How many songs are on your Ipod or MP3 device?

It'd be interesting to see a study asking that question of a wide range of folks and charting the average age of those who answer like you and those who answer otherwise.

First of all, I turn 23 in a Month.

I would say about 90% of the 1349 songs on my iPhone are legal. Quite a few have been purchased through the iTunes store, and the rest are old CDs I have/had. I only illegally download songs when they're not in the iTunes store, as about 99% of illegally downloaded songs don't match the audio quality of iTunes AAC's.

I realize I'm in the minority of people my age, but I feel that I should support artists whom I find add something to the fabric of American musical culture.

How about this question: How many of your songs were procured through legal channels (i.e., NOT downloaded via torrent or some other website/method)?

I used to download songs from Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, etc. back in my "rebellious" college days. I don't really, anymore. Most of my music comes from CDs purchased at used record stores, and via iTunes. The exception to that is if I am looking for a song or album that is not commercially available in the U.S. In that case, I will still download from illegal sources simply because there isn't a way to procure them here (other than going through some ridiculous special ordering process at a store and paying 3-4x the price of the album for doing so).

613 songs, not sure where most of them came from, or why I still have them. But they get me through most work days, nonetheless.

11,000 or so. And depending on the notion of "legality," I'd say 90 percent are "certainly legal."

[Dom Heffner]

1700 songs and videos. The videos are sort of an addiciton. I think I'm one of the last remaining people on earth who considers the video a cool art form. I hook the ipod up to a screen enlarger, set it on my treadmill and watch music videos.

Love it.

I have over 7,000 most copied from my CDs and some bought from Itunes.

Can I just take the Fifth now, or do I have to wait for the trial?

Anyone who doesn't respond... well, we'll know what they're up to.

I'd say about 90% legal. Like the others, the "illegal" ones are not commercially available via iTunes or whatnot... if they were, I'd be paying for them.

[Ltlabner]

Wow..I'm a real loser. I only have 300 songs or so.

And I payed for nearly all of them. The ones I didn't pay for were on CD's borrowed from friends.

[Dracodave]

2,000+. I love me some music.

Everything in my Library was purchased from iTunes or is from a CD. However, all of my Classic Rock comes from a friend's iTunes who uses Limewire along with his CD collection...

Maybe a couple hundred on the I-pod not sure as it seems to have gotten misplaced in between moving between apts. But i own around 600+ cd's but just haven't had the patients or time to sit down and add music to the I-pod .
