How big is your iTunes collection? Photos?
I thought it would be interesting to see how many files everyone had. If you want to go portable with an iPod you are limited by what can fit on the device. So... how much data do you have?
I'll get the party started...
iTunes: 5514 songs, 15.3 days, 24.85 GB
iPhoto: 2495 photos, 19 movies, 3.4 GB
Movies: 3.5 GB (from ~/Movies)
Once I really start organizing, archiving, and cataloging my movies I'd have better tabs on them. I don't have any DVD rips... these are all little web downloads and such.

Currently I'm using a 4Gb iPod mini, but hopefully upgrading to a 30Gb or 40Gb 5th gen in the summer so I can have all of my music with me.
Having only had a digital camera for a year, iPhoto is a bit lame, at a mere 592Mb for 546 photos. Don't keep any movie files after I have watched them - I only have a 30Gb drive in my iBook, so I don't have the space for keeping files after watching them. Darn I need a new computer with a bigger drive, 21Gb of music on a 30Gb (27Gb formatted) drive is a bit tight!
My music library is now standing at:
17715 songs 53.3 days, 81.15GB, sitting on an external hard drive. I buy a lot of CDs, and a lot of that music is stuff I owned at one point or another, but then lost, sold, gave away or just plain broke. Since I've moved country three times in four years, it's just easier for me to take stuff in digital format. That collection represents about seven years of music collecting in digital format. Some of the music I've owned before is just gone now.
my iPod Photo is 3395 songs, 10 days, 15.86. (I have a 30GB iPod, but my iTunes was giving trouble this week after I upgraded to 10.4.1 wiping out the library file and wiping my iPod... so I've been adding stuff as I go along.)
Photos: 675 photos 2Gbs.
Not much into watching movies on my laptop, that's the truth. I have about 50 DVDs though.
Movies: 155.13 GB

I wasn't explicit, but pr0n doesn't count. That should almost be a fourth category.
iPhoto: 1435 Photos
Movies is in a constant flux, can't be bothered to count my Movies/Series

believe it or not, it's not porn.
iTunes: 4,040 songs, 12.4 days, 19.95 GB
Free Songs - 79
iTMS - 531 total songs, 298 individual, 233 from buying albums
Remaining - purchased CDs
iPhoto: 1.090 pictures, 995.4 MB
My 20 GB iPod is not able to hold my entire music collection anymore, so I have to deselect songs I do not care about listening to so I will have songs I want to hear. I pretty much listen to one playlist with the iPod in shuffle (songs) mode. The playlist is my entire iTunes library minus non-music (audiobooks, iTrip stations, etc.).
21532 songs, 64.1 days, 190.40GB
I've spend almost 5 years ripping my entire CD collection. I started out at 192-320kbps MP3, but have begun (slowly but steadily) re-ripping most of my classical collection in Apple Lossless. About 40-45% of my collection is classical music, the rest is a wide blend of rock, pop, jazz, blues, electronic etc. and also a lot of film scores/soundtracks (some of which might also be classified as "classical", thus the total% of "classical" is above 50%). But even though my main focus is on classical music, I've still got a pretty decent collection of rock and other genre.
This project will never end...

Here is a link to a full size image (167KB) of my iTunes window (You can see the "composer playlists")
iPhoto...30 photos, maybe?
Movies...about a gig.
iPhoto: 8092 photos (all my own... my god
To be fair, thats 7973 photos and 119 movie-clips (from the digital camera)
I find it funny to look at the amount of photos takes, year-over-year:
2001: 43 (from christmas eve till newyears
2002: 1493
2003: 2688
2004: 1934
2005: 1934
continuing the trend this year, 2005 will yield 3868 photos... geez
All on my iPod Photo (60 GB) of course

Wow, you guys amaze me! I can't imagine having nearly as many songs. So, here is my modest collection. 1837 songs, or 8.76 GB. Of course because I don't have much hard drive space and only have a 10GB iPod, I have to be selective about what songs I upload.
Heck, I only have an original 5 GB iPod to cram my 62 GB into.
Here goes.
iTunes: 8623 songs, 26.7 days, 32.28 GB (all legal, mostly ripped from my CDs)
iPhoto: 5496 photos, 9.6 GB
(by year)
1999: 239
2000: 249
2001: 185
2002: 260
2003: 1629 (the year my son was born...)
2004: 1713
2005: 1249 (so far...)
I've got 10~15 hours of video, but the good stuff has mostly been burned to DVD. All of the source material is still on Digital8, so none of it on on my Mac right now.
2,903 Albums (2,903 Playlists)
0 Single Songs
iPhoto:
42 Books

I have a 20" Cinema Display too, but I never run iTunes fullscreen. I have the window sized "just right" to have some room for playlists and room for all the columns I care about in the song list area. I'll post a screenshot later if you're interested.
Only recently did I start making lots of playlists out of albums. And now I have tons of playlists, smart and normal. I remember when I started getting a scrollbar in the playlist window and how much that annoyed me. In fact it still annoys me in some ways. Can't wait til there are playlist groups so all my playlists won't take up so much space.

Yeah, do I second that or what! All of the albums I have are playlists so you can imagine how slow it is to scroll.
Playlist groups was actually a feature of SoundJam which...as most people know became iTunes. When I was working for Apple when they just bought out SoundJam I wrote up an Enhacement Request for playlist groups and the developer wrote back saying it is slated for a later version....five years later we might just see that feature!

Scroll... think about connecting as a shared server! I have over 100 playlists and when I connect to the machine with iTunes it takes forever to load the playlists and library contents. Granted, it may be due to the library size and not the number of playlists.
