Let's do a poll and see how many songs the average dj has.

So that I can properly answer your question, are the following all included, MP3s, Cds, Vinyl Albums, 45rpms and cassettes?
 
As a guess I would say 75000+ if I included everything. I carry abut 10% of that for events
 
lol well only way to fully know - how about you come over here and count it all

I have got cassettes that havent been used in years
I have vinyl that havent been used in years
my CDs are building and over taking the abount of vinyl

so take a quick look at this room and see if you can guess how much is in here

sorry thats all for that room
 
I will take a guess that if I tally everything I have in all the formats it will be close to 100,000. However some songs may be repeats so taking off about 20% of that, the figure with which I am left is about 80,000.
On my hard drive that I take to gigs there are just under 40,000 songs.
When you take into account that I have over 8,000 Vinyl albums multiplied by about 10 songs each, that alone is 80,000. CDs, 45s, cassettes etc have their own figures. I am fixing to add about 120 current releases today alone.
 
I have too many.

Too many to listen to.
Too many to remember.
Too many to play.

And I have more showing up every week.
 
I have 15,000 on my Zune, but I only carry 11,000 to gigs.

For example, I have all the Beatles Remastered CD's on the Zune, but aside from a few, they aren't in the mobile collection.

BTW, have you listened to those new Beatles CD's? They sound so so nice with good headphones!
 
35000 unrepeated tracks, 42000 with different versions (Remixes, acoustic, live, etc). These have been ripped from CD's, LP's, singles and some cassettes. If I count repeated tracks then I'd have a lot more :D:D:D:D:D:D

Reading the other threads in the karaoke lounge, I would be pissed if they "legalized" a pirated hardrive at a cost of pennies on the dollar when one has spent a whole bunch of money for the original stuff. If I added up all the receipts for all of my stuff that I've purchased it's a hell of a lot more than $6500.00 that's been demanded by the music companies. Once again this does not level the playing field it let's pirates get away and become "legal# businesses without the investment the real legal businesses had to make.

I have weeded out most of my doubles. I think I have just a hair over 28,000..but there are still around 500-600 doubles that I do not want to delete.
 
serato...

400,000+ and counting brought to every gig. Do i know what is in there?... no, but if someone asks for something chances are I will have it. My wedding crate has 400 songs in it though, and that is usually what people ask for at most weddings.

WOW! Heck, even at 50 cents per song, you spent $200,000 on yer library...?

Didn't you mention on another thread that you were just starting out in this business? How do you have so much music? That's over 26,000 CDs! Wow!! :sqbiggrin:

Seriously, how did you accumulate so much music? How much did you spend? Did you find a good deal somewhere? I would love to have a music collection that spans even half of yours. :notworthy:
