I have 88 G on my PC, but just wanted to know how much ppl collect. Just bored to death really. I guess that if you're reading this, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Personally I think that to have a big music collection you have to have the item itself including the artwork, lyrics and inside book. If you have it on hard drive you dont have these things and you cant hold it in your hand. A record collection is exactly that...vinyl and cd's. If your using Kazzaa then you certainly havent paid for it therefore you aint collected it! I have 2000+ cd's, 500+ vinyl albums, 1000+ vinyl singles, 300 old cassettes, 100+ music dvd's, 300 free magazine cd's. All of this is catologued in alphabetical order. I also have one of the largest U2 collections on the planet...over 300 different cd's and all of the rarest vinyl you can get.
NOW THATS A BIG RECORD COLLECTION!!!!!
p.s. I do appreciate hard drive music and not slagging anyone off, this is just my own personal opinion and as long as the music is good it dont matter, enjoy!

I'm a Wave file fan.
I reckon this would limit the number of files I can store as data. I use five gigs of drive space.
Since I use wave files, an average song would take up 50 megabytes. If I do a non-stop DJ mix, it would take up half a gigabyte!
As for my music collection, it's around 400 CDs and 30 vinyl records. I took 15 years to collect it, so don't call me rich! LOL.
To answer your question...Big is up to the individual. As long as you have enough music in your collection to make you knowledgeable in music in some way, you should be OK.

Having a big music collection does not necessarily make you a music 'fan'. Since the dawn of cheap broadband people seem to think that its ok to rip off thousands of artists by downloading songs illegally. That does not make you a fan, that makes you a rip off artist.
Musicians pay an awful lot in costs and work bloody hard at what they do, it does not matter what genre they play.
To own a 'Big' music collection, your music HAS to be legal. Vinyl, CD's, tapes or even bloomin 8 tracks, as long as you have had to fork out some cash to the artist!

well I've got around 50 cd's, not many really. I'd say upwards of 200 would be big. but I love music soo much I can't live a single day without it, I tried once but almost went mad, and started to beat my head off the walls.

Not sure about all this gigabyte stuff... but I have about 800 vinyl records (and still collecting...quite rare ones aswell... kind of like a retirement fund) and about 550 cd's... Is that big?

You're there dude. Question is, how much of that 88G is any good? There's a lot of great music out there, but there is probably more music that is garbage.
