At 176K per second of uncompressed (CD-quality, anyhow) music, 1.4TB comes to just over 100 days. Several times that figure, with compression. That's a lot of music. More unique audio data than total amount that I've listened to on repeat for...probably about the last 5 years added together.
- 0x6c6f6c 10y agoIt really depends on how much variety you have. I had more than that in 2005, discographies and high bitrate files but it amounted to roughly 1.5 TB. If that HDD hadn't died around the time Spotify and similar streaming services came out I'd like have a larger library today
- khedoros1 10y agoWell, right, the amount of data depends on variety. In my opinion, having enough audio to listen to something different all day, every day, for an amount of time measured in years, is a large collection. That's not saying that there aren't larger ones, that the collector would consider themselves unusual, that any value judgement should be implied, etc. Just that more than a couple months worth of unique audio data seems like "a lot" to me.
