    I've got that album, but...  It's an .mp3!

    I find all the yapping about waves vs. mp3's interesting.  I keep wondering just how much disk space (and backup space) I'd need if all I had were wave files!  My current stock of music (most of which is 192kbps mp3's) is a little over 2 GB as it is...

    My collection of MP3's is just over 20 GB and around 6,200 songs. A fair whack of them are 320kbps though none of them are wav's. 


    However, I haven't amassed any more since I decided to cough up for a $10/month premium Spotify subscription. I have just about every song I'd ever want (except Zappa's catalog) available to me streamed at 320kbps, and I can listen to them on my phone at 320kbps too (although you can also download them onto your phone to listen to offline). I've barely opened my MP3 folder since then.

    I almost always have an iPod on shuffle play while I'm working.  My problem is that I like a LOT of genres so that means a lot of music for each one otherwise you get what most of the radio stations seem to have lately - about 50 songs that repeat so often you get tired of them.  I'm well over 100,000 songs now and there's lots of interesting variety!

    He already knows.
     
    The only mp3's I have were of the albums/cd's I already have, and then the Space Pirate Radio shows that the cassette tapes finally died around 2009 and 2010 and I was able to save about 400 hours or more.  Those shows probably have the equivalent of about 1,000 more albums and such ... maybe even more.
     
    Maybe one or two other things here and there ... that I can't even remember!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
