I listen to alot of metal and most of my songs are well over 5 minutes, with many breaking 10 minutes and some 20 minutes. Then again, for certain sub-genres, songs are often under 2 minutes with the focus being on intensity for a very short amount of time. Other genres than metal have songs that can tend to be alot shorter or longer. ~Cody btw, I bought most of my songs. Some are gifts and/or from other peoples collections. No p2p-ing or anything though. ---

[QUOTE=McGuffin;2283876]14.33 GB I probably need to clean some older stuff out. What I tend to do is get new stuff and listen to it heavily and then drop it in favour of newer stuff later on.[/QUOTE] That was Feb 10. Now it’s 11.40 GB / 1991 songs / 5.6 days. ---

[quote=TheCanadian;2354954]His avg song file size: 7.6 MB My avg song file size: 3.7 MB It’s twice mine for some reason :wt:[/quote] My avg song file size: 4.7 MB (611 songs, 2.8 GB) Probaly just a higher quality. I know alot of people that won’t listen to anything less than FLAC (lossless). I’m personally fine with 128 kbps mp3 (along with a sprinkling of VBR from eMusic), my headphones aren’t good enough to show a very big difference anyway. ~Cody PS, I love being on a techy, nerd forum. Where else would we take the time to analyze our relative song length and file size 😛 ---

oIs that a joke? Or do you just have only non-digital music? I can’t even conceive going for more than a few days without music. 😛 Outside of my house my mp3 player never leaves my pocket (save for when I am actually using it). ~Cody
