Off topic, but what do you listen to that takes up 350GB? Is everything in FLAC?


A fair collection of (DJ) mixes (live or not) and sets can easily account for a few hundred gigabytes. Take Tiesto's "Club Life" and Armin Van Buurin's "A State of Trance" for example. With each set being around two hours or more of high quality mp3, with the former having over 300 episodes, and the latter having around a hundred. These things add up quickly.


I listen to a lot of music (from all genres). I only purchase/download full albums (even if most of the songs are not very good), and only listen to at least 196k MP3 (most are at least 256k or higher). Some are Apple Lossless (converted from FLAC). And throw in a few discographies in there and all of a sudden you have 350GB. I've discovered that I add about 50GB/6 months.
