good move! it is unfortunate that the bands themselves cannot be so easily deleted*...they too are taking up valueable space.

*note: I wish no personal harm to the individuals in the bands I just wish their music to cease.

I have not very many MP3's it is not worth my time to rip my cds and slow internet makes it a pain in the ass. Mostly I download indie stuff from bands websites that I could not otherwise get and use winmx for obtaining b-sides, covers, live and acoustic versions of songs... also to check out new music before buying a cd.

As a matter of interest:
if u were to press play and let all 10000 play out,
how long would it play for?

phaxx · 23-01-2002 7:18pm

Last time I checked, it was ~256 hours, and probably hasn't changed a whole lot since then. I'll do another count tonight sometime.

LOL, I actually did this with my 12,000 and it came to around 29 days, which considering time I'm asleep means even if I listened to them all day every day, I'd only get through them 8 times per year

I think it worked out as 10-12 days continuous play depending on the bitrate they were encoded at.

Eh? What does the bitrate have to do with the length?

MarcusGarvey · 23-01-2002 7:41pm

Heh, DOH, yeah what the hell was I thinking. I'm sorry I wasn't thinking.

Ah, I know how I calculated that now. I divided the diskusage by what the avergage minute of mp3 in mbs is.

azezil · 23-01-2002 7:49pm

How could you possibly have 10000! good god have you nothing better to be doing with your time! lol I'v about 40

Well i suppose i've only had my comp a short while, and i don't have internet access from home, and i can' t bring em home from college cause i don't have a zip drive... a well.

MarcusGarvey · 23-01-2002 7:53pm

if he bought them over 20 years they would still cost the same ammount.
(~inflation)

Monkey · 24-01-2002 7:54pm

"with an album going for roughly £18 " -yeah but albums don't cost that must so your stats are pointless

Fidelis · 24-01-2002 8:09pm

your stats are pointless

Sheesh, he said roughly.

And many albums do cost £18 here in the wonderous infaltion driven land of Ireland.

albums generly DO cost that much unfortunatley!

Makaveli · 25-01-2002 12:27am

Yeah I did say "roughly" when I posted that, and everytime I go to buy a cd thats basically what they cost unless they are older albums which you might get for 10 - 13. Also on this point it appears to me as though HMV price cds on the number of tracks they have, this isnt fact so dont get all pissed at me, it's just what I've noticed

Monkey · 26-01-2002 7:53pm

Volvagia · 27-01-2002 9:05pm

I have but thankfully not to often! I love my burner!

Makaveli · 27-01-2002 9:13pm

I must be buying my cds in the wrong shops then. Where do you get yours Monkey and roughly how much does a cd set you back?

irishguy · 27-01-2002 9:18pm

well i dont have that many cds but the ones i do have all seem to be the same price .49 € without jewel case

Volvagia · 27-01-2002 9:35pm

well cds put me back 55p with jewl cases but i haven't bought any in euro yet so i dunno the price!

Makaveli · 27-01-2002 10:45pm

I pay 55p with jewel cases too, I think it's €.70

Volvagia · 27-01-2002 10:56pm

let me guess Peats in dublin Precision cd-r's

Makaveli · 28-01-2002 1:30am

A four character reply? You're taking after richindub2 and smak, so you are.

Volvagia · 28-01-2002 8:06pm

i believe that four characters were all that were needed in this case. I approve.

Makaveli · 30-01-2002 2:22am

What do you want Phaxx a whole essay of a reply?

I didnt think I needed one considering all I had to so was yay or nay ya know...
BTW I havnt really been posting here for very long so I dont really know who richindub2 and smak are, so if I am taking after them it's not on purpose

phaxx · 30-01-2002 2:26am

Ah I'm only messing.

Richindub2 and smak are spammers, posting any old crap just to get their post counts up.

Karl Hungus · 30-01-2002 2:48am

Just like me!

Oh, and my mp3 count is at 490 now.

Volvagia · 30-01-2002 10:17pm

490! lol mine went up to 540 today it still sux but its better then yours!

Makaveli · 31-01-2002 12:43am
