If you put every mp3 you have into a single playlist, how long is its total time? Mine is 176:49:13.

I heard the very coolest thing ever on KFJC (Foothill College radio station) today while driving to the grocery store. Someone was playing beat-broken, sampled, scratched swing music. I could have died, it had so much funk!

Uhhh...I have no idea since I have nearly 500 albums on my drive. :) Call it 400+ hours.

We-ell...

looking only at what's on my hard drive (there's 30-someodd CD-Rs worth awaiting capacity) it's 123:29:23.

That's 8.43 gigabytes.

If I've done the math correctly, that means 1 gig breaks down to 52,736 seconds. (on average), not accounting for different bitrates used in encoding and so forth. For ease of numbers, let's say 50k seconds per gig.

That means, if you assume 30 CD-Rs awaiting hard drive capacity, we've got another 417ish hours to add to that figure.

This of course doesn't count the 250ish CDs that also need to be ripped, but at this point the numbers are making my head hurt so I'm gonna stop at that.

...yer crazy. I mean, I knew mine would be small compared to many other people's, but now we're comparing a dwarf red star to a blue supergiant. O.o

yes, well, a lot of it materialized while I was working for a music download site, so I might have sort of an insider edge...

97:09:18. You've got me beat.

Well, if I count currently on my hard drive.. a big, fat zero. Loads and loads of suck. Stupid harddrive, and half my backups being corrupt as trying to frantically back them up before the harddrive died entirely wasn't too effective.

388:49:39, although that's high by one or two hours due to a few albums ripped in VBR that have the song lengths screwed up.

Mind you, that's only all the mp3s. I could easily triple that if I had the room to rip all the CDs in my collection.

Well, so could I probably, if I ripped them all (~200), but I only ripped the dozen or two that I actually listened to on a fairly frequent basis.
