How many gigabytes of metal do you have?

[Pessimism]

About 200 gigs, although I only share 30gigs on DC++ (which doesn't f%cking work for me anymore...)

 

[Blacken the angel]

but do you really listen to all these stuff (200 GB wow)

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

yea i dont have insane amounts of gigs like some of you guys. I have a humble 27gb.

 

[messakin]

I wouldn't know. I have two 208 count cd books full, and half of one is metal so i say about 52 cds give or take a few

 

[Blacken the angel]

you mean pirated

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Not to get into the ethical shit but downloaded and pirated are the same thing in my eyes; who the fuck would ever pay for mere mp3s. Buy the CD or download the album; if you pay for mp3 files, you're a tool.

 

[Skepticism]

20 right now, but I am constantly getting new albums.

 

[Astrum]

around 20 gigs on my computer, with about 100 cds not on my computer.

 

[LivingCadaver]

63,8 Gig without my real CD collection and most the stuff I've burn.

so about 1100 albums on my comp...

 

[LivingCadaver]

exactly once you've download something and really like it, if you think you'd listen to it often you should buy it afterward.

Most of the album I download, I'll listen to it 1 time, then it will just sit there and I'll share it back to other users.

A lot of metal is generic so I see no point in spending money uselessly on those records.

The first albums I buy will be from local bands to support them after that I buy internationnal records once in a while.

 

[Priest of Evil]

if it wasn't for downloading i would probably only know 1/10 the bands i listen to know. i've spent like $3500 on cds and now that i think of it, i should have used that money for a car.

like the car that gets people to band practice with their gear or the studio to record their album?

 

[UndyingDarkness]

20GB

Maybe 1 or 2 GB of that is not metal.

 

[Varg Vikernes]

Ive got like 50gb of music on my comp. Most of it isn't metal though.

 

[CAIRATH]

iPod users've got to. I've tried more than 5 other clients but none can handle iPod 'error-free'.

17.5gb at the moment.

I have owned an iPod for almost three years now and never used iTunes.

ml_ipod works just fine if you're a Winamp user. Never had a single problem with it.

 

[CF87]

The person who came up with the word 'gigabyte' should be punched in the face.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

...why?

And I doubt any one person "came up" with it...

 

[Matt]

112 gigs of about 65% bought cd's.Mostly metal. I listen to Jazz and Classical with my stereo.

 

[CAIRATH]

The person who came up with the word 'gigabyte' should be punched in the face.

kilo = 1,000
mega = 1,000,000
giga = 1,000,000,000

How does that not make sense? The only part of that doesn't make perfect sense is that a gigabyte is actually 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes rather than being exactly one billion bytes. But that is due to computer architecture being built around a binary system where address spaces are always limited to a number expressable as a power of 2.

So it actually makes perfect sense. If you think "giga" is a stupid word then you can blame the Greek for that I believe. I only think it's stupid when people pronounce it as "jigga byte" because that reminds me of Jay-Z.

 

[cookiecutter]

I say giga byte with a hard g, but I say gif like jiff. I think I am in the wrong there.

 

[CAIRATH]

Also my sorted music collection (all my 500+ CDs rippped + whatever I have downloaded and tagged and considered to be something I want to keep) is about 84 gigs. I'd guess about 40% of that or so is metal.

I have another 25 gigs or so of unsorted rubbish sitting in my downloads folder that I'm too lazy to sort out until I run out of diskspace.
