As the title says, shoot away. Try to mention the number of songs rather than the size, as different bitrates can make a hell of a difference. If that's inconvenient, mention the size and bitrate.

Mine weighs in at 1600 songs.

Music collected from friends, CD shops, all set to mp3 so far

Total CDs = 60, average of 100 songs per CD = 6000

Music downloaded after I got broadband - 33 GB

Total songs = 6000 + 5600 = 11600

Mix of Hindi / English / Malayalam / Ghazals / Classical / Instrumental / Bhajans etc

Meantime, anyone interested in sharing legal / non copyrighted MP3 ? ?

I got about 6gb of audio,I dont consider videos in music cos their audio quality usually sucks.

But only listen to say about 1gb out of it.

Goobi, its like our mood.

I mean I listen to fast music when I am in office, I like ghazals when I travel. When I travel with old people, they ask me to put bhajans and I like that too. When I chat with a lot of people or when I do some work really complicated, I prefer instrumental.

So eventhough the collection is huge, I play different songs at different occasions.

12 GB. No of Songs = Unknown, lol

BTW, are all those legal :D ;)

1gb=1024 mb
12gb = 12288 mb

taking 1 song is 5 mb ( maximum )
ie = 2457.6 songs.. round off... 2450 songs..

lets take one album carries a total of 10 songs on average

which brings to 245.76 albums

roughly of 246 albums..

with cost of each album atleast with 200 ruppees ..we get around 49,152Rs..

thats lots of money..
and that 200 rupees is something i took it as average.. say some english albums are costly say costing nearly 500Rs.. and some legal mp3 version of indian songs cost around 75 Rs - 100 Rs..

hence we take it as 200Rs.. which is as for me is undervalued..
thereal cost if legit .. should be 1,10,592 Rs...

Giga... ??? :-D how is my calculation .. still say ur songs legit ??

heah man dont take it seriuos.. i am seriuosly want to burn sometime .. hencethe math..

correct me if the calculation is anywhere incorrect..

p.s : how are u santhosh.. been long time we spoke...hope ur project goes well...
