music tag

Total music files on my computer????

I have my music as a collection of big b in one folder with some 80 songs . then an english and western folder with around 1750 songs including 60+ full album and includes mostly everything from country to pop to rock n roll to blues to mordern rock . then there is folder of kishore da with around 500 songs of the genius . after that i have a hindi and indian folder with bhajans , pop, classical , oldoes , films and ghazals( 200+from jagjit and chitra including the full albums of mirza ghalib ) . after that there is this folder on world music having basically trance and lounge and a few folk from different european countries(about 50 albums in all) . and finally a collection i am very proud of THE KING . yeah i got 20 full albums of the king of rock n roll , non other than ELVIS . so as an answer to the question would be around 6000+ and surely it takes a lots of space on the hard disk but i keep them at low frequency as i only listen on pc. so it takes about 5 gb.

The last CD that I bought ?

Hmm... do I still need to buy a cd??? i generally listen on pc so i generally download or listen online. well the last thing i downloaded was Rang De Basanti .( i am a hugh fan of a.r. rehman . i need to have his songs . i am looking for someone who could guide me to his music in south after all we are deprieved of what he scores down south . maybe i wudnt understand what the singers are singing but still i wud love to hear to them.)

Songs playing right now?

humm ... right now it is banwaraa mann from "hazaron khwaishien aisi"
then kissin cousins = elvis
yeha_noha_(wishes_of_happiness__and__prosperity) = sacred spirit
hum apne dil ka afsana = moview"actress" released in 1948
aanewalaa pal jaanewalaa hai ..... kishore da.
mora saiyan ...fuzon
etc... wagarah wagarah


Five songs which I listen a lot or which mean a lot to me...

well just telling 5 is impossible if i include songs by kishoreji and the ever so great pancham da or even songs older than them say of old hindi movies. so please let me exclude those.

• I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky ( well that was the first english song which i actually understood the lyrics of when i heard at a very young age).
• summer of '69 by bryan adams . this guy is great and i dunno y when i heard it i just wanted to keep listen ing to it and that is what i do.
• american pie - don mclean .. this song was a tribute of the singer to his music partner who died in a plane crash and he refers that day in the song as "the day the music had died " and this is by far the best tribute ever given according to me.
  
• Dil se by a.r.rehman rates as one of the most amazing songs of the mordern Indian cinema. it really makes my mind wander.

• this is where i belong by boyzone also comes as a best because this is the first band i really adored . actually i love each and every song of the album of the same name , i used to spend hours just listening to their songs as a kid.

i am so sorry to have not been able to include blowing in the wind or jamaican farewell or last christmas or or or well the list has to be endless...
