Reston (VA) - Approximately three gigabytes of storage is taken up with MP3 files on the average PC in the US, according to a new report from Comscore.

This makes MP3 the most common file type on American PCs, says Comscore, followed distantly by Microsoft Word. The report said the average PC had around 197 Word files, as well as 100 PDF files, 77 Microsoft Excel files, and 36 Windows Media files.

Wow, the average PC doesn't have many files.

I've got nearly 1500 mp3 files, and those are mostly from games or programs I've installed. My music I keep in ogg files, of which I have over 20,000, ripped from lossless sources.

and also 0 word documents, 0 PDFs, 0 Excel files, if they call AVIs 'Windows Media Files' I'll have a good 500 of of those.
