i hate the sound of guitars

After Flasshe, Steve, and 125records:

This is on the home iTunes. I keep my iTunes music on external hard drives; the one at work has the same content, but different play counts. I’m about to go to a 4 hard drive model with classical/jazz on different drives, because the danged drives are almost full.

Total length: 70:08:08:26 (28095 songs)
I gotta say, including things-smaller-than-seconds is a confusing default degree of precision. I had resort to a calculator to check the order-of-magnitude. 30,0000 3-minute songs would only take 62.5 days to listen to, not 62 weeks, months, or years.

• ‘A’ Bomb in Wardour Street - The Jam
