[Vision2020] Any vinyl audiophiles out there?

[Paul Rumelhart]

I wish I could help you.  Just for the curious, how much room does 
17,467 albums take up of physical space?  I was going to suggest ripping 
them to your computer, but by my calculations (assuming that an album is 
roughly equal to a CD in size) it would take over 10 terabytes of disk 
space for the raw .wav files.  Or about 1 terabyte for mp3 files.  Not 
completely out of the question (my computer right now has about a 
terabyte of space), but that's a lot of time ripping albums to disk.  On 
the plus side, you could fit them all on two hard disks, for a total 
physical space usage of about the size of two grilled cheese sandwiches.

It would also take somebody just under 4 1/2 years to listen to them 
all, assuming 45 minutes an album and 8 hour days and no time off for 
weekends or holidays.
