Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don’t know if that is small or large.

How big is your collection?

    Lmao.

    Mine is small, since I have a shit ton of physical media going back into the eighties

    So, only about 3 tb, most of which is music in lossless formats. But, I also purge video that I don’t watch at least yearly, so it could be bigger.

      If you care about it, you should make sure that you still have it, and not just useless plastic, and make backup copies (and / or upload it)… magnetic tapes and discs degrade quite fast, and even CDs and DVDs have a limited lifespan… vinyls will probably be fine, though if treated properly.

        I watch things fairly often, and so far, I haven’t lost anything that was oop before I could make a copy (which is why I go through them, even if it’s just background noise while I do other things). That’s the flow chart; pick the next one, check to see if it’s still available, if it isn’t either rip it or download it, then watch to verify the physical.

        But, thank you very much for looking out :) That’s a genuinely cool thing to do
