So, the listing says it includes over 6 million tracks. I'm conservatively estimating the average length of a track to be 3 minutes. So, listening to the whole collection non-stop would probably take you more than:
(6000000 * 3) / (60 * 24 * 365) ≅ 34 years
That's... wow.

- pmjordan 19y agoPossibly. Of course, can you really judge something to be rubbish after listening to part of it once? In any case, I'd imagine that to be somewhat tedious on vinyl records. None of this precise track skipping business we have nowadays! Another thing I find interesting is the rate at which records must have been bought for this collection, which is close to an average of 'realtime' music buying. (you buy a day of music each day) I know my estimate is 34 years of music, but there are more than 6m tracks, and average track length is probably more than 3 minutes in most genres. According to the ebay listing, the collection was started 50 years ago.
