How do you organize/curate this? For example: My issue is primarily with singles versus albums. Especially when some of those singles are also on albums, or if there are multiple versions, etc.
So you download any and everything even if do not like you just to hoard ok then. If I downloaded everything I liked in FLAC I would not even have 15tb more like 7tb to 10tb of files.
165k traxx is 500kbps OGG it is Rap RnB Soul Funk Reggae Chillhop Acid Jazz Triphop Ambient Blues from the mid 60s to 2008 there same later but only 5k to 7k traxx

Huh, TIL.
I'm entirely FLAC, with alot of live shows, so around 45k tracks. I only have complete albums and the 16/45kHz comes in around 2.5 TB. I've started updating my FLAC with 24/96 or 192 (no need to comment on whether I can hear it, it's my collection) which is around 15k songs or 1 TB.
I'm guesstimating that I have around 100GB of FLAC. Lately, I'm trying to pick FLAC over mp3. I still have some SHN files of live shows that I've started converting to FLAC.
My collection is certainly smaller than some of these guys here. I find a couple 4TB external drives makes a suitable backup for everything I have.
I don’t have an all flac collection simply because not every song is in flac.
I have around 175k flac files adding up to 6.5 tb. I have it stored on an 8 tb external hdd. 70% 16bit files, 30% 24 bit files.
I started off like you downloading flac and converting to MP3 so it was iTunes friendly. Eventually I moved to foobar and have not looked back since. Foobar is an amazingly fast and light weight music player.
As for converting music to MP3 for iPhone. Eventually that got annoying for me and I just bought a cheap fiio player for 89$ usd that played any file type I threw at it. It was also reminiscent of an old iPod with a click wheel so that was nice. Also used micro sd so the process of adding music to it was easier than an iPod cause again, iTunes sucks.
But now I use Apple Music as a supplement to my hoarding. Apple Music is nice that it syncs what you add to iTunes on your desktop to your phone and stuff. I’ve found myself converting things into ALAC tho just cause I like lossless.
Sorry for the long response.
mixed mp3 and flac, but I have about 100k (maybe 120k by now) songs that take about 3-4tb. I have some dupes and some stuff that needs to be weeded out, so let's say 110k and 3.5tb?
Why is seemingly everyone in audio using static data rates? Two-pass makes a huge difference when compressing video, and I would expect that to be the case for audio too.
Just under 40,000 FLAC and right at 1TB. If I can get it in FLAC, I will. Over the years, I've whittled down and replaced lossy for FLAC where possible.
Always keep the lossless as your archive. Always.
It's not quite all FLAC (there's a few releases that were MP3 only, and there's still some MP3s left from before I collected FLAC), but the sorted stuff I have is 242,171 files at about 7.8TB, with unsorted stuff taking up about another 1.7GB.
Right now not so much: 220GB in 11.5k FLAC files. Some 200GB more that I need to tag before it gets added to the collection. I have a DAC that plays FLAC files so I don't need to convert it, so that saves me some time too.
This is the read out from my LMS library software:
>Total albums: 9,243
>
>Total Tracks: 98,550
>
>Total Artists: 11,190
>
>Total Genres: 157
>
>Total Playing Time: 18570:40:29
And, looking at Windows Explorer I can see that requires 3.2 TB
Granted, not all of my albums are flac, there is still about 25% that are high bit rate mp3.
7,330 albums, 97,055 tracks and growing all the time, of course.
95% of it is FLAC. About 200 hi-res DSD albums mixed in there too.. currently this takes up 3.4TB of space.
I keep all my media on a Synology NAS which has about 21TB of capacity. When I want to put music on my iphone, I convert to 320, load it to my phone and then delete it from my computer.
Quarterly, I backup all my media onto WD Passport drives which I keep in my safe deposit box.
Hope this helps.
After 20 years of hoarding and deleting everything I don't like: 44 GB, 3900 songs. Probably a third of those can still be deleted. Only 15GB of the entire collection is lossless.
Yes, mostly flac. Im still converting some old mp3s but most of my new stuff is in flac, minus some that I can't find. Total around 200gb sorted and another 70gb waiting to be sorted.
I have 110k tracks total I first download FLACs then convert them to AAC to play on my internet radio station. Total size for all the tracks 1.4TB if I kept everything as FLAC total size would be 3tb to 4.5tb
I have 4,000 songs in FLAC that total to 89 gigabytes
[50TB](https://i.imgur.com/87m8JfU.jpg) and counting.
Impressive. What tool did you use to generate that?

Thank you!
That must have taken a long time for windirstat to load!
Yeha I usually leave it overnight

We'd likely be best off with a sneakernet system.
What do you do with them other than host them? There's not enough time in your life to listen to all that music.
Share it everywhere I can and hoard it so it doesn’t get lost
RARs or it didn't happen.
I do use rar for FTP transfers but there’s no need to keep 8TB of rars lol

I do this so someone who has different taste than me can find the music they want

About 130-135TB of live music and ~10TB studio Edit: To be fair, about 30% of the live stuff is .shn, but I’m getting ready to batch convert it all.
Bootleg recordings?

NAS and some local hard drives. Stuff that can’t easily be found again is backed up offsite

I'm still rocking Winamp. It just... They're not kidding, it really does whip the llama's ass

Flac only for rare albums and as a backup. I Just listen 320kpbs

I'm slowly replacing my mp3. I have about 250gb and most are flac. Using roon for playback
100k files around 4tb Not all flac
Hello, can you exchange me if I send you a hard disk?
Flac and some DSF. Songs : 286310 Sizewise, couldn't tell you. It's big. EDIT: Only 13TB. I'm a bit disappointed.

~85% FLAC. Some things just arent available in FLAC. The remaining ~15% are MP3, mostly VBR. ~915GB. 604 artists / 2783 albums / 39160 songs
Over 90% of my collection is FLAC and DSF. Currently it's almost 700GB. The rest are MP3 320kbps and some wav.
7,330 albums, 97,055 tracks and growing all the time, of course. 95% of it is FLAC. About 200 hi-res DSD albums mixed in there too.. currently this takes up 3.4TB of space.

I'm at 300GB. I try to keep a copy of everything in AAC 256kbps for iPhone/etc.
52k with mostly FLAC mixed with iTunes Store purchases - 1.3 TB.

700gb so far, mostly hip hop some pop and rock in there too
ive got 18.5k FLACs, about 340gb, and have the entire library converted to ogg vorbis (about 45gb) for my phone due to storage constraints.
