  • Pepper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+82Thats one hell of alot of money spent (or not ;-)) on music o.0
    • michaelyurechko, on 10/12/2007, -10/+320God invented BitTorrent for a reason.
    • swansong24, on 10/12/2007, -10/+23he should sell it half off
    • Evoguy, on 10/12/2007, -37/+15Wait until Apple fairplay isn't a standard DRM format anymore, and he'll have a $200,000 worth of unplayable DRM'd junk.

      And his example of metadata editing taking 4 min as opposed to being instant with a 800GB vs 100GB library... what the hell kind of terrible O(n^2) algorithm is that.. completely unscalable.
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -28/+6I can think of a few better ways to spend that much money. Such as paying to defend small-time downloaders.
    • zdiddy85, on 10/12/2007, -8/+210wait...there are 200,000 songs worth buying/downloading?
    • admirabumblebee, on 10/12/2007, -20/+232This is not accurate. My iTunes library has over 350,000 songs. Im not ***** you. About 2/3 of it it is legit, and a big portion of that is from free sampler cd's i used to (and still do) collect. I have spent my entire life going through music magnet schools and programs, I have amassed a massive collection of music of all kinds vinyl, cd, 8-track, cassette, mp3, ogg, whatever.

      I guess it doesn't matter, following is probably a list of people crying "*****"... but I assure you this is the truth.
    • adidos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+73@Admirabumblebee
      Do you really have like 1.5TB of music? That's like 3 years worth of music (24/7 with no repeats)...
    • Th0Rr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+126@Admirabumblebee
      lets see a screen shot of your stats
    • Satanael, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Several music stores upload every new CD they get into their iTunes library and use it for background music in the store as well as allowing customers to request a song to hear to determine if they like that band or not. This must be inaccurate.
    • bobbknight, on 10/12/2007, -35/+7I should give a ***** about a guy that has a whole ***** load of music that he does not listen too?

      Hell no!

      Have him buy that on vinyl, like me and we will chat.

      Lame
    • skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -10/+127Only 200,000 tracks?

      BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA..... NOOB!!!!!!!
    • orbanj, on 10/12/2007, -6/+124his e-penis must be huge
    • kcpwnsgman, on 10/12/2007, -11/+33dang, and I thought I had a lot with ~5000 songs :P
    • justinlarsen, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2Oinks PP FTW!
    • acex23, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5so, if I'm doing my math right and all those songs are about 3 1/2 minutes... that's 1 1/3 years of music. Years.

      if he was in his office 40 hours every week, 7 days a week, it would take him like 5.6 years to listen to all his music. and that's listening to every song only one time each.

      wow.

      feel free to correct me if i messed up, thats a lot of math for a digg comment...
    • Cwo655321, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40what about Steve Jobs? I believe his collection is much larger.
    • joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -21/+8It's Jazz..... that an incredibly boring way to spend 809 days...
      My.... 8391 songs 23.9 days 48.31GB.... is much better. I have good stuff.
      Don't be saying "that's his taste". You are wrong! There is no person that has ever lived who would like to sit for 2.2 years of 24/7 Jazz.

      Loads of people are waiting on you bumblebee boy...... pictures or you don't exist.
    • OneManArmy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19"As a result, when I am working with the full 800 GB library, it is painfully slow, getting around the library, doing searches, and editing info on individual tracks or whole albums just takes forever!"

      With an _XML_ file of 259 MB, that explains a lot. A proper database is needed when things become that large.
    • Markpdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -13/+156Here is a screen shot of my huge collection. As you see, when Itunes gets past a few TB of files, the info changes a little...

    • graemee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@michaelyurechk

      Act of god, wonder if the RIAA, sorry the courts would buy that?
    • EvilGnome, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8iTunes definitely is not the best program for all that music. my iTunes can barely handle ~20000 songs. Best solution I've found so far is MediaMonkey. Anyone have other suggestions?
    • majorbabu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Assuming he's had 4.25 years since he started building his collection (2003 - 2007 until now)
      We know hes got 19420.8 hours of music.
      Assuming he gets 8 hours of sleep each day, that gives him roughly 24820 hours of waking time to listen to his collection.
      That's roughly 12.5 hours of listening to music... daily... with no repeats, for 4.25 years.
      Wow.
    • wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7@ joeydoo -

      I happen to like Jazz. Check out Diana Krall.
    • AwesomeMonster, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2As king of the internet's i have all music the world can offer, it streams directly into my fingernails which has 1543643646 tbs of flash memory for quick access. This man is pathetic noob.

    • mwosh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I want to see what his smart playlists look like.
    • diggerhater, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sorry for the comment abuse, but I really like his idea for Itunes Pro. I would gladly pay for some more features.
    • superal1394, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2haha, I thought it was a big deal when iTunes put up a 'loading library' dialog cause I have over 8000 songs
    • ubunturd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10PLEASE SEED.
  • Glenn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+112As far as I know, Will's collection is 100% legit. His job revolves around collecting, listening to, and reviewing music for various newspapers and magazines in the New York area.
    • tehtopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+67That explains a lot.
    • DatDudeWiggs, on 10/12/2007, -19/+7He could've saved a hell of a lot of money by using Limewire
    • Cwo655321, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28gotta imagine he writes all of it off as a business expense.
    • ElMoselYEE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8his employer most likely compensates him, so it's not like it matters to him.
    • johnpaul191, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10people that review music generally get new releases for free... as do magazine, radio stations etc.
      if they are that into music, i am sure they also buy a lot of older stuff too, but almost anything new they would not be paying for.
      if i ripped every CD that came through the radio station i work at, i would have a crazy collection (of CRAP!). we get over 300 CDs a week and pay for none of them. there really is that much music being published today, and that doesn't account digital only releases (demos and whatnot).
  • MrWhipplemen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+82his stat says 809 days of music
    If he started right now it wouldn't end until July 5 2009
    • artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -14/+50OMG HOW IS GONNA LISTEN TO ALL HIS MUSIC!!!?? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!
    • chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13This makes my music collection look like a joke. 2020 tracks....7 days play time.
    • InMSWeAntitrust, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3ITS OVER FIVE THOUSAND!
    • Hayaemsay, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10"OMG HOW IS GONNA LISTEN TO ALL HIS MUSIC!!!?? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!!"

      In Fast-Forward.
    • camg188, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Obsessed!
  • mrfx2, on 10/12/2007, -52/+4i have more than that
    i have 1.2 tera and growing.
  • flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+79my itunes just had its self esteem lowered......
    • johnpaul191, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11nah, i would rather have 40 gigs of good music than every MP3 i ever came across.
      now if i had time to rip my records i would probably increase my iTunes library three or four times.
    • cgomez, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I have 15GB ~ 3,000 songs, except I actually ike all the music that I have...so, yay?
  • kamel, on 10/12/2007, -21/+1Yes, but how long does it take to burn to a CD and rip it?
    • ravi7791, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4Doesnt matter. All that matters is how fast his ISP is
    • NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6A long time when you have that many songs... And if his professional career is reviewing music, I doubt he's downloading 128 kbps ACC.
    • hzrds, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1Say you can fit 20 songs onto a CD, that's 10,000 cd's that you have to burn AND rip just to get the DRM off. Have you ever burned and/or ripped a cd? You're not talking about an easy process there. Not to mention the extra cost into all those cd's and probably a few burners.
  • fbmdeth, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2I thought my 20,000 songs were impressive.
  • Paal, on 10/12/2007, -5/+53In other words...

    THE MAN LEAST CONCERNED ABOUT FIDELITY ON THE PLANET
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm pretty sure someone like him would be at least a bit into fidelity, reviewing jazz and all. He did seem to indicate he used music stores though, not good...
  • Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+104Maybe largest LEGAL iTunes collection...
    • skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40I could rattle off 4-5 ftp servers that put him to shame.
    • idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -3/+84...well? We're waiting.

      *warms up FTP client*
  • TheIguana, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31Great, makes my 5000 song collection seem inadequate. I guess this is the time for a size doesn't matter joke.
  • largeboot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12someone else has 200,000 tracks and i can't even download live soundboard dead shows for free anymore.
    • ApplCmptrDood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You like the Dead? My dad was the one who started the GD section on the archive. He has 7 TB (uncompressed) of almost every live show. He has every CD too.
    • Sparkster185, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1There's always audience recordings. I actually prefer them to the SB ones.
  • the_penguin_boy, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5How long 'til the first "200,001 songs! pwnt!" comment?
  • jerryparid, on 10/12/2007, -43/+327.13 GB of Music

    • gungaroo22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44Don't parade around your mediocre ePenis. No one cares about the size of your music library.
      Most people lie about their size, anyways.
    • neutrascrub, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3big ***** deal bitch
    • DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Twenty-seven gigs of music isn't that much at all, unless it's all old time radio shows, below 128.
    • Ignathius, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2my 4g 40gig iPod is stuffed to the brim with music, and only music. and it's not even 1/5th of my collection. it's just what i take when i travel. 27gigs? pa-leeze.
  • quomen, on 10/12/2007, -22/+3www.duggmirror.com
  • 89vision, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44I wonder how many out of the 200,000 this guy has actually listened to.
    • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Considering that he's a jazz music reviewer for the NY Sun, probably all of it. If you'd read the story, he says that he imports CDs and box sets as he needs to listen to them, to either review them or research them for a story.

      He talks about importing 50-CD box sets...
    • chrisbarr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I doubt he's actually listened to it all since that would be over 800 days of continuous listening.
    • idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12It doesn't say he obtained it all in a year.

      He's most likely built it up over a decade or so, maybe two. Five years at the least.
      He probably just listened to each song once.
    • alej744, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1A decade?
      R[ead]T[he]F[ucking]A[rticle], he started his library when iTunes was released for OS X.
    • Refrag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1He said he started using Itunes when he switched to Mac OS X in 2003.
  • DanMcScience, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Hmmm. My 21 000 songs sounds to pitiful all of the sudden. You took away my second last point of pride! Now all I have left is my homemade tron suit...
    • Scaryclouds, on 10/12/2007, -21/+0And you lost you last point with the phrase "homemade tron suit..."

      Good game sir, I will send you $50 bucks to by you a hooker!
  • gungaroo22, on 10/12/2007, -9/+19More music does not always equate to better music.
    • Girardin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31No one said it did.
    • jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14probably guarantees that there's something of interest in there. Somewhere.
  • Taurus084, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I'd like to connect to his Maestro.
    http://www.deusty.com
  • Xorp, on 10/12/2007, -14/+31Using the THE worst app for large collections... good job.

    Foobar2000 to the rescue!
    • skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -12/+9*thumbs down*

      Amarok ftw.
    • idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -10/+9amarok owns foobar in the face.
      Also, foobar isn't open source.
    • jofer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28Last I checked, Amarok doesn't run on windows, and foobar2000 doesn't run on anything but windows.... So why are we arguing?

      That having been said, foobar rocks! ;)
    • chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Amorak with a mysql database is the best.
    • zmur, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2"iTunes is, without a doubt, the best and most intuitive program out there for transferring, archiving, and listening to music"

      lol, maybe for a mac...

      Foobar owns all other music players.
    • ArnoldTPants, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Yep. This guy has the largest iTunes collection because he is the only one stupid enough to use iTunes for a collection that big. I know a couple people with 1.5+ TB of music, but they are smart enough not to touch iTunes. Even I know that with 300 GB. I wouldn't even use iTunes with a 10 mb collection. Foobar all the way.
    • vafada, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2is it just me or is Amarok a resource hog? my PC's CPU usage goes up when amarok is running and Amarok's UI is sluggish. I ended up using RhythmBox
    • lxpk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I tried your recommendations but Foobar's default interface is inadequate compared to iTunes when it comes to actually organizing and listening to music. I did find instructions for Foobar to give it a useful interface a la iTunes: http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/foobar2000_itunes.htm and there are some very imaginative themes out there but I for one like the iTunes interface out of the box and there is more to it than just the "skin" and window layout.

      Amarok looks like it has a respectable UI though and I like the last.fm integration.

      My 20,000 song iTunes library hasn't yet run into the kinds of performance problems that a 200,000 song library does, but I just tested putting the iTunes music library on a RAM disk and it was dramatically faster and might solve the problems he is having. RAM disks can be set to save their contents to disk periodically and before unmounting.

      It would be great if Apple implemented a very high-performance database engine for such large libraries and I hope that this article will lead to more support for Apple doing so.
    • alej744, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well if it isn't the open source Linux fags
    • Refrag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder if Itunes' performance would increase for large collections if Apple used their Core Data API for the Macintosh version.

      http://developer.apple.com/macosx/coredata.html

      PS - This guy really needs to get an Apple TV to have a better listening experience in a listening room.
  • jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Looks like its time for this guy to step up to a library system designed to handle this amount of data.
  • citrivium, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2What about the guy who is attempting to be a cultural archive and has over 900,000 tracks?

    http://slashdot.org/articles/04/11/15/1734225.shtml?tid=141&tid=1

    Although it appears to be down :(
  • zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12200K songs, but he only listens to his Motley Crue albums.
  • kodachrome22, on 10/12/2007, -1/+62Lowest. Bitrate. Ever. (especially for someone who listens to music for a living)

    849 GB * 1024 MB/GB * 1024 KB/MB * 8 Kb/KB = 7121928192 KB
    809 days * 24 hours/day * 60 min/hour * 60 sec/min = 69897600 sec

    Average bitrate = 101.89 kbps
    • johnstar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5how many 30 second filler tracks are in there?
    • chozsun, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I stopped paying attention to storage space for music because every since 1998 I have been ripping music higher than recommended:

      Pop/Rock/Whatever = 192kbps
      Jazz = 256kbps
      Classic/Opera = 384kbps

      (Hence, why I have never bought something from iTunes with its paltry 128kbps. The new 256kbps intrigues me but buying a CD is still much cheaper.)

      That average of ~101kbps made me cringe. I am not arguing with your math but that can't be right.
    • Plewt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this is a little easier

  • JoshuaH, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Am I the only one who noticed spelling mistakes in this article?

    rigirous - rigorous
    schudule - schedule

    I'm not saying I'm the best speller in the world...Just thought I would point it out.
  • thruandthru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6some people collect stamps, he collects songs. a lot of them apparently. good for him. that's way more music than I think I could ever keep track of.
    • ooooo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Aye, I collect music also, i could only dream for that much... only 9.5k atm

      Today I went to the store and was only guna buy one... I bought 5 CD's... I always buy way more than I come for. Maybe tomorrow I'll only get one...
  • tkcom, on 10/12/2007, -18/+3...and that made him world's #1 patron of DRM.

    It's not unusual to lose hope in humanity for such situation.
    • ClunkClunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11If you actually RTFM, it appears that the overwhelming majority of his library is ripped from CD.
  • dweeb79, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Screw paying for all that shizzle
    • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Music reviewers get it for free.
  • mick6885, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9while this is possibly the largest collection of 'tracks' in iTunes.
    im positive that there are foley artists out there with 100 000's of thousands of soundbytes orgainized in iTunes.
    i mean, theres probably 100 different sounds for a fist punch alone.
    ..not to mention bitch slaps !!!
  • rlinse, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0He should just get free stuff here and save some money for retirement.

  • matthewplante, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4all I have is the essential tracks, "stairway to heaven" and "Eleanor Rigby"... someone give me a ***** metal.
  • FireFish, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4"Man with largest iTunes collection in the world" DOES sound better then "Rich bastard spends 200,000$ foolishly"

    • ooooo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Tell you the truth, If i had that money I'd do that... and more :D
  • Syncy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1WOW. about 2 years of sorting, collecting... I thought my (close to) 20k was big :(

    Oh well... props. Although... I have LISTENED to all mine :) (or will, I have some in an unplayed list right now)
  • Elamen, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Since when has 172,150 tracks been over 200,000?
    • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3That's the main library. He has other librarys...
    • bedrock, on 10/12/2007, -4/+43Pfft... that's nothing. I have over 200,000 remixes of "SexyBack".
  • brusty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I've got around 28,000, and I was a DJ & record reviewer for 3 years.
    Maybe someday...
    • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He talks about having to review and write stories about 50-CD box sets. Thay would help get the numbers up there in a hurry.
  • spankee666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What better music collection managers do everyone else use? I honestly *only* use iTunes to organize my collection since it's so convenient. I also run Ubuntu, and I've tried a few of the managers provided there, but none are as elegant as iTunes.

    Any suggestions?
    • numbnu7s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Media Monkey, but it's Windohs only

      Running iTunes on ubuntu? wtf man? Just get amarok, best media player ever.
    • spankee666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I dual boot one of my laptops. I do like Amarok, but it's still kinda klunky to organize my music.
  • numbnu7s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dude... wanna trade some vintage ABBA for some Ace of Base?
  • reducing, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1What a loser.
  • fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Forget bittorrent. The fastest way to get music is to saturate your pipe by streamripping parallel stations.
    • Ignathius, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3basically, get a streamripper, and connect to all the internet radio stations your pipe can handle. rip 20-200 songs at the same time :P

      i used to do this back in the day with winamp and a streamripper. i'd rip 50+ streams at a time. but when most of the better stations only broadcast at a max of 96kbps, i decided it just wasen't worth it, and junked my streamripped collection. it's been newzbin for me ever since :)
    • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I thought fulldecent was making a Ted Stevens joke.
  • threepop, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2200,000? CHICKEN FEED. I passed that a while back. So have a bunch of people I know. There are music supervisors out there with 2,000,000+ songs in their libraries.
    • Elamen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Pics or it didn't happen.
    • Elamen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Going off of Will Friedwald stats:

      172,150 (tracks), 849 GB

      172,150/849= 202 (roughly 20.2MB per song)


      threepop: 200,000? CHICKEN FEED. I passed that a while back. So have a bunch of people I know. There are music supervisors out there with 2,000,000+ songs in their libraries.

      Going off of threepops so called "music supervisors"

      2,000,000*20.2 = 40,400,000

      40,400,000MB = 39453.125GB = 38.52TB

      i doubt anyone has 2,000,000 tracks
    • ElMoselYEE, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2not everyone has their music at 320kbps. 192kbps is about 1mb/min, so i'd say 4-5mb/song not 20mb. i know someone with 950k songs in a 1TB HDD.

      PLUS:

      iTunes is slow with just 10k songs, why the hell would you use it with 200k? clearly there are better media library managers if you have that much music.
    • KoZo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1well maybe the bitrate is 32kbps
    • EztliNahua, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Nice math, Elamen.
      Each song averages at 5.05 megabytes, not 20.2.
      849GB / 172,150 = http://www.google.com/search?q=849GB+%2F+172%2C150&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
  • calthamon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2oh my god.... he just imports music... as he said he cannot even listen to it because it takes too long to get to the right song...
    this guy needs treatment, he imports music all day long, without even planning on listening to it
    by the way, how big must his cd archive be?
  • Comatose51, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8And I thought this was going to be yet another Steve Jobs interview. I mean how could HE not have the biggest iTunes collection?
  • EochaidRiata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I seriously doubt that is anywhere near the largest collection. There are over 25,000 tracks posted to a.b.mp3 every day, and plenty of OCD collectors out there. I even recall people already over 2TB at macrumors way back in 2005.



    • gharding, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, I've seen people have 200,000 songs back when hard drives were EXPENSIVE. Now, you could cram 200,000 songs on one drive.
  • davel27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I only wish that i had half that time to sit and listen to that much music. The only music i listen to is on the way to work and back... lucky basterd..:)
  • thelastdyingday, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7i thought having 87,685 mp3's was too much.

    i stand corrected.
    and he should use media monkey.
    • lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1I'm very fussy about my music. I only have 2167 tracks. And a lifetime MediaMonkey subscription (software actually worth paying for to support the developers). It's only 6.9 days worth of music. And many CDs where I only bought them for 3-4 tracks, and didn't like the rest. Of course I have a nice list of streaming radio stations to listen to while I work, so that helps. And I just placed a $200 order for CDs on Amazon.com, a couple of nice boxed sets. That might add another 20 CDs to the collection.
      I can't even fathom how to get to 200,000 songs, I'm going to struggle to find 5,000 songs I even like listening to.
    • lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wow, I got dugg down for not having enough music!
  • nycmac247, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Ummmm... as a former Apple employee I can tell you: unless you're talking Xsan (TBs) then you ain't got nothin'...
  • Boofster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Let's see, Porsche, music, Porsche, music....hmmm
    • neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Well, you do have to pay for insurance, maintenance, and other stuff like that for the Porsche so probably the music.
    • coldfusion1970, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@ Boofster

      Just to "fix" it for you.

      Let's see, Audi TT, music, Audi TT, music....hmmm
  • lemorex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I would not look forward to the loading time of iTunes.
  • lopla, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I have all 3.7 million tracks ever created. I will be selling copies of my collection on the new IBM 1cmx1cm holographic storage cube for $15.00US pm me. I have 3,000 copies available.
    • Agret, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I shall PM you in 20 years when holographic storage cubes are avaliable...oh make that 23 years, when digg adds a pm system.
  • Novion76, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1why hello thar RIAA
  • Coy0te, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4Wow that's a lot of low quality DRMd music right there.
    • astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16You think he bought 200,000 tracks off of iTunes.

      That's hilarious.
