In this paper we present preliminary results from a study to understand how people use and manage personal digital music collections. We conducted a survey of a cross-section of a university community including students, faculty, and staff. Our preliminary findings show that the music collections in our sample follow an exponential distribution curve both in terms of number of songs and collection size in gigabytes. Over 50% of the participants in our survey owned more than one portable music player and many of these were Apple iPods (68%). A majority of respondents (82%) listened to music on their mobile player 2--3 times per week or more, but the frequency of synchronizing mobile devices was more evenly distributed across time.
