8,74 GB mixed music, I got a kinda weird music taste, listen to bands and stuff that doesn't fit together.
 
liek 70GB or something. But I'm only listening like to 2GB of it frequently

lil' less than 400 gigs.
Mind you, I started collecting about twenty years ago, at the dawn of CDs. Had like three hundred CDs at the time. The change from "buy" to "not buy" was purely based on available space at the time. Each album is a memory, each genre is an era in my life; used to like most kinds of music, but never really liked hanging out with people who listen to only one type of music.

After burning my 300th cd of MP3, three friends and I decided to merge our collections, tidy up the filenames, tidy up the ID3s, and download the covers for each album. About 4500 albums got the treatment. Most batch jobs had to be divided in order to carry out most operations, and even nowadays, I can't plug the hard drive to anything running WMP or any crappy "I have to generate a library of your files before I can read them" music prog.
Over the years, some data got deteriorated, some oooold 112k albums were replaced by VBR versions, but overall I'm pretty happy with my collection.
Figure in two-three years, when portable devices get access to humongous amounts of space, I'll finally be ready to carry it all in my pocket

According to WinAmp, 650MB. I remove all the songs I don't really listen to often, so probably 1GB. Not much. Most in 320kbps.
 
Used to be about 9 gigs, but erased about 7 gigs, realizing I only listened about a gig and half of songs.

Then, I switched to FLAC, and it's at 6 gigs now, with less than 1/4 of what I originally had. About 8 gigs will be soon added, when a lot of the stuff I'm downloading are finished.
 
Haha I still can't believe how people an have music libraries of over 50GB... well maybe cause they like every music genre ever existed

Do you guys actually listen to all of it or just keep huge libs to show off/just for fun?
 
I have like 9 gigs but I only actually listen to about a fraction of it. Some songs just get so overplayed that you don't want to listen to them anymore, etc.
