# of songs could be a bit misleading...if you're into prog & post-rock like me, you wind up with an average song length of like 10-12 minutes.

Its hard to say what % of the Mp3s ive heard. I usually just pick a category and make random playlists.

Variety is the spice of life

 

[JiPi]

Hehe. I don't know. When I scan my catalogs it says 39k but it makes up more than 600GB. (I guess
that makes your collection look tiny EyEPoD, eh

).

Thing is, I rip all my mix CD's in mp3+cue and I have some radio shows too.

So I guess I would fit in 100k and plus category

Heh.

I'm ashamed.

Sorry to get off topic, what exactly does the '-asp' statement do?

-APS is alt-preset standard, it's a LAME setting for optimum quality. read about it from the link in my sig

10.000-25.000 here.
I don't know exact numbers because they are spread over 20cdr's, 10dvdr's and rest of them in my hd.

Sometimes I agree with that "mp3's suck" complaint. This is when I download music from the net. I can't understand why is converting mp3's so hard. Too often I find crackling sounds and otherkind of distortion in mp3 files. Well that is not a problem when I convert them myself but it is annoying to download some songs only to find out that the person that encoded them doesn't know what he is doing

I've got about 440Gb of compressed music, but a lot of the files are encoded with FLAC, which takes up a lot more space than MP3.

Even so I'd guess that I've got over 50,000 files.

I rip everything with EAC in secure mode and my MP3s are encoded at APS. I can hardly ever tell the difference between APS quality MP3s and the original uncompressed audio.

I wonder if the people who think all MP3s suck have actually carried out a blind ABX test on quality MP3s. Most of the people using file sharing networks don't have a clue how to make decent sounding MP3s, but that's not really the fault of the MP3 format.

1,000-5,000. All but about 100 of them are entirely unlisteneable ever since I got into this silly audiophile thing.

Cheers,

about 23k here, all high quality ones (ape, mp3 >250 kbps, mpc, etc), mostly classical
but my main source is the cd player

I have three:
 
1.  Ipod 4g Touch
 
2. Cowon D2+
 
3. HM-801
 
 

 

[Poimandres]

I have over 15k songs that I have ripped from cd's directly into FLAC for archiving using dbpoweramp.  If you are not going to keep your cd's the best format to utilize is flac since it is a lossless format.  I then use the dbpoweramp batch converter to convert the flac's into MP3 for my wife's and children's ipod and also into ogg for my cowon.

That is exactly what the problem is. A lot of people simply don't know what they're doing when it comes to encoding mp3's
