My music library's kind of modest since I haven't downloaded music in a long time (only 5 gigs). Over half of it is soundtracks. The half that is not soundtracks is mostly taken up by Rush and Depeche Mode.

Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.

About 34 days worth of music so diverse, it'd be easier to list what I don't have.

Towering shelves of vinyl records and CDs.

Or in harsh and cold reality, about two and a half weeks' worth of music stored in 50 gigs of ~5200 MP3s and a bit of FLACs. And four CDs.

Genre-wise, going by artists metal is unquestionably dominant, while going by albums electronic is slightly closer to metal in terms of dominance. Rock has a so-so presence, could be better. Hip-hop and music from before the nineties are severely underrepresented, which is a problem I'm seeking to rectify.

Artists I have the most releases by are Autechre (22 not counting with Hafler Trio), Godflesh (11), Neurosis (9 not counting with Jarboe), Radiohead (8) and Nine Inch Nails (7). That's rather representative of my favorites, I guess.

I'd say the majority of my music is on iTunes. I think I have about 1200 songs, or thereabouts.

As for the type, it's pretty limited in range. I mostly have AOR bands, soft rock and eighties hard rock stuff. Not terribly varied. It's kind of embarassing, really.

I was thinking of changing it all to something different.

Probably around 3000 songs, with classic rock, metal and progressive rock being the dominant genres.

iTunes: 1422 tracks, 4.4 days.

Grooveshark: 1843 tracks, doesn't tell me how many days.

Combined total of 3265 tracks. I also have a modest CD collection of around 100. Goes without saying that the prevalent genres are Indie (whatever that means), Baroque Pop, Post-Rock, Math Rock, Shoegaze, Ambient, Minimalist Techno and Experimental.

Indie

Well, if you wanna get technical about it, almost all of the music you've listened to is indie.

I've been thinking of switching to some kind of Rap Rock/Funk/Jazz/Blues/Reggae/Ska format. I have more than a few C Ds in that category, but it would be a shame to remove what I have already.

It's something of a quirk of mine, I suppose. When my preference changes, I feel inclined to completely switch everything I have on iTunes. I really shouldn't, you know, but it's like a compulsion.

I have 2450~ songs. Almost half of it is composed of Rock and Alternative, with a solid (rapidly growing) chunk of the rest being Christian. But I'm pretty musically diverse, and branch out in a lot of directions with no particular rhyme or reason.

Two chests of C Ds. A few gigs on this computer, a few gigs on the other one + stuff I have on my cellphone. Mostly Dark Wave with metal as a close second and shitloads of other genres after it. I like listening to different stuff, couldn't stand genre isolation

My music collection is pretty diverse, though a plurality of my stuff is Industrial, there is quite a bit of Psytrance, Neoclassical, a few Acid House compilations, some Trip-Hop, Prog Metal, 80's Synthpop, Thrash Metal, Breakcore, House, Gabber and Blackened Death Metal.

You actually pay attention to that? My most played list is very inaccurate because it doesn't count my iPod.

Well, obviously it doesn't determine what I listen to (I mean, I wouldn't look at it and say, "I ought to listen to that one more often to get it to a higher position." That would just be foolish). However, it's interesting to see what bands I'm listening to more often.

An interesting thing about my most played list; all of the songs sound exactly the same.

Wow. I have about 1.5 GB of music, since usually I listen to music on the radio. Mostly pop and R&B, though there is some rap and soundtrack.

About 70 GB. I still haven't listened to a lot of it, though. The vast majority of it is progressive rock and metal of various genres.

I have about 5 GB of soundtracks in one of my backup drives that I use as background music when reading and stuff.

As for music I actively listen to, I rarely keep more than 8 GB (my MP 3 player capacity) in my computer at a time.

Apart from my 200 or so actual C Ds, I have boxes of downloaded music burned to CD Rs, and can't really tell how how much music is in them.

Most of my music is stored elsewhere, though what remains on my iTunes is predominantly new stuff, noise and obscure cassette culture music, peppered with smatterings of experimental electronica and albums by cult bands that no-one really cares about.

37 days and 89 GB of music. I have a 500GB hard drive that I keep it all on. As for genre, pretty much every kind of music under the sun— if it's a well-regarded classic or influential, I probably have it. It's mostly indie rock and 80s punk, though.

And a single shelf of C Ds, I guess. And an even smaller stack of vinyls.
