How many MP3's u all got..?

[Melissa Nute]

I can honestly say I have none because my computer doesn't have sound and I don't have enough patience to wait for the songs to download.

[Harrison]

I feel for you melissa...

I use to have a 56k...It was brutal downloading...

Got cable now tho...and all is well

7.74 gigs, 1,803 files.... a bit of quick math, thats on average 4.43 megs per song.

That brings me to another question: when you guys download/rip songs, do you care about quality? Personally, I go for the bigger files - those are usually at 192 or 160 kbps rather than 128 kbps. I can hear a difference between 128 and 160 or 192, while people have told me they can't. Do YOU hear a difference, and if yes, do you try and go for the better quality, or do you don't care? Or, do you have no clue what I'm talking about?

[Harrison]

Most of mine are either 128 or 192...

I can hear a difference, but it's not big enough for me to really care...

[Chubtoad]

It depends what kind of music I'm downloading. When I rip a cd that I know has very precise chords, or powerful songs, like the entire "Wish You Were Here" album by Pink Floyd, then I rip at 190, otherwise i'll go for 128.

[Harrison]

Wish You Were Here is alright....Dark Side of the Moon is the best

Actually...I won't argue....All Pink Floyd is the best

[IsabelRinging]

I have about 170 mp3s and a 4 gig hard drive. *cries*

Also, WinMX is GOD.

I can get 7 kb/s on my 56k out of that thing. Slow? Pfft. Morpheus has recently turned to crap, and Kazaa... well, I'm sure we all know about that already.

[Scottie2Hottie]

correction, 933. I need to download some more!

[Clark Gilbert]

I think WinMX is the best...runs fast and it has everything i want....(dont like not having a pause/resume feature thougH )

For an MP3 count i think i have somewhere between 200-300, but i only have about 10 on my computer..

i have more luck using kazaa than winmx

[DanL]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought gnutella, kazaa, and morpheus all use the same network? Atleast in the old morpheus, I've downloaded from people named "xxx@kazaa.blahblahblah," and the new morpheus says that it connects to the gnutella network. Besides the whole spyware bundled in Kazaa and the new Morpheus losing all of it's advanced search options (*points back to my MP3 Quality post*), is there a difference between the two in terms of the network?
