We've had some discussion lately about iPods and stuff like that latley, with some people mentioning the size of their collections. How much digital music do all of you have? How much of that is the Dead? What do you keep it on?
I have a 160GB Seagate external that is about 90GB full (26 is Dead and JGB), so I'm in pretty good shape storage wise. My Creative MP3 player is only 80GB so i have to make a few cuts for that.

I got almost nothing digital. When I dl a show, I (semi) immediately burn it to discs. Later, if I want to listen to it on the computer, I'll rip it from my disc. HDs crash waaaaaay too frequently for me to trust my stuff to just a HD. I need a hard copy somewhere.
Plus, having a nice bookcase filled with discs is cool to me. I like to file, print out cool labels, have a collection. Tangibility is a big thing for me.

200G external that's half full, and a 160G iPod that's half full as well, and I'm not even close to loading my collection into it. Just randomly picking shows and tossing them in, and putting the "important stuff" on the external.

I filled up three of those big Case Logic notebooks before I went digital. Now I'm on my second 250 gig removable hard drive.
About half is Dead/Jerry related. I have every soundboard in circulation from 1977 (thanks to Lossless Legs). After the Grateful Dead, the next band I have a lot of is Allman Brothers (Duane era), and then probably Phish, Tony Rice, Little Feat, Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks, Townes Van Zandt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Buddy Guy...
My favorite stuff gets burned and stored in a case with cover art as well as on my hard drive.

Yes. No mp3 - Only lossless files in .flac or .shn. Although they're all legally traded recordings...not really "bootlegs".
It's a private torrent site focusing mainly on the Grateful Dead. One of the best around (along with Jerome's Place and etree). They do different projects and seed every show in a certain time period over the course of a month or two. For example, they have a Grateful Dead '78 project and a Miles Davis '60-'69 project going right now.
