Ninety-One Thousand

Listened to my 91,000th iTunes track. Turned out to be John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers singing “Sitting In The Rain” from The Mono Singles Collection 1964-1968 — which is a great collection.

Doing a little math, I see that this song stands at the peak of a pile of 582.27 GB of data, representing 244 days, 19 hours, 37 minutes, and 45 seconds of playing time, if all the items listened to so far were laid end-to-end along the “t” axis. Which leaves 81,535 items (more or less; see last post) remaining unheard, totaling over 515 GB of data lasting more than 233 days. Like sand through the hourglass.
