. It's amazing what they have and for less than the price of a single CD each month I'm happy with the price point. The Zune desktop software is not the best but it's decent. It took me a couple of hours to get really comfortable with it. I was ready to uninstall it during the first 15 minutes but I stuck it out and once I got used to it I kind of like it. They offer a free two week trial so you can check it out. The drm encrypted songs are at 192kbps with 2 pass cbr. The drm free mp3s are 2pass cbr at 320 kbps. I highly recommend taking the two week trial, just be prepared to spend a few hours learning the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuchak Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Then you haven't tried it. The depth and breadth of the catalogue included in the monthly fee is impressive. I has everything from Megadeth to Gene Kruppa to Shel Silverstein to old radio shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE36 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 49 GB halfway through loading CD Collection. 5 GB in High Rez, three Max converted from FLAC to AIFF. Pure Music / iTunes 1650 Songs, 4.7 Days. 99% of time there are less than 10 albums in active rotation but using iPad Remote has rasied this from 3 - 4 albums in active rotation. I love the high Rez files 24/96 really approaches vinyl or live but I am impressed how good 328kbps MP3 sounds compared to 1,400kbps of CD.
