How big is your music collection

i have 2 tb of mp3 and 4tb of karaoke on hdd and yeh its all backed up. it does suck to lose your collection.
i lost about 900gb a few years back and it was lucky i had copied the drives and sent to a friend or i would have lost some really good stuff.
as for limewire .. yeah its a virus heaven.
i run an IRC based p2p server and can proudly say thank goodness we dont have many virus's roll thru and the ones we do get 100% of them originated from users that got files from limewire or kazaa

I've got around 170 gigs, 17500 songs.

I'd like to ask another question for everyone if thats ok. How have you all accumulated your music? cd collection, itunes, bittorrent, friends? The last few years i've used bittorrent...

IRC is how i got all mine. its like a chat room only people just sit around and share music.
is fairly safe since its true peer to peer you connect directly to my pc and get them.
bittorrent is ok my other place is news groups .. just google news group it costs anywhere from 10 to 20 a month but i can dl a dvd rip movie in about 30 minutes

rapidshare......

Been collecting forever,mostly from friends and family.Brother-in law ran a record store.Also a member of a crazed torrent web site.Get a lot of out of print music from there.Lots of ol rockin freaks like me with tons of music to share.

I think my music collection fluctuates... i usually have anywhere between 45- 50 gigs at a time but i have had a 120gb. hard drive full, a 60 gig ipod full, and a 40gig zune full ... no lie i think i spent 4 to 6 days nonstop upload /download from google lol i didnt realize it for 17 years but you could download music off of google.com and all thats needed is a little coding

The 70's might have had better music .. but we know how to get it for free...

Music i would recommend the most would be the doors because jim morrison is the most influential person of my life..

200 vinyls - when I use to spin records
200 CDs
10,000 Songs on my laptop for my turntables

When I download music, I used to use BitTorrent, now I use Rapidshare. It's much faster. I use BitTorrent for anything I can't find on warez forums.

I do not suggest P2P programs like KaZaA and Limewire.
