A Closer Look At My MP3 Collection

I listen to a wide variety of music which means I have a pretty large collection of MP3's. All nicely organized in folders by artist name, then inside each artist folder is a folder for each album. I decided to see how large my collection actually is and the results are a total of 9263 files, in 883 folders, taking up a total of 46.5 gigabytes of space. Now this is only complete albums, I have several different folders filled with random individual songs I have downloaded, and I have not finished converting my 300+ CD collection to MP3's yet. I think I only made it to the letter J.

Anyway, I was perusing through my collection and realized I have no idea why I have some of these albums. So after a closer inspection, I would like to share some of the good, bad, and absolutely embarrassing things I found in there. Now some of these could be put in multiple categories, but I will only list them in one.

Let the fun begin...

I have no memory of getting these:

1. 3 Inches of Blood (yep, 3 Inches is the perfect amount of blood for a band name.)
2. Earshot
   
3. Fozzy (I thought it may be the Muppets, but no.)
4. Jamie Cullum (I am guessing this was for John.)
   
5. Lollipop Lust Kill (Your guess is as good as mine.)
   
6. No One
7. Redline
8. SkyCameFalling
   
9. Soilwork
   
10. TV on the Radio

Got these for other people, but I apparently saved them even though I would never listen to them:

1. Action Figure Party
2. Ben Lee
3. David Gilmour
4. Derek Trucks Band
5. Hot Hot Heat
6. The John Butler Trio
7. The Nightwatchman
8. The Who (Sorry, not a fan, so sue me.)
   

Now these are just embarrassing:

1. Insane Clown Posse (I am so ashamed of myself right now.)
2. Lifehouse (Great, the musical equivalent of a chick flick.)
   
3. Weird Al Yankovic (He changes the words to songs, clever.)
   

Stuff I wouldn't normally listen to but surprisingly do:

1. Fiona Apple
2. Phantom Planet
   
3. Say Anything
   

And last, stuff I really like but always forget to listen to:

1. Alkaline Trio
   
2. Boy Hits Car
3. The Sword
