How many gigabytes of metal do you have?

[Killbot]

that would be sweeeeet, think how big that number would be.

Hey, this ain't my fault! I tried closing this because it involves very little actual metal disccusion, but Deron reopened it!

 

[cookiecutter]

It's only metal if you have 666GBs!

 

[mutantllama]

4 gb 3 gb are metal mostly pirated

 

[Carcassian]

...maybe we could re-title this thread, "who has paid least for their metal" ?

 

[Pessimism]

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

I do, before I move (from the download folder) any album I have for burning (copies for my truck in case of theft ) I listen to it thoroughly; counting I pirate most of my music before buying, I also re-tag everything....an extreme pain in the ass, but I'm a sucker for correctly displayed information on my gear.

I don't think it's bad to download, as long as you support the artists you get your stuff from ($$$$).

Just wanted to ask, what is the minimum number of gigabytes I need to be a metalhead ?

 

[Pessimism]

I use...

Band\Artist - Album - Track# - Title.mp3

... myself (don't really like to have too many sub-directories) and then tag them properly with release year and everything (no cover art yet, though I would like to do that at some point). And I create a playlist for every album, which I drop into the root of my music drive so any given album is only a few clicks away.

I can't stand disorganized lists, especially when the tracks look like this: Running_wild_black_hand_inn_0-230_black_hand_inn_.qcx3 or some bullshit like this.

It's a huge problem in the Grind and Extreme Metal Hub

 

[metal_wrath]

Mine is organized by genre with separate folders for each artist, with albums underneath that with the year the album was released in parentheses.

oh shit, that's exactly what I do

My post was directed at CAIRATH. Our posts came out at nearly the same time.

Perfect. Porno-grind death metal like Cock and Ball Torture.

 

[biggsy]

3GB of metal. 22GB of other music. And lots of porn

 

[Hubster]

I friend of mine has around 160gig of metal. And some is downloaded yes, but he owns a LOT of music.

Side note (kinda):

I know its an old argument, but I really do feel that downloading helps the metal scene a LOT. If I hadnt found downloads, I wouldnt own 75% of the music I have killed myself to hunt down and buy.

It's enabled me to find fantastic bands like never before, and the real beauty about it is that I can bypass the stores and order in ways which helps the bands and labels financially in a more positive way.

The only bands in general who complain about downloads are the ones who earn millions. Its not often that the lesser earners complain - they need the medium to help their material spread.

So I support downloading, but only if the EP's albums are deleted from print, or, if you plan to really support the bands and their labels by buying the music, the merch and going to the shows.

Peace.
