Well over 1 million songs! |
Getting a solid count is taking longer than I originally expected, but I can now definitely say that there are over 1 million songs on the LMA. In fact, I've found over 1 million tracks with only 60,000 shows checked!
Note that technically I'm measuring tracks, not songs. Some tracks may be filler (intro, tuning, inter-song banter) rather than actual songs. Nevertheless, given that I've only processed about 2/3 of the shows on the Archive, I feel pretty comfortable stating that there are well over 1 million actual songs here!
I've paused the counting because of reports that the Archive is having access problems today, I may resume later, but my list of concerts is getting more out-of-date by the day, so no guarantees. I'll offer copies of my scripts to the Archive after I clean them up a bit.
p.s. the exact numbers so far: 1045333 tracks in 62576 shows

Re: Well over 1 million songs! |
I ran some stats here a few days ago:
4,630 bands
93,293 shows (there's a few more now)
1,505,999 tracks
16 tracks per show (avg.)
we are adding approximately 1,100 shows per month
we should hit 100,000 shows early October.
100000 by 10-01-11 (lots of zeros and ones...very computeresque!)

Hire me anyway! :) |
Well, darn, you beat me to it. Guess it was probably a little easier when you weren't sitting behind a consumer-grade DSL modem shared by the rest of your family.
I'm glad to see the numbers, but a little disappointed because I hoped to impress enough folks at the Archive that I could then say, "hey, check out my resume, I know big systems and I'd love to work there," and almost be guaranteed a response of
some sort. (I did send in my resume a few months ago, but heard nothing back.)
What the heck, I'll say it anyway. Check out my resume! I know big systems (my last job was at ask.com), and I'd love to work there! :)

Re: Well over 1 million songs! |
I would be interested too in how much physical computer data space those take up ... I know the petaboxs are mirrored and redundant, but all that live lossless music must be a LOT of disk-space!
