enough to play a good set/listen to good music…
14000 for djing. (actual tracks that i KNOW and that i know how and where to use is much less, around 2k)
Several hundred thousand in my listening library (Approx 2tb)
Holy shit. 2TB. I thought I had a lot…
Well if it matters much of it is flac 24/96, so that takes up loads of space compared to regular mp3s 
I’ve got around the same amount in 320kbps MP3s, but only a VERY small amount of that is actually in my DJ library.
2TB is only about 200,000 tracks at 320kbps.
Only 200,000? ONLY?!? 
The itunes store has 26.000.000 of them 
5137 total tracks in iTunes as of today. Probably about half is electronic/suitable for mixing. I have about 100 or so tracks in my “to be listened to” folder too sadly. Gotta get to work.
4500+ vinyl tunes, 900+ on CD, 58,471 digital. 12 Years of collecting.
I used to have about 20,000 but now I have brought it down to 4294. I never listened to 20k tracks, my goal is to down to about 2500 if I can. I also have signed up for Spotify premium which helps a ton with disposable tracks the I will only list to a few times.
Vinyl Edit - I got my vinyl down to about 1000 quality tracks from 8000 ish I had a few years ago. That said I may have played about 20 of them this year. DVS changed the game.
i got about maybe 35 songs. my drive went poof and took my collection with it. and yup no backups
How did it go poof? you might be able to recover.
Thanks Patch, Let’s hope they are in a better place now.
I’m not entirely sure on how it went poof it just did, It started doing the clicking sound and my OS does not see it at all anymore checked on bios and it would seem that it does not see it as well.
If the BIOS doesn’t see the drive at all then it’s probably a controller failure. The data might still be intact, but you’ll need a new controller board. If I had the drive here I could tell you definitively; your best bet is to find somewhere in your area who’s DEEP in technology (not a shop or “recovery service” as they’ll charge you $1000) and get them to double check the drive’s controller in a few other systems. If the controller checks out and it’s a physical problem, then running SpinRite on the drive might get some of it back.
Saying that, if you’re using a Mac you’re probably fucked regardless of what the problem is; HPFS+ is notoriously difficult to recover data from a failure.
This will be my last post for some time (hiatus before the 1000th post, i’m weird like that), but given that he’s had the click of death that might mean head damage, so a new controller wouldn’t do anything in that event. In that case, recovery services are his only option…
Well there’s my shining light of hope, I’ll probably have to do some research locally on what company or who can do this for me but im sure data recovery from this drive would cost no less than 1k whoever it may be but that’s just me i just hope im dead wrong on this one
a little over 1000. I try to be good about only keeping music I can use, and getting rid of tracks that don’t work anymore.
about 84,000 now, from years of collecting and pooling and i do mobiles
About 4900 on the laptop but almost 10000 on the desk, I’m a huge metal fan and had a big hip-hop kick years back so those are still on the main drive but can’t mix metal for the public so I keep that shit for rainy days.
