There's a lot of repeats due to live recordings/bootlegs though...

My playlists are in a folder called "Shades of Prince":

• "6" (Vanity & Appolonia)
• "The War" (because it's too damn long to be in regular rotation)
• 94 East
• Bria
• Carmen Electra
• Eric Leeds
• Indigo Nights
• Instrumental Prince
• Interviews
• Jill Jones
• London 9/13/07
• Madhouse
• N.P.G.
• ONA NYC 2002
• Prince
• Prince and... (duets)
• Remixes (I needed to separate them)
• Prince Tribute albums (4)
• Rhonda Smith
• Sheila E
• Slo-Prince
• Tamar
• The Family
• The Time

I have a bunch of "other stuff" I didn't load for various reasons.

The counting stops at 3778, 25.54GB

But still need to convert a few hundred tracks from Flac to mp3

May i ask why you would you want to degrade the quality of your music?

Is disk space an issue? Are you converting to mp3 to play stuff on an ipod? Because these are the only reasons that i can possibly imagine that someone would want to swap a lossless format for mp3.

I hope you are aware that there are other (free) media players that support Flac format?

No need to degrade your music.

Just curious?

All of them! Even associated artists, live stuff and err umm...___ songs

305 on my iPhone, which is everything he's released (or hasn't) that I like.

I don't put many live tracks on my phone. I hate listening to the middle of a show at random. I like listening to the whole show.

I've probably got a couple thousand live songs, but there's a whole lot of repetition in there.

How do you have that many songs!?

I'm just a true Purple Funker baby. Gotta have the concerts, remasters, latest label releases, demos, official albums, and associates

My Prince music collection aspires to be your Prince music collection. Over 20,000... wow. Hopefully someday.

Lossless really is the way to go

IWHAT?

5175 files, 464 folders, 36.9 GB on the external HD. Some of that is multiple shows from the same tour where the exact set (or close to it) was performed, and some of it is, like, the original City Lights and the Remastered City Lights. I've got about 1/3 that much backed up on DVDs and not on the external, though.

And as soon as external hard drives are free I'll download and rip everything in a lossless format. Until then. There is NOT that much difference in sound quality between a properly converted MP3 (192 or 320 - whichever sounds better to you) and a flac, ogg, ape, or even wav. I know you're foaming at the mouth right now, getting ready to explain to me how incredibly wrong I am, but There just isn't a sonic difference that is noticeable enough to the average portable music playing listener to justify using three, four or more times the storage space. It's just a file. It's not a CD or a record, it's a file.

I'm sure it will. But it comes with a price, literally... Space for these gems isn't that easy to conjure up, so expect to spend money if u really want 2 collect

Had to buy a whole new external harddrive to hold new DLs that are freshly being uploaded. 1 terrabyte (but really 930 GB to be exact). So for future birthdays, job bonuses, & xmases, ask for a harddrive! Cuz you'll need it.

FLAC really eats up my space, even more than movies, so I do convert to 320 MP3, except for my favorite concerts I leave it to both versions, so right now I'm struggling to stay above 20 GB worth of space!

Sorry to go into technics, but Western Digital (WD) harddrives r really cool. Most trusted, affordable brand I must say. I had to get a desktop one though becuz the portables are even more expensive & doesnt hold that much space as the desktop. So I have to tug it around everywhere I go & make sure there's an outlet, but it's not that bad.

Amazon has pretty good deals, but I got mine online from Walmart.

I'm done with my rant....

So many I can't count. Coz then i have to do the Artist part ones too and I give up.

right now including all stages of prince: 6828 but only because don't have it all on:-D 300gb total in all formats

i also use western digital that i keep all my flac, video, ape and all mp3 on. and a seperate one in the closet for backup just in case.

i listen to the flac mostly at home and if i need to listen to flac will convert to mp3 to put on ipod BUT keep original flac always.

very excited about all the new music and quality that is coming out from all our friends that make these collections possible; THANK U

i was think I have many songs....but, you're masters, guys !

I have only 261, but people call me crazy. ^ ^

Man, I just got my first HD for Christmas, a few weeks ago my computer crashed and I lost ALL my music...it was terrible. I didn't get a Western Digital, it's a Seagate. For future reference though I'll look into those types. I've only got a few things in FLAC, most of my stuff is MP3, would love to have everything in both formats though, since I primarily listen to music through an ipod/itunes, and the quality of lossless is desirable.
