mattx Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Been backing up a laptop today and I would say the majority of it is iTunes / music. Having a spare 10 mins I have managed to work out that I have 'backed up' or 'removed' - [ it's sitting on a NAS share ] just over 2TBs worth of music. It's nice always having something listen to in the office.......
GREED Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 That's some going! I got a shock the other day when I looked and had almost 900GB of music, but the worked out I had duplicated all my tracks as backup when I was tidying the tracks (using a great little stud program mp3tag). So, half that!
tech_guy Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 We had a member of staff once who kept complaining that they had no space left on their drive in their laptop. I went along to have a look and 80% of the drive was filled up with music.....

tech_guy Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 No, but they had the cheek to ask if we were going to buy a bigger hdd for them.... :-(

LeMarchand Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 No, but they had the cheek to ask if we were going to buy a bigger hdd for them.... :-( Oh yes - had that with a teacher who filled their drive with photos of new daughter. I told them to ask the head if he was prepared to finance that purchase...
creese Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Just imagine an Eddie Stobbart driver saying, I can't get all those fridges in the back as I have the extended family's shopping in the back for xmas.

sidewinder Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) 2Tb?!? wow I've got a large collection but still only pushing 50GB! Edit: Oh you meant that you had removed from machines/network. I thought you were talking about your personal collection! Edited December 15, 2010 by sidewinder
mattx Posted December 15, 2010 Author Posted December 15, 2010 is that 2Tb of lossless audio? or mp3? Mixture.

I thought you were talking about your personal collection! I don't own a MP3 or player like that - personal CD player yes. There is a MP3 player on my phone but it's rubbish - in fact there are lots of things on my phone which are a complete waste of time which I will never or never intend to use.
