Media Overload
I was looking through some old blog posts and noticed something either remarkable or completely pathetic. I am unsure which it is.
In a blog post dated May 7, 2007 I mentioned that my current iTunes Library was holding at the following levels:
3728 Songs (12-days 13-hours 37-mins 30-sec | 7.69Gb)
33 Movies (03-hours 13-mins 24-sec | 2.01Gb)
44 TV Shows (01-day 07-hours 50-mins 32-sec | 20.32Gb)
447 Podcasts (12-days 16-hours 59-mins 45-sec | 15.03Gb
10 Audiobooks (21-hours 03-mins 25-sec | 289.5Mb)
Noticing the date was exactly 2 years ago, and being the curious mind that I am, I went to iTunes to see what has happened in the past 2 years. The results are as follows.
6002 Songs (19-days 18-hours 29-mins 51-sec | 34.47Gb)
76 Movies (02-days 17-hours 32-mins 45-sec | 33.78Gb)
131 TV Shows (03-days 16-hours 05-mins 10-sec | 63.36Gb)
839 Podcasts (24-days 03-hours 21-mins 14-sec | 34.77Gb
71 Audiobooks (14-days 09-hours 08-mins 31-sec | 4.64Gb)
It’s astonishing how large my library has grown in only 730 days. If my math is correct, and there is a somewhat likely possibility that it is not:
Music has increased 61%
Movies have increased 133%
TV Shows have increased 197%
Podcasts have increased 87% (not taking into account the fact that I regularly delete all old, outdated podcasts to free space)
Audiobooks have increased 610%
Where did all that media come from? I suppose one good thing to see is that my audiobook content has had the most drastic increase, and therefore I am obviously reading more. It’s just amazing, though, when you see the actual numbers in front of you.

You never cease to amaze me. But no chiding from me. I’m quite happy that the audiobooks had the biggest increase. I’m proud of you.
