too much?

I recently acquired 90gbs of music off a friend of mine, pushing my total music library to about 140gbs. iTunes tells me that I could listen to 88 days worth of music without ever hearing the same song twice. Imagine - almost 3 months of listening to music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and never hearing the same song twice. It boggles the mind.

But the downside is, I'm overwhelmed by my own collection now. Before, I knew almost every song that I had: if someone asked me if I had a song, I could tell them by memory, or if someone asked what was playing, I could usually tell them. But now I have no idea what's in my library.

It's weird how that happens. People are so attached to their music, and how it constructs their identity so now that I've got so much music that I didn't go to the effort of individually picking out and purchasing/downloading, I don't feel much of an attachment to it. Listening to the library on shuffle, I can tell when one of my own songs comes on, and I feel calmer than when some random thing comes up. So yeah, I guess I'll just have to deal. And spend about a year getting to know all these new artists.
