I got like 30GB's. Classic Oldies... [70's Disco, Soul, Funk, Classic rock], [80's Retro, Dance, Rap, HipHop & smidgin of Metal/Rock], [90's Groove, Dance, Electronica, HardCore, Rap Soul RnB HipHop, Remixes], [2k+ Rap, HipHop, Rnb, some aggro rock, House music, Whitelabel Remixes, My own tracks]... and a buttload of Movie/TV Clip samples, BeatLoops....
...AND...
I gleeflully inherited a buncha Vinyl when my grand-father past away in '06 at the age of 87.
Among the gems I found in his collection was a boxed set of Herb Alpert and his Tijanua Brass Band. It's amazing how much has been sampled from them. I realized it when I gave it a listen all the way thru.
