How much new music did you import into your library this year so far?

[kylo4]

I got a steady job going this year, imported over 50GB/10,000 more songs.

[Germansuplex]

Easily 10-15 thousand more.

Late last year or early this year I went through the arduous process of ripping all of my discs into lossless formats. I've also discovered a couple of GREAT live-concert bootleg sites which I've downloaded several dozen live shows from. I also convert all iTunes AAC tracks to mp3 for better compatability (of course, I keep the original files for archiving. I have a "Purchased/Lossless playlist with all purchased, lossless and lossless CD rips for archiving purposes) So for every disc I rip, mp3/iTunes purchase or lossless album I download, I have the original copy and a 192kbps VBR mp3 file.

If we're talking unique songs, then it's about half that number.

BTW, this forum here has been a great resource for helping me better sort my library.

How about some real numbers from your itunes library? Something in the format of the original posts?

Update, almost 6 months later and it's:

2008: 5136 items @ 32.08 GB

Of that, over 1300 items are re-rips or re-encodes and the rest is new audio.

na the question shouldnt be how much music you have but how you choose what music to put on your ipod that is the question that taunts me i have 416GB 64861 songs and no idea which ones too put on my 30GB ipod

[badlertuneup]

Where do I go to look up that info? I've imported a lot , so I am very interested to see the actual number...

if you set itunes to show options of "date added" you can the create a smart play list of the music. it needs some parameters of what you want. so set them as when was the first song you added all the way through when the last song you added.

the bottom of the pane will show you how many tracks, size and all that

I have imported approximately 1500 songs this year which have taken up 5.5GB It's all quite scattered (hardly any of it is on iTunes) so I can't give and exact number, but this year has been a mammoth year for new music.

2009 Just got my 160Gb Classic, but I've been busy.
Importing ~10700+ songs
36 days
99.30gb. Everything except Classical Itunes Plus (AAC 256kbpsVBR)
error corrected. Classical done AAC 320kbpVBR
All is safely on a 1Tb Simple Drive that stays disconnected unless I'm going to use ITunes! Yes, I've finally had the epiphany on Ipods and my music!!!!!!! I was one of those lossless snobs, figuring only a $4-6000 MacIntosh Hard drive unit would be good enough.

I figure that doing a lossless import, then download to Ipod compressed is overkill, as, like all technologies, in 5 years all our efforts will be obsolete anyway. Therefore, my archive will always be the original CD's till studies tell me they're degrading! Why bother with all the extra steps. If I ever find a piece that I can hear a decreased quality on, I'll reimport it Apple Lossless etc or a click up from where it currently is. I, too have been lucky to have extraordinary hearing, (years ago tested and could pick up 26Khz, of course that was in my thirties)

I had to reformat my computer, so I'm still in the process of transferring everything over. So far I've added over 100Gigs O_O
