45000 in iTunes. 1200 in Traktor. I have been collecting for over 20 years. It took me two years to burn all my CDs and a lot of time to rip my vinyl.
8165 at the moment only 2193 of actual ‘EDM’
I got around 3000 digital files on my DJ laptop. 500 or so records, 500 or so CDs and a pile of old HDDs under the bed that probably have 10,000+ tracks, I haven’t looked at those for 5-10 years though so god knows whats on there, some of the stuff is from the Napster days so it’s probably better it stays under the bed.
If I’m counting everything on my HDDs that I have laying about, it’s probably upwards of 40,000. On the PC I use for mobiles/clubs every week, I’ve slimmed it down to about 3500-4000. It’s constantly changing though - subbing out older/less popular stuff for new or trendy songs.

Been collecting since 03/04. Tracks going back to mid to late 90’s. Maybe further.
All house music in some form.
Pretty much just filled a 750GB hard drive.
Majority is MP3 192-320Kbs.
I daren’t count, because that would just illuminate how much I have to sort out as I have no filing system whatsoever.
Enough. And that’s all you need.
I’m on about 1,500 tracks, that just in my “House, Electro, Tech” folder.
doesn’t include my Trance or Psy-Trance stuff.
I think this is my problem. Drive wont spin up, rather makes kind of a clicking noise. Know of any decent, decently priced recovery services?
No such thing I’m afraid. If you can see your drive in the BIOS then give SpinRite a go. If SpinRite doesn’t work, it’s a freezer/radiator job, and if THAT doesn’t work, then we’re into drive disassembly territory.
If you can’t even see the drive in the BIOS, it’s usually a controller problem.
drive wont spin, cant be read by any computer. I know that shes in bad shape. It has about 30k tracks on it, but its literally my entire music collection from my 25 years of life. I guess Ill hold off till drive recovery is a bit cheaper
until then
Does it show up as connected in the BIOS? Doesn’t really matter if you can see the partitions etc in Windows, but if the BIOS can see the CONTROLLER then you can try using SpinRite.
I have over 90,000 tracks BUT play off of around 500-1000 tracks if that
I usually dj with 20k on my ssd electronic music spanning from early 90s and mostly digital copies of vinyl I’ve owned. It was much larger but in 2003 I had a 80gb drive that contained a lot of my rare white labels crash and after recovery only about 40gb was salvageable due to glitching in the recovery processes.. One I’ve really wanted to find but can’t is Kate bush running up that hill infusion remix.. Sasha vs garbage expanding girl .. This one I reconstructed it to repair the glitchy because of the rarity of it an that it was only glitched in one spot…
Had some really rare gems that I wish I wouldn’t of had lost or stolen in the early 2000s I estimate roughy 100whites/test presses with unreleased mixes … That all said I keep multiple copies now of my own vinyl rips.
when my drives fail I just buy a new housing of ebay for a few dollars, then just transplant everything. I’ve had 3 hard drives fail and this fixed all of them
I’ve been djing for a little over a year now and I’m sitting around 400-500 tracks, not much but I know them all inside and out.
Still got my copy…

Tune and a half that one.
I used to have 60k+ but you know you can’t play that all.
so I filtered and picked 4000 songs and then erased rest of them.
now I also have 700 best picks out of 4000.
About 10,000. Singles, albums, instrumentals, short sounds, scratch sounds, acapella’s. Mainly build out of tracks ripped from my CD’s, vinyl and online music stores.
Also have around a 1000 records laying around.
About 6000 digital files, and around 3000 records. So I would guestimate somewhere around 12-15,000 individual tracks. Not including albums / complations…
