I have this thing where if I don't listen to stuff, I delete it.

me 2... I only care for SOUNDBOARD or very GOOD audience bootlegs... one simple rule; If I can't hear if its Prince, I hit delete


All my stuff is in FlAC, well most of it... so, no wonder it will get close to those numbers of 100gb!

Right now in iTunes, I have 1,816 items by either Prince, , The NPG, or The Revolution.

Keep in mind that's including live versions, remixes, extended versions of the same tracks. For example I've got 8 versions of Adore in my iTunes. So a lot of these number are 'technically' duplicates of the original.

FLAC = 1 GB per album

Alej said:

nonsense , the Symbol album which lasts for 74.56 minutes is 520 MB in FLAC format and that's his lenghtiest


mp3 is inferior

I don't like FLAC

Why is everyone so fixated on a pristine sounding "bootleg"? The fact that it's a bootleg there shouldn't be too much of an expectation of superior sound quality. I love all of my boots with whatever noise is on them. makes me feel like i was there and if I was it brings back memories.

HOW can U don't like FLAC? If it's the problem to get them onto your mp3 player or Ipod, download Switch Sound File Converter, which will switch them to mp3 in a matter of seconds!

I'm very creepy about hard drive space. That's why I don't like them

That may be the case, i convert FLAC to 320kb MP3, my ears can't tell the difference so i don't give a shit, save some hard drive space.

I recall one guy on TRH who had well over a TB of Prince. These days its probably t 10 TB with this FLAC madness.

I've got 537, according to iTunes: all of the official albums (excepting the title song & non-P tracks from Graffiti Bridge) & a few little extras I've picked up here & there over the years. According to the Play Count I've put Black Sweat on more than anything else, though that of course only shows what I play over the crappy speakers at my desk (on a relatively new computer) & doesn't reflect my iPod activity or decades-long Prince involvement.

I'd be curious to know how much Prince the rest of you have.
