Ninety-Six Thousand (96,000)

Just listened to my 96,000th unique iTunes track, a classic version of “Harlem Nocturne”, by the incomparable Johnny Otis, from a collection of different Harlem Nocturnes. This compelling instrumental — in almost any version — is one of the all-time best songs ever.

This represents 626.67 GB of data, constituting 261 days, 14 hours, 22 minutes, and 44 seconds of playing time. Which leaves 77,924 items (and yes, a few more CDs in the mix) remaining unheard, totaling 486.53 GB of data lasting 220 days, 8 hours, 126 minutes, and 35 seconds.
