The image at the left is today's Aggregate Statistics Report from Giocoso. It shows that of the 16,796 recordings in my collection, I've played 16,713 of them since I started using Giocoso (or its prototype) in 2021. Lots of recordings I've played more than once, though, which is why the report shows I've played 19,501 recordings in total.
The key bit, however, is which recordings I haven't played: the 83 unplayed ones are detailed in the bottom half of the report: 19 of them last up to 2 hours and 64 of them last longer than 2 hours (I suspect quite a bit of Wagner and Verdi lie therein!) Let's say there's an average length of the unplayed recordings of 3 hours, then: 83 × 3 = 249 hours of total play-time. I could polish the lot off in just ten days, then, if I were to prop my eyes open with matchsticks and forget to eat, drink, shop or take exercise!
More realistically, if I pay attention to music for 5 hours a day, I can complete listening to my collection in 50 days. Make it 60. Call it three months for distractions... we come to the conclusion that I'll have listened to everything at least once by the beginning of December 2025, which is about what I predicted to myself when I first started recording my plays back in January 2021. This pleases me!
After that, I have 700GB of freshly-ripped but not-yet-catalogued music to add to the collection, playing it as I add it, to avoid the creation of another unplayed backlog. That's roughly another 1000 CDs... I'm going to stop buying new music at that point: I think I have quite enough to see me to the afterlife!
I mention all of this only as prelude to advising of the future release of version 3.32 of Giocoso which will contain a lot of code re-writes to tidy things up and make things (perhaps) slightly more efficient, but without adding any great new functionality. Currently planned for early September, but don't hold your breath!
