Looks more like eighteen-thousand, two-hundred and one to me, but maybe I'm overlooking something?

Last I saw any stats, it was growing by about a thousand / month, so I expect it'll break twenty sometime in January. Might be as early as the end of the year, but I'm not holding my breath. :)

Ah, well, I was just going by the text at the top of the main page, where it says:

"Welcome to the Live Music Archive 18,204 shows (766 artists)"

I think the ID#s may be shared with films and other stuff that the Archive hosts.

I also noticed for the first time (dummy me) that the number of shows listed is a link, and if you click on it, it displays shows uploaded/month for the last year or so, and the number is well below 1000 (if you ignore the huge bump that represents the appearance of the Dead on the site). So I'm going to revise my guesstimate for when we'll pass 20,000 down to sometime in Feb.

The reason the ID #'s don't match the actual number of recordings in the collection is because when we delete a details page (for a replacement or an error of some sort) we don't recycle the ID #. Knowing this, you can estimate that there were issues with approximately 1800 items where the details page was pulled. DMB accounts for about 500 of those when they decided to pull their participation in the project.
