Just listened to my 100,000th unique iTunes track, the plaintive “I Wonder Where You Are Tonight” by The Louvin Brothers, appearing here on their collection Close Harmony. Preceding that song was the Argentine rock band Bersuit Vergarabat’s “Fisurar” (from La Argentinidad Al Palo), and next up is “Blood and Sand” by Pigface, from the album Welcome To Mexico… Asshole.
100,000 unique tracks comprises 693.83 GB of data, with a total duration of 301 days, 17 hours, 53 minutes, and 4 seconds (not accounting for multiple plays). My iTunes collection still has 87,903 items left unplayed — ~6,500 more tracks than the last milestone, due mostly to continued downloading of old radio shows from Archive.org inter alia. The unplayed tracks take up 672.05 GB of data (↑ 110GB) with a playing time of 457 days, 14 hours, 37 minutes, and 30 seconds (↑ 111 days; radio shows are long). We are far below the halfway point in terms of total duration now…
I’ll prepare a more detailed analysis, though I may need to do that in phases.
