Yeah, I noticed and wanted to ask you “wow, that’s a lot of John Williams recordings… what do you have?” I did check my own (considerable, but not as large as yours) John Williams collection. When I typed in “John Williams”, I get results for 170 albums and 12-13 days long, and so I was wondering what the heck am I missing? My actual “John Williams” albums are fewer, because just typing in “John Williams”, the programs also list compilations such as AMAZING STORIES where Williams appears, plus even unrelated recordings by the guitarist John Williams. I have about 125 albums or 9 days of listening time where the composer “John Williams” is the “Album Artist”.

I don’t have any expansions, so that means less minutes there.

That, plus I sometimes (not always) combine two albums into one. When I have both an expanded album and the OST, or the identical album in two different masters, I often combine them in my collection under one “Main Album” (if necessary, the individual discs would then be tagged with the mastering or release information or whatever)

For example here is Presumed Innocent:
Disc 1 is the Varèse Deluxe Edition, Disc 2 is the OST. They are of course two different releases, but in my collection they take up one “album slot”.

That explains my above average album lengths.
