In fact there's a lot of jazz on it too (about 1/4 of the total). But either way, it's all a lot more acoustic than modern rock etc.

I'm amazed how little space my stuff takes up!

Looking at the table of various artist stats, it does suggest that jazz, blues and classical are amongst the smallest sets of files. Of course they could have less tracks but the track and runtime data doesn't really back that up. Music content complexity is therefore most likely the reason.

So, it would seem that material type and age of album do have some bearing on likely HDD usage along with file type and resolution which are more obvious.

Do we get a prize for perhaps the most visual thread here wink
