CD's or Downloaded?
Who cares?

How 'bout a poll on the size of your porn folder? ;)

Both, CD's and downloads. Amazon has some decent collections on sale for a few bucks every now and then.

I am a digital packrat (I usually don't delete anything) and accumulated over 1TB of random porn vids and pics. I deleted almost all of it since I was running out of space.

here is from a few months ago,

deleted a bit,

And here it is today. Btw, my J Drive died a little after that pic was taken.

My entire CD collection is on my computer. Well over 10GB (I think it is around 30). I have a few tracks I have downloaded to fill in what I don't have on CD.

In general, unless I save 50% or more I prefer getting a CD to the immediate gratification of downloading.

I was just buying a another drive when I was out of space, but now I am out of space physically in the PC unless I purchase a 5 in 3 SATA hotswap bay so I can squeeze a few more drives in there since I don't really care for having so many externals on the machine.

I have over 200GB of music but I mostly use FLAC files and they are large.
I love music (obviously) and have my pc hooked up to a top hifi so I haven't actually put a cd on for years now. I just store them in a cupboard.:)
