I did have more, but after selling many of my Bowie CDs and ripping everything to MP3, I released that I didn't listen to half of it. So I've deleted all remixes, bsides and live tracks I didn't like. It was cathartic
The remixes were things such as most of the Little Wonder, Real Cool World & I'm Afraid Of Americans remixes. Loads of guff I could do without.
The b-sides were things like Funhouse, Girls, Don't Let Me Down' Indonesian, Shaking All Over, Needles On The Beach various edits / versions, No One Calls, Love Missile F1.
Bowie has done some excellent b-sides in recent years
I don't use iTunes that much and I don't own an ipod yet but I have The Gentleman's entire official studio discography, plus some perf recordings, a fair amount of comps, and a few boots on my Windows Media Player. That's a lotta Bowie!

That's something I've been tailoring a bit over the last year. I've got just about all his stuff on CD- but it's a matter of sorting through it all now to find the "proper" versions.
A good example would be the best mix of Ziggy.
Another would be sorting out lower quality Ryko bonus tracks I got from BowieAudio, and replacing them with the Bonus tracks ripped from the actual CDs as I purchase them all.
It's looks like I've got about 1200 tracks in iTunes (about because I guessed at the number of cover versions to subtract).
Out of that I listen to more of his contemporary stuff...
They need a hammer smashing them imo. Get out your washboard and teach your children these songs rather than sitting there like a zombie nodding your head.
Mine's nearly 3 years old and is only 4gb, that's 1,000 song capacity. Out of that there are 226 Bowie tunes on it. I have tonnes of Bowie stuff that isn't on it. Moz is in second place at 100 songs. I had to remove some o fhis recently to make room. Really I should get a bigger capacity player but I only have this for emergency cases, that is when I don't want to talk to someone or as a stress reliever when in traffic or summat so there's no point buying another one. I like lying on the bed listening to a CD much more.
Funny you should ask - I never use iTunes or my mp3 player at all. That is, I've only ever used the latter to make a horrible concert recording (64kb/s and mono! Stranger would cry blood :D) but recently uploaded a couple songs to it from the 'puter in case of emergency (read; extreme boredom). The only thing Bowie I had readily available (i.e. not on the external hard drive or needing to be ripped from CDs) was the Never Let me Down extended dance remix (thanks P-Lo!) which I happen to quite love.
