So, here are the posts:
Blog 1: Music snobs
Look at your music library – records, CDs, iTunes. How many albums do you have on each? How many hours on iTunes? Do you love any albums so much you have purchased them in multiple formats?

How many pairs do you have? Breakdown into dressy, sporty, casual. Post a photo of your favourite pair and say why.
Blog 3: Look at me
How many photos of you are there on Facebook? (Tagged – it shows when you go to your profile). Post one – not the one that makes you hottest, but one that shows you having the most fun.
Blog 4: Drink up

How many pot plants (of a legal nature) do you have? What are they? How many are healthy? If yours are thriving – what is your secret?
Blog 11: Bookworm
How many books do you own? How many library books do you have out? Any collections of authors (e.g. I own 27 Agatha Christie books). How many are currently living by your bed?
Blog 12: Collection
Is there something you are a collector of? What is it? Stamps? My Little Ponies? Tea pots? Power tools? How many do you have? How did you get started?
So I guess today's about music.
Look at your music library – records, CDs, iTunes. How many albums do you have on each? How many hours on iTunes? Do you love any albums so much you have purchased them in multiple formats?
According to iTunes, I have 2780 songs, which total 7 days, 15 hours, 21 minutes and 20 seconds. It's really interesting that I have that much music; I don't even have ONE song on my iPhone. I know it seems silly, but I just...don't listen to music on my phone. I think part of it is that I have 12.45 GB and only 32GB on my phone, and part because at work I tend to listen to podcasts.
My fav podcast is Keith and the Girl, and I've just recently started the archive from the beginning, so I've got around about 1200 shows to get through. Luckily, I get quite a bit of time to listen when I'm going to and from uni and work, and when I go for my runs at night. I'd recommend Keith and the Girl to anyone who isn't too PC and is willing to laugh at inappropriate things. They're not overly PC (and sometimes, downright offense to some people), but that's why I love them.
I actually thought today on my run that I'd load some music onto my phone, and start listening to that when I run. I thought it might make a good change, and help keep me motivated to keep running. God knows I need the motivation.
Anyway, back to the real questions - apart from iTunes, I don't really have music anywhere else. I don't buy CD's anymore. The first CD I ever bought with my own money was Drops of Jupiter by Train. The last one was Rasputina. I love them, it's very alternative, and not the usual pop/rock that I listen to.
If I find an artist I really love, I'll buy the whole (though iTunes or directly from their website). Otherwise, I'm quite content purchasing single songs, though I haven't done so in ages. To be honest, most of the music I listen to is accidental listening on the radio in the car. If I do make an effort to listen to music, I love YouTube; watching the video at the same time is cool. And you always get on one of those crazy rabbit holes on YouTube where you somehow always end up watching funny cats.
And on that note, I'm off to watch my favorite song right now, Scars by Allison Iraheta
