I think about 50 GB around there? All metal, it's what drives me

I still have about 30 more discographies of bands I want to download....

and some jazz I have yet to download, I'm really starting to dig jazz
 
size doesnt matter , how you use it does

My two "main" music folders are 183gigs combined, and I've got another few GBs of music scattered on my HDDs, so overall I've got around 190gigs of music. It's mostly MP3s encoded with 192kbps, that makes it roughly 3 months worth of music, and I've listened to ~98% of it at least once, and multiple times to most of the stuff.

8TBs of music? Come on. Unless it's all encoded losslessly, there's no way you could listen to that much music even in a decade. Literally. It's 10 1/2 years of music encoded in 192kbps, or 6 years of music encoded in 320kbps. Considering that HDDs with 1TB of storage space haven't been around for that long, and you'd need a shitload of HDDs with storage spaces of 500GBs or less, that really sounds unbelievable. Pics or it didn't happen.

And yes, I do realize that having 10 years of music doesn't mean that you've listened to all of it, but what's the point of having that much, then?

The majority of it is probably lossless, people with large music collections generally don't settle for the low quality that 192 kbps brings. I'm surprised that you encode at 192, someone of your musical caliber (190 gigs of mp3s has to count for something) usually would take 320kbps/V0 mp3s as the very lowest quality they have, the rest being lossless. That's what I usually do, though I have a fair amount of 192 mp3s from my dad and such and I can definately hear the difference :I

It's not like I chose to have 192kbps MP3s. I've got tons of live recordings and stuff, and when there's no 320kbps/FLAC version of it around, then so be it.
