Hi all, These posts of 20k 40k and 90k collections (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23701&page=11)got me thinking about listening times and habits. Assuming a mean track length of 4.5 mins, and typical listening of 4 hours per day / 50 tracks ( last FM stats tell me its usually much lower than this)......then here are some interesting stats for those with big libraries
If you have 1000 tracks, thats 2.8 days of continuous listening day and night. If you have 10,000 tracks then thats 29 weeks of "typical listening" (see chart enclosed) If you have 100,000 tracks [= 3 tracks from every CD released in the US for 1 year]** then thats 16.5 years(!) to listen to your collection 3 times (in a use typical pattern). If you were mad enough to collect 1 million tracks [thats every track from all music officially released in the world in 1 year!!]** it would probably take 30 years to collect (manically collecting 33k tracks per year) and then 54.9 years to listen to once - ie an entire lifetime!!!! thats food for thought R Alex ** Source http://www2.sims.berkeley.edu/research/projects/how-much-info-2003/optical.htm +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Listening time with mp3s.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1524| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- ajmitchell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25759 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
