Get a Touch, they're sex compressed into a small device.

I need space not a fancy UI though, my music collection stands at 50Gb now and its only growing, i like to have most/all of my music around with me and a touch would never allow that

Oh well i'm gonna start looking for bargain 160's now though

32GB is a lot of music though to be fair, taking the average size of an MP3 into account and having videos on there too, you're still looking at about 50-60,000 MP3s, 80,000 if you solely used it for music. Would you really get through all those quick enough to get bored and need more?

LeperousDust · 22-04-2008, 00:11

what!??! 60,000 songs? how small are your files?
32 * 1024 (this is even rounding up) / 4mb per track = 8192, and i'm being generous.

I've got 10,000 tracks now, 32Gb just doesn't cut it, its not about getting bored, its about having something when i want it. I tried swapping music about on my 30Gb iPod once you get to a certain size its actually even more of a pain, i'd rather only have to swap and keep track of 4/8Gb nano if i wanted to start playing the swap game...

With the 160Gb i've got about 39k tracks room to play with, giving me room for my collection to triple in size

You're right, WikiAnswer says 80,000 for some reason

I reckon they added a 0

I haz 6089 tracks in my Winamp and they take up 34Gb. Hence why my 40Gb iPod is rapidly running out of space.

Somebody there failed maths

A factor of 10 out, it sounds like the claims manufactuers give with MP3 players: "1 Million songs*"

*A 10Kbs...

That's what I thought, until I went to the Apple shop and used the touch for 5 minutes.

I would have bought one there and then if it hadn't been sold out.

They're absolute ****ing sex with a screen
