How much storage space do you need for your entire downloaded music library, that's the only concern I have about downloading music
Very much depends. I host the digital music collection for my entire family (6 people) all with very different tastes in music and very large music collections. According to Jellystat, I'm hosting roughly 52,000 tracks taking up just shy of 2 TB. I used to keep track of how many albums I had but I've long since lost track.
On average, a CD ripped to FLAC seems to run around 300MB. MP3 or OGG would generally be smaller (but with quality loss), dependent on the bitrate, call it 50MB - 200MB.
In short, a person hosting a normal sized personal music collection is unlikely to run into space issues.
Depends on how much music you want. I have about 3500 songs at the highest quality free YouTube will let me download songs at, and that comes to around 15GB.
I have around 12,000 tracks, 70GB.
it's not 2008 anymore. audio file storage space is not a concern, we have larger storage drives now
