Does anyone have an iPod that holds 5,000 songs, and why?

[babylonsister]

Seems like a lot to weed through when you get sick of all that music. :eyes:
That's my sister's story and I'm/she's sticking to it; she had about 50 CDs available and her DH told her he was tired of hearing the same ole thing. Now the 5,000 song iPod will do the trick. :nopity:



:crazy: :crazy:

1. I have the 80GB iPod, it holds way more than 5000 songs.

Not that I have that many on there. I'm still working on converting my cd collect to mp3. It also holds videos, podcasts, photos, games and books. I love it.

13. Converting CD's to MP3?

Or just importing the CD into iTunes?

That can be tedious, I did a bunch of them. Not too bad if iTunes recognizes the CD. If not, you get to enter the track names and CD name etc.

Now I'm converting a bunch of vinyl to .wav and recording to CD's to import to iTunes. That can be a slow process.

I also have imported a few "books on CD" that I checked out of the library. That's good for long trips.

15. Just importing into iTunes, I mis-typed.

Yeah, most of the time it's fine. But I have a lot of smaller, indie albums and mix cds that don't have the information available. So that gets very tedious. Some of the stuff I don't even listen to but I want to get it all backed up so I can put the cds in storage. I still have about 60% of my collection left to do. Blah! Then it's on to organizing my photos. ARGH!

2. i have the 30gb now

my 20gb died... i don't really know how many songs it holds... but it does the job, i dont get sick of my choices, but dont think there are too many either.

3. I have the 30 GB iPod, holds 7500 songs.

I have loaded about 2700 songs so far, since Christmas. I love it. You can listen for days and never hear the same song twice. It's like having my own eclectic radio station with me. Since I travel frequently, it helps on long car rides.

5. Wow. Thanks for the info. I hope you aren't wearing the ear pods.

I also scored with the package to make it compatible with my car but haven't gotten there yet.
What fun and enjoy! I had no clue anyone would need so many songs, but they're 'your' songs, and
I understand completely.

4. I use my 80 Gig for various things.

I have about 10 Gig of songs, 20 Gig of video and use the rest to back up the hard-drive of my Mac. It's amazing how quickly even 80 Gig fills up.

6. I have a 40GB that's almost full.

[OllieLotte]

7. I have a 30. Holds 7500 and I have about 4800 on it. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

8. I have

one thousand copies of my five favorite songs. I figured I'd want to listen to them more than once.

[Coventina]

9. I have a 30 gig and it's too small!

I filled it up completely, and I still haven't finished converting my cd collection! Plus, if I buy anything new, that means I have to take something else off!

grrr!

I love my iPod. It goes everywhere with me. It is probably my favorite material object. My Preciousssssss........

10. I bought mine for a plane trip from Chicago to Osaka, because I knew

from the airline's website that I didn't like their movie selection for the month or more than about two hours of their music program.

At present, I have 134 classical tracks loaded onto it, for over 13 hours of music, and that's not even half the classical CDs I own. I haven't even started on the world, pop, and jazz CDs. I think I'm going to need a bigger iPod...

[bikebloke]

11. I have the 30 GB

And right now have nearly 1100 songs on it. They sure beat mixer cassettes. I listened to the same tapes for years. And it is like having your own radio station, but without inane DJ chatter, adverts and especially songs you don't like.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. I wish I had one.

Mine holds between 600 and 700 (4GB Nano) and I'd kill for the ability to fit more music on there. And it'd hardly be a lot to weed through since it's organized in a number of different ways. I have about 10,000 songs on my computer and I never have trouble weeding through that.

[peekaloo]

14. Because 4,999 songs just isn't ENOUGH!

:-)

[Deja Q]

16. I have a PDA that holds 2500 songs

With room for 2500 more.


Storage media is storage media. CDs are tangible, however. Download music is not only intangible, excessive DRM tethers it. (hence my liking of iTunes; it allows some of that dire F-word, "freedom".)

17. I have the 7500 song ipod...

and the why is because it was a gift from my wife. I love it and use it all the time, but I'll never put that many songs on it.:shrug:

[TimeChaser]

18. I've got a 40gig mp3 player

I've probably got 2,000 or so songs on it at the moment, although I tend to divide them into playlists of about 100-200 songs. It's nice to have so many songs so that when I set it to repeat and random, I'm not hearing the same couple of songs over and over.

[Phillycat]

19. I have a 40-gig, holds way more than 5000.

And it's full, and I need a bigger one. :)

[ikojo]

20. I have a 60 gigger and it has mostly videos on

it. I use it at work...position the iPod under my monitor and I can "watch" it while working!!

I could use more space because I'd like to have more X Files episodes on it. When will a 250 gigger come around?
