The question should be : How many LEGAL songs do you have ? .

100.000 ? 200.000 ? at 1 € each (or 1 dollar) i can't beleive it . Sorry .


I will be 34, been DJing since I was 16. I use to buy the 10 for the price of 1 for every member of my family for Columbia house, or whatever they were called, and have had subscriptions to Promo Only, Prime Cuts and X-Mix since god knows when every month and still pay over $100 a month in subscriptions. My majority of karaoke came from discs I bought from people that we retiring from it and buying download subscriptions. I can't even to think of the amount of money I have spent since I started collecting, that's why everything is backed up at least twice.
 
Justin Bieber doing Slipknot cover songs...oh man, that was priceless ROTFLMAO :D
 
I have about 500G video or musics.I deleted many.
 
glad ya liked that Aural .....


i buy too much stuff for my own head .....

i should stick more to just the songs that i need for events , of course collecting unknown stuff

and especially covers is great to do for cheap w/ the premium membership ......
 
@Cyder and anyone else with the grooveshark membership, you have to be connected to the internet to access the songs right? You cant download them and save them for later, correct?
 
you download them to your vdjcache which lives at user/documents/vdj / cache

they are drm and only play in the software

when you launch the software if you are connected to the internet it automatically

checks and refreshes your license so that they can be used

but they are on your C: ....

you can copy them to an external harddrive and they have to be refreshed on that drive also

You don't need to quote the post before you, I think we would have all understood who you were replying to. It's the same as you know who I'm talking about now... lol

It helps the thread look a lot cleaner that's all.
 
i have over 500 gig of tunes and deleted about 700 gig of tunes
 
I just checked, I have 120,000 Mp3's, 170,000 Karaoke & 10,000 Vidz and still counting. They r all different genres, a few duplicates. I am an Urban DJ, but I have do all types of events. Everything from Akon to ZZ Tops. I have about 1.5TB backed up X2 = 4.5TB.
 
Just ordered 400 more karaoke songs today, lol
 
I have about 2500 in my collection and a feature called NetSearch! I am growing it but really even out of 2500 songs I play probably 500-600 routinely and the rest are only here and there.

I guess the question is how much do you really need? Other than some requested songs that you may not have how much is enough? I think once you get over 5K its just a man thing to see how much you can get but not totally needed.
 
If i counted, It would be a crazy amount. I have more than 60,000 alone in my laptop . I also have 6 hard drives with more music.
 
Not sure exactly, over 7,000 CDs and about 2,000 DVDs. Really don't buy mp3s. Just a handful that were needed for a gig that were not available on CD. I have ripped as wave files about 40,000 tracks. To answer the other question...I have bought every single one of them over the decades.
 
20,000 mp3
2,000 videos (mostly mpg and mp4)
 
seriously i had the same question. do you guys always have the songs requested?
 
I presently carry to every gig, 55,000 Karaoke, 28,000 video, 126,000 mp3. I have 4TB and 1 500g internal drives. My karaoke is on a 1TB external. I hope to upgrade my computer this month to 8TB internal. I have paid for everything except a few things I have gotten from other DJs. I turned 59 today and have been playing for 43 years. I have two 20x10 storage units full of vinyl and CDs. At one time I was spending $1,100 a month on just music, not video. I had every subscription and every remix service. Up until three years ago, all I did was DJ, and made a great living doing it. I worked at one club for 23 years, until I quite to go to school to be a cosmetologist. That DJ money allowed me to buy this salon. Hopefully, I can keep it open long enough to make a living. I still make a living DJing 3 nights a week.

For me, 5000 or 10,000 songs is not enough. I play Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Hip Hop, Reggae, Reggaeton, Dance, Pop, Latin Rock, Disco, Bachata, Freestyle, Classics, Electronic, R&B, Party hits, Slow Songs, etc. To update all these genres, its alot of downloading every week. The more genres you play, the more songs you will have on your laptop. This is why the people who hire me are satisfied. I have almost every song they ask for.
 
Sorry City, I think I was drunk that night... I have that many (little) tracks because I exercise the delete button and only buy tracks I like, I was referring to some dj's I know who download and steal everything, I do think that is disrespectful to the people making the music, but I'm referring to underground music not pop, If that's someone's preference I have no problem with them stealing it, the less money big record companies get the better imo, but anyone who makes quality music because the love what they do deserves compensation for giving us choons to play and have a good time listening to.
