With the talk of music streaming/ownership, spotify, bandcamp, etc...
How big is everyone's music libraries? I recently moved my entire collection from an old hard drive to a SATA SSD and just went past 400GB with over 80% of my library being FLAC from ripped CDs, Bandcamp downloads, qobuz purchases, OTOTOY purchases, piracy, etc.
The total size might be a little bigger than what the data shows because I also keep high res jpgs of all my album art (usually a minimum if 1000x1000, but I'll go as high as 5000x5000 if available.)
(Also gentle reminder to keep backups of you libraries!!!)
$ beet stats
Tracks: 16259
Total time: 7.3 weeks
Approximate total size: 426.0 GiB
Artists: 828
Albums: 1464
Album artists: 451
Probably about ~85-90% FLAC, for my phone I transcode everything to 160k Opus. Works really well, mashes everything down to < 100 GB.
on the topic of backups, though… I don't really have the money/space to make a local backup system that's meaningfully more resilient than the hard disk in my computer. I'm not too worried about it; most of the stuff I have that would be really hard to replace are rips of CDs I have in a box around here somewhere.
are there any good cloud storage services for power users? I'd like something that I can just mount as a CIFS drive or something on my computer without having to use some godforsaken App.
