How big is your classical directory

[allchopin]

I feel that bigger is always better, whether it be parties, cheeseburgers, salaries, and especially, classical mp3 directories.  I boast over 5.27 gb of pure classical goodness on my hard drive *tear of pride*.  Can anyone step this?

[DarkWind]

1229 songs, 7.62 GBs.

Don't meant to crash your party dude, but:

Piano Music :  125GB
Scores:           19GB
Piano Video :  42GB
Piano DVDs: I think last time I count was 38 of them.
And around 200 Piano CDs.

[Peachy_Keen]

I don't think file sizes really indicate how much music you have... I keep all of my music encoded at 512, so someone with twice as me but with a much lower bitrate may actually need less room.

Woah. Any Piano DVDs you reccomend? I've only seen the Art of Piano, but I want to see full fledged performances.

Impressive... do you rip most of your music from CDs?

Yes, that's true.  But a size is typically a general indication of how much music you have (the average mp3 bitrate is 128, so the deviation from 128 wouldnt be too much, except in your case).

Damn dude you have a huge hard drive!

[Motrax]

My hard drive could fit that... but I've only used up 11 gigs. I envy you...  

I've 6 days of music. Complete piano works of Brahms!

[Tash]

1840 pieces/songs which adds up to somewhere over 5GB (i think that's about right i really don't know that sort of stuff is a bit beyond me) and counting- gets bigger everyday yay to my mum buying me an ipod so i can listen to the whole thing whilst travelling to uni!

Yes, that's true.  But a size is typically a general indication of how much music you have (the average mp3 bitrate is 128, so the deviation from 128 wouldnt be too much, except in your case).  

I ripped some of my CD so it's easier to browse/listen to.

For eg, the Richter in Prague 15 CD collection and Horowitz in DG and Columbia, since I don't like changing CDs and stuff.

And I usually rip at Varying Bitrate from 128Kbps to 160kbps

And I have 3 Hardrive
1 for my laptop = 30GB
2 external , 1 for 120GB 1 for 200GB

and I only collect complete album mp3/audio, I don't collect random/individual mp3, nor do I make folder like 'Beethoven' and put everything by Beethoven into it.

I only collect complete CD, unless it's really really rare stuff, like improvisation clip of Cziffra.

and I sometimes do fear my HD will crash and I will lose everything, it took me quite long to collect all these.

[steinwaymodeld]

Woah. Any Piano DVDs you reccomend? I've only seen the Art of Piano, but I want to see full fledged performances.

O, Yundi Li chopin competition, Barenboim recital for the anniversary (of something, i forgot), 2 piano titan Richter and ABM, rare even ABM, Horowitz in Moscow and London, Arrau EMI series, Libetta La Roque, Lugansky La Roque, Boris Berekozsky La Roque, Arrau 80th birthdary, there are a lot, RUbinstein Brahms1st (that's actually a awesome performance),Zimerman plays CHopin and Schubert....


Those video above are either from the DVD or my video collection.

[steinwaymodeld]

And one last thing.

All my music are Piano-related (piano solo, or piano concerto or piano chamber...)

[bitus]

Piano Music :  125GB

19 Gigs of scores??? where did you get that from?
I have complete scores (*pdf.) of all piano music from well-known composers and a lot of rare stuff and rare composers... (all classical and some jazz) but i have a little over 2 gigs...  1732 files
Not really counting, i have 6.000 other files from very rare composers in other formats and over 1000 pop scores.  Do you have a list with the stuff that you have?
Thank you.

O, I have several sources, and I just downloaded everything from those 'sources', there are always redudent files.

[Pumpkinhead]

Hey guys, I'm really eager to view ANY piano dvd's. By any chance, do you guys know where I can find these DVD's? the internet? I'm Deprived ya'll

[bitus]

Amazon.com has quite a big selection of dvd's... I have some videos that you couldn't buy over the internet. However, they are quite big, and impossible to be sent by e-mail.
Another solution would be to try downloading them with eMule (like Kazaa). That'a how i got mine.

Allchopin... do you have a list with your pdf's by any chance? Thanks.
The Bitus.

[steinwaymodeld]

By the way, for complete Brahms piano works.

Listen to Julis Katchen's.

[allchopin]

Allchopin... do you have a list with your pdf's by any chance? Thanks.

I think Steinway is your man... I never mentioned pdf's.  However, I do have a moderate directory of sheet music as well (about 640 files; have the complete chopin works).

[steinwaymodeld]

Do you know if there is a way to produce a list of the files in my folders?

It might be useful.

[bitus]

Actualy you can...
there are two ways: get a program that will list everything for you, with details, and a lot of cool features (search, list, arrange, etc). or... the easy way... go to cmd (command prompt) and get a list from there... i think the command was *dir or something like that... in the specified directory. After that, just copy and paste the result (i was about to do that, when i forgot about it... i'm going to try and let you know the commands.

i tried the 2nd method, but thing is my directory is too big that it doesn't display correctly.

do u know any programme for the 1st method?

[allchopin]

Do you know if there is a way to produce a list of the files in my folders?

Do you just want a count of how many files you have in a certain folder?  Or details on each file?  Explain 'produce a list of files'..

[Spatula]

74 CDs of Music
Each CD approx 68 Minutes (average)
74 CDs X 68 Mins = 5032 Mins
5032 Mins/ 60 Mins/hr = 83.87 Hours

However that is small compared to some other counterparts on this forum

[steinwaymodeld]

Just the name of the folder will work, I have a folder for every CD.

[allchopin]

Just the name of the folder will work, I have a folder for every CD.

You're not being very clear... I still don't understand.  Maybe this will clear it up: right click on your whole classical directory (or highlight all classical music CD folders- whichever method you use) and go to properties.  Under the dialog will be complete size and # of files.

I know how many files i have, and how big the folder is.

I want a tree-diagram/whole-list of my collection.

So that people know what I have.

[bitus]

ok... i just modified this post again...
Here's the easiest way:
go to cmd (command prompt) and after you go to the directory where your pdf's are in (for example, mine are in c:\Downloads\Piano Music PDF so i typed in: cd c:\downloads\... etc), type this:

dir /s /b /a:-d /o:N /W >listpdf.txt

This commmand will create a file (*.txt) in the same directory where your pdf's are, listing all the files contained in that directory...
Hope this is clear...

O thx, i will try this at home tonight.

[allchopin]

Ahh, I see.

dir /s /b /a:-d /o:N /W >listpdf.txt

However, this leaves the directory prefix on each file's listing.  If preferred, you could run a quick java program on the txt file to clean this up (look for last '\' and remove everything before it).

[allthumbs]

Greetings

Is anybody willing to share their DVD's, CD mp3's and pdf's. I just signed up for a free uploading/downloading site called 35MG.COM. I've posted some cartoons there for now, but I think I'll post some music pdf's, mp3's that I have, although my collection is rather small.

For sign-up go to https://35mb.com/


If you need something specifically you can e-mail me and if I have it, I'll upload it to the site.

You can access my files at  https://download.35mb.com/allthumbs/


Cheers

[musik_man]

I have 21GB of music.  Out of that I'd estimate 18-19 gigs are classical.  The bitrates vary from file to file.

There's tons on p2p and classic.manual.ru Not really legal, though.

[musik_man]

kwtam, do you listen to Orchestral music, or just piano?

[kwtam338]

Hi Musik_Man

I listen to piano only (I have a set of Karajan Beethoven Symphonies but I still haven't finished it). I suppose I have yet to develop a love for classical music other than piano.

The emotional impact of good piano music on me is so great ... I sometimes break into tears when I feel that I understand what the composer/performer is trying to tell. Same when I find a piece of music interpreted in an exceptionally good way. I wonder if you guys feel the same?

I remember last year when my 12-year-old son prepared for his ABRSM grade 8, he worked on the Beethoven Sonata Op 2 No 1 1st movement. I heard him play at least 100 times, somtimes sitting beside him, sometimes doing some of my own things. The more I heard it, the more I came to appreciate the music and finally, I had to stay away when he practiced, because there was no way for me not to pay the fullest attention. You know the feeling of being astonished by the greatness of good music ... Very glad that we still have people like you guys to pass the tradition on.

I have directory with almost 18.000 scores (not only piano). Most are in PDF, but a few are in TIFF. If anyone needs something special and have some great mp3 piano music in return, PM me. I only have scores and that's difficult to fill my ipod with
