I was so excited to schedule last Friday’s vocabulary for auto-publication that I neglected to note that I crossed another fictional milestone on Saturday, when I listened to my 107,000th unique iTunes track, a sad little number called “Atomic Watch” from a sad album given away to those who donated blood at this year’s Comic-Con, Tales From The Con 5.
And now the blah-blah stuff…. 107,000 unique tracks makes up 792.23 GB of data, with a total duration of 400 days, 23 hours, 9 minutes, and 12 seconds (ignoring multiple plays). Left unplayed in my iTunes collection at the moment of impactful milestone crossing were 84,472 songs, which is 796 less than were left to be heard at the 106k mark (thus 204 songs were added in the meantime — including the aforementioned Tales From The Con 5). The unplayed tracks comprise 605.41 GB of data (↓ 7.29 GB) with a playing time of 371 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 30 seconds (↓ 9.8 days).
To reach the 107,000th unique track, I listened to 1,245 songs (from track #106,000), which total 9.89 GB of data, and laid end-to-end comprise 10 days, 19 hours, 13 minutes, and 51 seconds of audio (or only about 2/3 of the time consumed by the previous one thousand songs).
56 days were required to listen to the last thousand songs (20 less than the previous 1k), meaning 17.86 new songs per day were heard. This significant increase (previously I listened to just over 13 songs per day) had a lot to do with listening to non-radio show tracks in the car, I’m guessing.
17.86 New Tracks Heard per Day
If we include the previously heard songs, we find that I heard 22.23 tracks per day.
22.23 Tracks Heard per Day
I am no longer promising further analysis, as I’m still owing the same for the 103Kth and 102Kth sets of iTunes songs.
