I’m well past the half way point of importing all my CD’s back onto my computer, after starting fresh a little over a week ago. Over 1130 songs (not that impressive, I know.) That converts to 4.2Gb or 3.2 days worth of music, but I haven’t been importing CD’s non-stop the way I was the fist couple of days. In fact, I’ve been quite selective the last few—importing only worthy songs from rarely listened to discs.

I’ve been quite dilligent at rating the music that’s coming in too. As of this writting (keeping in mind my rating system that requires at least three stars for a song to get any air-time,) only 437 tunes rank high enough to get played—that’s only 39%. Just 10% of those songs were ranked high enough that I would pay money just for the song and only two songs have five stars (U2′s One being the other.)

As far as artists go the following are of note, having the highest number of three star or higher tunes (keep in mind that this is only representative of my music collection and I don’t have everything I want:) Vigilantes of Love 10, Barenaked Ladies and Sting have 12, The Police with 13, The Tragically Hip have 14, Elvis Costello has 15, U2 has 17, The Beatles and Neil Young with 19, The Choir have 29, Midnight Oil 47. Of those, the Choir, Oils and U2 each have four four star songs, accounting for over a quarter of the “Excellent” music in my collection.

And now that you have the statistics, go ahead and distort them for your own purposes.
