  1. Yeah it is nice, I just remembered that whole summer/year. 360 starting, my senior year of high school, MJ's passing... has it really been 4 years!?!? I feel old
  2. And in February of this year:

    The 25 billionth song, “Monkey Drums” (Goksel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch, was purchased by Phillip Lüpke from Germany. As the downloader of the 25 billionth song, Phillip will receive a €10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
  3. I wonder if that will be true at all. Not the gift, but the number itself. I doubt they keep record of every single song they've sold, and if so, there are songs sold each minute, each second I'd dare to say... Oh well, nice for Mr. Lüpke anyway

  6. 541 U2 albums? Lol, where are they all hiding? I deleted all of my bootlegs from iTunes not long ago. If I want to listen to one, I'll import it and delete it again when I've finished. Rarely listen to bootlegs because I'm not in a U2 phase, mainly do it for the BRT.

    HOLY F***

    I need to do this but it's probably half of yours... and I thought mine was a lot
  9. So that's where the demo tapes for Songs Of Ascent and this new album have been hiding. On Sergio's iTunes!!!
  10. To be honest, I must say that a LOT of that material is live stuff - maybe a good 40 or even 50% of all these songs.

    Anyway, all music I own is legal - and I'm well proud of it. Ahd most of it, I own in physical format
  11. Physical format is still far ahead of digital in my mind. Not only is it great to have something in your hands and a collection you can feel, but it's also much more affordable (depending on what you're buying). I always bang on about how I pick up albums on Amazon for £1.27 plus postage. That's far cheaper than iTunes or any other music store and I can rip it in a higher quality. I rarely listen to a physical item, but I appreciate my collection and love looking through the inserts.
  12. Making the switch to Google music. So far so decent. Throwing everything up into the cloud now. This could be me on Android for good it seems.
