How many gigs do you have?

[merrylander]

I'm with grumpy too, having worked on the MPEG2 standard (where the MP3 compression algorithm comes from) I wouldn't touch it with a stick.

 

[Strangeband]

I've got one in the tackle box.

 

[JimJ[VT]]

FLAC pwns.

I deleted every last MP3 I had, no going back for me.

Lossless all the way, baby.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

I've had one my entire life, but hopefully I can get my act (and studio) together, we (my current bandmates and I) can get some more.

 

[Johncan]

I just went over 1 TB of FLAC files!

 

[CUlater]

Could you all speak a little louder into the RIAA microphones in the ceiling? Oh, and your addresses would be nice too.

 

[JimJ[VT]]

but how much is dedicated to the most recordings of any particular band??

I've been eyeing a 3GB Hendrix "In the Studio" box set when I get back to Tech in August and my dl/upload ratio gets better...

I think that's the biggest so far...there's a bunch of stuff in the gig-to-gig and a half range.

What if they're of perfectly legal MP3's?

 

[6thumbs]

None I,m collecting un-employment

 

[bjarmson]

Gee, since the band broke up, I haven't had any gigs.

 

[CUlater]

What if they're of perfectly legal MP3's?

Ha! Like that's been a deterrent from them threatening court action and then getting a settlement that's just a few dollars short of what a decent defense would cost? :scratch2:

Every single one of mine came off my own CD's. Won't be doing any downloads until I can get uncompressed. And when I do, I'll be paying.:yes:

 

[alexkerhead]

Music from itunes, napster(legal napster), and music I got off from CDs totals to about 10GB, or 3,000 songs, all legal.

External for $109? Got a link?

Heck of a deal there...

it's the weekly special I have the same make in a 250Gb external that I bought about 2 years ago. Aside from the light burning out it has worked fine. Don't want to say what that cost me but it was higher priced.

WOW.. that is a hell of a deal.. what brand drive? I've been buying the Western Digital My Book's... So far they have been really great, and I've almost never had a problem with WD drives.. however, I've had lots of problems with a couple of the other big name brands out there..
