- how much music do you want your MP3 player to store?

OK, after the discussion here i've decided to setup this poll to get some hard and fast idea of what the split between people who want to have ALL their huge music collection with them at all times and the people who want to have a few GB and just swap what's on their when they feel like it.

Anyway, it seemed a fairly definitive split down the middle hence only three options.

EDIT: It didn't like my poll because I wrote too much and now I can add one

 

I use a 1 gig stick attached to my w880i, although that fills up rather rapidly. If I was going to get a dedicated player, I'd try and get at least a 60gb player.

 

I use a Zen Stone for running/gym so thats 1 gig and I have a larger 20 gig player but only about 3 gigs is music. Don't really need any more than that

 

2gb nano.

 

damnit, this woud be better with the poll, I'll e-mail one of the admins and see what I can do

 

2Gig Zen Stone Plus...don't need anything bigger. 30Gig music collection, but my tastes have changed so much that I probably only listen to around a third of it (collection goes back to the depressing teen grunge/rock phase I went through - don't listen to any of that these days, but it seems silly to delete it all).

 

My 20gb iRiver brick holds my dimuitive music collection, i usually take that on the road or on holiday. But for my commute my 512 card in my k800 covers my needs, a couple of albums and space for some emergency photos. I generally only update it every week.

 

I like to use my 20gb iriver H320, hold various tunes on as well as random files other than music, as the device gets detected as a mass storage device and so is easy to connect from machine to machine without needing to install any drivers or software.
I would like the 40-60gb model.

*awaits for poll to show.

 

Post what options you want and I'll get a poll up

 

I still use my 5Gb Zen Micro.

I find there are certain tunes on my PC that just don't go well when I'm running or doing exercise or stuff, so 5Gb is all I need.

 

Cheers tadster

Opt 1: I want to have all my music with me all the time, gimme 500gb in my pocket!

Opt 2: I'm happy with a few GB, i'll just change the stuff on there if I'm bored with it

Opt 3: I've got a small capacity player now and I'm quite happy with it, although if they manage to fit 30gb into a nano sized package I'd get it.

Is that ok?

 

option 3 needed trimming, but it gets the gist accross

 

I've said it before, and i'll say it again. I want all of it. THE WHOLE LOT!

 

Thank ya kindly Tad

 

8GB Sansa e280 rocks my world. I can fit all my music on, with a little room left over.

Also, I would never buy an iPod (far too expensive, etc.) although I have to say, they do have a slick interface.

 

640k, because nobody will ever need more than 640k of memory..

 

It depends on the situation, but I mostly listen in the car, which is where I want it all
If however I'm out running, kiting, or rollerblading (for exercise only, I'm not an aggressive skater) then I'll take the 1GB shuffle.

 

Personally I would like a phone or secondary player that is minute (a shuffle sized device or just a micro-SD card port on a phone) and then a primary player that can be around the size of the original Ipods, which can hold all my music. I'm slowly ranking all my music with between 1 and 5 stars, so I tend to every so often gather up all the 2-5 star stuff and stick it on my Ipod, but given that that only takes a few gigs, I could happily stick that stuff (or just the very cream of it all) on a small player, and then stick my entire collection on a larger player.

Of course, so far there are no players that hold 300GB of music, so a 160GB Ipod is my best bet.

 

I have all of 4 GB of music, I'd never use a player with more than 8 or so GB of capacity. Even as it is, I'm having to blow the virtual dust off my less-frequently played files.
