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.
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.

Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!Well, if you wanna get technical about it, almost all of the music you've listened to is indie.
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!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.
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is to choose immobility as a means of transportation."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
"Take your (...) hippy dream world, I'll take reality and earning my happiness with my own efforts" - BarkeyMy 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.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.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.
I've got 32 GB in total. The three bands I have the most material of are:
- The Beach Boys (14 GB, 2491 files)
- Pink Floyd (4.1 GB, 845 files)
- My Ultra Lounge collection (2 GB, 506 files)

"Wax on, wax off..." "But Mr. Miyagi, I don't see how this is helping me do Karate..." "Pubic hair is weakness, Daniel-san!"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.
In a word: Perfection.

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.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.

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.
