The Downside of Music Catalog Software
So I've used iTunes for a long time. Here is what iTunes is telling me these days:
- I have 22,709 files in my library (a few Pixar videos, a few Rocketboom vidcasts, and the rest are audio files)
- 21,617 have no "Rating" (but I'm working on that)
- 18,871 have an average bit rate higher than 128kbps (much of my encoding is VBR)
- 12,740 have never been played through iTunes or an iPod (at least an iPod that updates your iTunes library on play count and rating metadata)
- 1,857 have no "Genre" metadata
- 446 are "Protected"
- Of those, 39 are free downloads of the 9-11 Commission. Which means that I've bought roughly 407 DRM-laden music files from Apple, not counting to occasional free weekly download.
- 2,363 different albums
- 121 tracks have no "Album" affiliation
- 779 different artists
- All of my tracks at least have "Artist" information
- I have too much music to actually listen to even a fair percentage of it
