Damn, may I ask how big your entire library is? At those sizes, you can store more music than I'll ever need in a couple of gbs.

Everything filed under "Chiptune", excluding the AT3 and MAB files which are effectively general purpose music formats, comes to 1.14 GB for 4211 items totaling 158:50:29. There are a lot of duplicates in there, because for a lot of these items it's more trouble to hunt down a replacement copy than it is to store a backup.

The catch, of course, is that it's all retro videogame music from bleep to bloop.
