Around the holidays, I usually have some time to rip digital music files from my CDs. Music went digital around 2000 and I'm still not done ripping my CDs let alone vinyl. I almost have 20K songs, probably 30K and change if I rip everything. How many do you have? Not sure how accurate the chart below is, but something to go by.

How many do you have available in the cloud? I have about 8K in Google Music. Didn't opt for iTunes Match as I use a subscription service.

I still go to hard copy CDs when I want to listen to something seriously. I can do youtube, but I don't really grok the whole files thing. :surrender:


I'm a lightweight: only 422 songs in my iTunes library. I probably use more memory on podcasts than actual music.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...


Around 22,000 songs -- comes to about 600GB.

iacas has ~13K and uses ~105 GB

I have ~20K and use ~125 GB, many of my songs are encoded at a low bit rate as I ripped most of my CDs way before FLAC or 320kbps was available.

You must be using a really high bit rate or an encoding that uses a lot of space?

320k or FLAC would take up the space without a problem, especially if yours were encoded at 128k or lower. I cannot stand 128k mp3s, I always opt for higher resolution which is why I love buying albums from Bandcamp when I can.

I honestly don't know how big my collection is. It's spread out over two computers plus a removable drive, so I'll have to dig around a bit :-)

I ripped all my CDs to ALAC and also have quite a few 24-bit/192kHz files, mostly needle drops of vinyl albums.

I use MOG, but am leaning towards streaming my own library via Google.

Yeah, I see now. I ripped a CD using ALAC and it's about 3x the size of a 320 mp3 rip.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
