Closing in on the next 10k, I’ve just listened to my 109,000th unique iTunes track, a slightly better than usual offering from the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre, “The Solid Gold Zarf”, which aired in the fall of 1981.
109,000 unique tracks makes up 812.42 GB of data, with a total duration of 413 days, 22 hour, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds (ignoring multiple plays). Left unplayed in my iTunes collection at the moment of impactful milestone crossing were 82,464 songs, which is 988 less than last report (thus only 12 songs were added in the meantime). The unplayed tracks comprise 584.98 GB of data (↓ 11.5 GB) with a playing time of 339 days, 23 hours, 50 minutes, and 56 seconds (↓ 18.6 days).
To reach the 109,000th unique track, I listened to 1,515 songs (from track #108,000), which total 14.84 GB of data, and laid end-to-end comprise 20 days, 7 hours, 57 minutes, and 30 seconds of audio.
It took 102 days to listen to the last thousand songs (62 — almost 2.5 times — more than the previous 1k), meaning 9.8 new songs per day were heard. This is a significant rate drop (previously I listened to just under 24.4 songs per day). This is due to the fact that I was trying to create my Xmas CDs, which project I’m still working on
9.8 New Tracks Heard per Day
If we include the previously heard songs, we find that I heard 14.85 tracks per day.
14.85 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, though that promise recedes and may be broken soon.
