hey im going to put like 4000 song on itunes will it make my computer slower?

Question

?

Answer 1

Depends on 3 things --
How much free space do you have on your hard drive? (The computer is constantly swapping files back and forth and needs 'room to maneuver') Insufficient free space will slow you down.

How big the music files are -- MP3 files are compressed and take up less space than .wav files, but they still consume space relative to the length of the song and the algorithm used for compression -- there are many different ones with different ratios. For comparison's sake, a raw .wav file consumes approximately 11MB/minute of stereo 16 bit, 44.1MHz audio *CD quality), so the average 3 minute song requires 33MB and 4,000 songs of 'average' length would require 130,000MB or 130GB of storage space. MP3 should give you at least a 50% compression ratio, so figure on needing about 65MB

How much RAM do you have and are you using on-board audio or do you have a separate audio card with its own processor and memory? If the former, the motherboard audio chip will use system memory to run the audio files, slowing down other operations. If the latter, system memory is freed up for other things.

Will you be running iTunes in the background all the time? The more you try to do at once, the slower your computer will be. Even hyperthreading/hypertransport dual core processors can only do two things at once in most instances.

Answer 2

Why not put the 4000 songs on CDs and save the HD space, and yes, it will make your PC run slower.

Answer 3

Downloading,shifting, and deleting fairly some archives on your pc might reason the confusing rigidity to fragment, which will gradual your overall performance. yet to make sure that it to decelerate your pc, it would ought to be so finished that it does not even have sufficient space for its "swap" report, which isn't that great. the terrific ingredient you're able to do related to confusing rigidity and velocity is to maintain it defragmented.
