Will having almost 10 Gigs of music on my PC slow it down a lot?

I have about 10 Gigs of MP3s on my PC right now for my iTunes library, and I was just wondering if that would slow the pc down a lot? I still have like 300+ Gigs free on my computer though, so should having that many MP3s make a difference? Thanks!SynysterFreak

If you put the MP3's under rot system you can bet your PC will get slow, in any other case: No

If you have a catalog system and don't have all files under the same catalog you shouldn't notice any diffrence of 1Gb or 40GB mp3's

I'm not exactly sure if I know what you mean.... Here's my situation. I downlaod my music off the web, and save the MP3s to my desktop. Then, I create a folder for the band and album to keep everything organized, and then stick that into a folder labled music on my desktop. I also have two gigs of music stored under my pc's default music section in an iTunes music folder. Is this what you meant? Will that slow it down? If it would help, I could take a few screen shots to show what I'm talking about.

And as you say, you make separate folders for each band you don't need to bother about your PC getting slow.

but 2GB with Mp3's under the same folder may take a while for a older PC to show.

I have very much music also, I always put name and make a diffrent folder for each CD, things is more easy to browse thru and the overall feel is better.

Yeah, I agree. It makes things so much easier to manage.

But I should be fine then, huh? Cuz I'm getting a new GPU soon, and I want to maximize my performance once I get it, so I just wanted to make sure that those mp3s weren't going to bottleneck my system.. I figure I'm gonna need EVERYTHING my computer can give me if I wanna run Crysis on very high. lol

Thanks for your help man!

as long as you keep your HDD defraged on a regular basis your computer wont slow down. filmography

Yeah... I judt defraged last night. I was dumb though... I hadn't done it since January... lol Now I have it scheduled for every week though.

^your files would still be out of order but nothing adverse would happen if thats what your wondering.

I didn't know there was that much unique SNES-related code to be had on a single hard drive. How many of them are translation-patched versions of the same game?NamelessPlayer
