Are you an iTunes Music Store addict?
Authored by: visionaut on May 10, '06 02:42:45PM

Rob,

By my calc, 454 songs is 45 CDs, not 21 - so you're more addicted than you think! (or iTunes HAS changed your music purchase habits).

BTW, I like the idea of a follow-up survey, with total songs in collection, purchased portion, and whether one's music appetite/consumption has changed (up/down) since the coming-of-age of digital music.

"454 songs is 45 CDs, not 21"

I didn't put the details of my estimate in the note, but it went like this...

The total time, in minutes, for all of my purchases, is 1,632.26. In that total, though, there's some stuff that really shouldn't be counted as musical CD purchases -- comedy albums, a few videos, some spoken word stuff, etc.

So I took my total minutes down by 360, or six hours woth of stuff. I then divided the result by 60 minutes, which is my guess as to the average length of a CD (they can be up to 74 minutes long).

1,272.26 รท 60 = 21.2 CDs

So there ya go; that's how I arrived at 21 CDs. Aren't you glad you asked? :)
