“The World’s Greatest Music Collection” is up for auction on Ebay. While the name may be very subjective and the premise alone could spark pages of debate on blogs like… oh, I dunno… say, Superstarcastic.com, it is a pretty impressive collection of LPs and CDs (what, no cassettes or 8-tracks or Reel-to-Reels?).
On the collection’s website, current owner, Paul Mawhinney, claims that there are 3 million records (45s, 78s, EPs and LPs) and 300,000 CDs spanning all genres.
By Apple’s advertised estimations, it would take 150 160 GB iPods to store the touted 6 million songs available in this auction. That would cost you $52,350 before tax and shipping. Which is nothing really if you can afford $3 million in recorded materials. If you can hack that, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll currently be the only bidder.

That also assumes you have a USB turntable. And the time to upload everything to a computer (and, I guess, a gigantic hard drive). But who needs a job when you have 6 million songs?
