Do you have your mp3's on their own drive or partition? How many? How many GB's?

[Hulk]

I have them on the second partition of my main drive. There are only two partitions on this drive so I figure it would be best to have them on the slower inside tracks.

I have about 6.4GB, around 1650 songs.

 

[Dulanic]

I have them on a seperate computer.... I play them over the network, so it saves me space. The computer they are on is just a server, 16GB, 4094 songs, alot are 256KBps.

 

[mcbiff]

I have a 10 Gb partition for mp3s, currently I have ~2000 songs there (8 gb).

 

[office boy]

Just a folder in my third drive. Only about 3Gb worth.

 

[Biggs]

I also have them on the second partition of my main drive.

 

[CrimsonWolf]

I keep all mine on my second hard drive, a 8.4GB Western Digital @5400rpm. I don't have very many, only 244. They take up about 1.6GB.

 

[IamDavid]

I keep mine on a seperate partition on my second HD.. 5.3 Gigs so far...

 

[Noriaki]

Well I have two IBM 75GXPs a 45gig and a 30gig

I have 2 ~14Gig partitons on each (and 2 little ones for Vmem on the 30 and some OS and apps ones on the 45) and at the moment one of those 4 14gig partitions is dedicated to MP3s. It's about 2/3s full I think.

I have about 58 or 60 CDs all converted to MP3s, and probably 5 gigs extra downloaded...I've never counted them. I'm guessing somewhere in the 1500-2000 range though.

 

[Renob]

I only have one drive 30gig and only one partition

 

[TomC25]

WD 45GB with 3 partitions

Drive E: has all my storage - MP3 and Videos

I have about 9GB of MP3 and about 5GB of videos

 

[tjdavis1138]

I have all of mine on my second hard drive, about 2G worth.

 

[Liquidity]

Check out my rigs below for full specs, but I have an MP3 server with 96gb of space, currently ~66gb full. Not exactly sure how many songs that is, I'll have to figure out how to check that (mmm, new linux command...mmmm.)

Comprising the 96mb are:
(1) 60gb IBM 75gxp ATA/66
(2) IBM Ultrastar 18ES

I'm going to sell the two 18ES's on ebeigh and buy another 60gb 75gxp (or hopefully I can find a 60gb 60gxp in stock somewhere.)

85% of the songs are ripped from CD, anywhere from 128 to 256 (I kept upping the bitrate as storage got cheaper .) The rest are from net sites (legal ones like Epitonic and EMusic.)

 

[thorin]

Not their own partition but not my boot partition either.

3.2GB
I'm not on that sys right now so who knows the exact count 1000-2000 Songs.

[Ryan]

Mine are on a separate partition, which is 4.3gb. I only have 4 percent of the space left, so I guess it's time to get a new HD

 

[nortexoid]

i have an 8.4GB Maxtor @5400rpm which holds all my mp3 and other miscellaneous files...

 

[ChrisOh]

Uh yeah... I have uh my empee-trees on my wade away with 2 ICBM 75GXP's. About 25jigga-bites of them... uh yeah

 

[bulldawg]

2116 files using 9.5 gigs on first partition of second drive.

 

[Wuming]

2168 files in 8.59 gb in the 2nd partition of my second hdd.

 

[kami]

Mine have their own physical drive. Just a cheap 8.4gb 5400rpm Fujitsu gets the job done. ~3.7gb free

 

[Cpntrips]

Why create another partition for mp3s?

 

[urbantechie]

Have em on a seperate 10GB drive with about 6GB of music .

 

[backWERD]

They are on a second drive about I have about 650mp3's

 

[CrimsonWolf]

Cpntrips:

Personally, I would do that so that in the event I had to format my C: partition, then the mp3's would still be on the D: partition. Other people may have there own reasons.

 

[Erasmus-X]

I keep them on my drive for a while and then I just archive them onto CDs (saves a ton of space).

 

[SUOrangeman]

With Project Jukebox (see my systems linked below), I will attempt to convert my CD collection (130 discs or so) to MP3 and run SHOUTcast/Napster along with my exisiting collection (a few GB). I expect to RAID two 30GB 75GXPs, unless the 45GB unts get cheap or 60GXPs are better. I'll probably dedicate 20 to 30GB to MP3s.
