How many MP3s do you have?

Subject says it all. Personally, I have about 600, taking up about 3GB. I had to get a new HD to store them all, too.

How many do you have?

Around 5000, I need a bigger iPod...

I don't have an answer that really fits into any of those. I have three currently, but as soon as I listen to them once more, they're getting deleted. I normally don't have any, but will occasionally have a handful for a day or two.

I have roughly 650-750. I just bought a Samsung Yepp' YP-700, and have been steadily rippin' CDs since. I have an 8GB hard drive that has about 3.5GB of MP3s on it for now. I will be burning a lot of those to CD-R just for storage. I love my Yepp'. It has 128MB of memory and and SD slot for even more storage. I wanted to get a MP3 jukebox, but couldn't justify the expense with the head bean counter (re: my wife).

Also, another couple of questions to post would be:

Which CD-R/RW burn software do you like/use?

and

Which rip software do you like/use?

I have Nero Burning ROM 5.0 which came with my CD-R/RW drive for burning CDs.

I use the software that came with the Yepp' for ripping songs from CD to MP3.

Later,

Craig

Same boat here. I picked up an Audible Otis and an MMC card, so I have 128MB of storage on it. I have about 85 MP3s on there now. I use Winamp to compress them to about 24kbps and 22Hz, so I can fit a ton.

I use Sony CD Extreme (came with the burner) to both burn and rip. It can't actually rip to MP3; it rips to Wav and I run it through CDex to turn it into MP3, but I rarely ever rip.

I'm in the process now of putting my whole collection of CDs--about 600 of them--onto my new RioRiot jukebox. I'm using MusicMatch jukebox to convert the CDs to Mp3s (actually Mp3pro, same quality, half the space). It works quite well. I have to use RealOne to put them onto the RioRiot--compatability issues. I find RealOne to be a little glitchy sometimes.

Archos Studio 20

I honestly don't know how many MP3s I have; I've ripped a pretty big chunk of my CD collection and I have a fair collection of old time radio MP3s as well. Nothing's more fun on a long train ride than an episode or two of Jack Benny.

Personally, I like my Archos; it's got a 20 gig hard drive, you can import playlists from MusicMatch, and -- best of all -- it uses no proprietary software or encoding to load MP3s. Just copy them up through a USB connection and you're golden.

Burning MP3 to DVD-Rs instead of CD-Rs?

Just curious -- anyone burning their MP3s to DVD-Rs rather than CD-Rs?

I've always burned mine to CD-Rs (I only have a CD-Rom drive at work), but I was wondering if the move to the much larger DVD-R was taking off.

I don't measure in number of songs...I measure in Gigabytes, of which I have about 40Gb devoted to my precious music collection...say has anyone yet found a good alternative to Audiogalaxy (knowing my luck with other posts, the answer will probably come up when I read through the actual posts)

around 13,000, filling 30 gigs. At least half I got from my emusic account; around half (not the same half) haven't been listened to.
