Better watch out for the ALAC Police!

Even the "illegal" stuff is paid for, just not sure about the source (allflac.com). I don't believe they are legit so I stopped. But I do have some mp3s from the old Napster days, wish I would have had a better connection back then (dial-up!). I didn't count those because they aren't part of my current library but that would add quite a bit more songs.
 
Plus I have a couple of friends that I share cloned HDD libraries with (off-site backups for demonstration purposes only!), if I counted that as well I could probably double my current total. But I'm not very into their music or the low-quality Napster mp3s so they're not in my library. Really they're just stray 1's and 0's, if I permanently deleted them I'd never even miss them.

Napster and dial-up, oh man that's classic

I just broke 6000 songs now!

From my iTunes:

 
I think it can [and will] get bigger eventually.  I also listen to music using Last.fm, Spotify Premium, and YouTube [sue me, lol].

 

[milosz]

60,140 tracks, all FLAC lossless on my server.  I use an Adaptec hardware RAID card with three 1.5 TB  drives in RAID 5 to provide redundancy.  I also maintain 2 copies on backup USB 3.0 hard drives, one of which is kept off-site.

[ChipnDalebowl]

Approx 15,000 songs @ 166gb Easily 80% of these are FLACS from CDs, the other 20% are MP3 files from emusic, amazon, or other sources.

I now have 415 GB of flac rips. That's a crazy number to me. My biggest problem is deciding what to listen to and justifying new purchases to myself.

Hey thanks!  I'll give it a whirl.
And I used to use it way back but haven't used it since then.  I had stopped listening to a lot of radio up until recently.  Plus, I've also grown an interest in podcasts, so I've been listening to a few of those from iTunes.

Justifying buying new music is stupid easy for me. 
 
'I spent this much on my gear I can spend $5 or $10 on a CD.'
 
Works every time. LPs are a little harder because I don't actually have my damn turntable right now, but that'll change soon.

I've been ordering a lot from half.com. Most of the cd's are about .75c plus $3.00 for shipping. They are used of course but I haven't had one single problem with playback.
