How many Gigabytes is enough?

[acdcwyatt]

I love my 80gb but ive also only used about 15 gigs on it, what do you think a considerable amount of gigs is, 30? 60? 80? 160?!!!

1 terabyte flash. It will happen.

[acdcwyatt]

soon enough

This AGAIN??

There's no such thing as "enough." No matter how much capacity you add, people will always want more. Simple as that.

I would rephrase the question, something like how many gigs do you need to get by ish. Other wise Everyone will say 1TB, 100TB ect.

I would be happy with a 64gb touch my self, that would meet all of my needs.

[dimmer]

700 GB would be ok, but no lets aim high - 1TB

I would say that a 64 gig nano would finally allow me to put all of the music I want to have with me on an ipod that is small enough to use at work assuming I keep everything at 192kbps.

At first I had trouble filling up 8GB, but I have sincefound ways where it simply isn't enough. I would say 160GB, 'cause knowing me, it would probably be the biggest waste of money ever lol.

I do fine with 16GB. 100 full albums, about 50 albums worth of my smartlist generated music mixes, about a GB worth of podcasts, about 20 hours worth of audibook chapters, and a few GB left over for video, photos, or whatever I feel like.

Until I find something else to do with the space, this seems like more than adequate for my usage patterns.

Update to my post a month ago since I have converted all of my radiohead to lossless and everything else to 320aac I would say that until I have at least a 128gb nano I will still have to swap music on and off of my ipod. I guess its all about how much music a person truly listens to as opposed to people just wanting to have everything they have ever ripped on their ipod for me having 1000+ albums on my ipod isnt a waist of space because at 32 years old I have alot of music that I do want to hear even if only once every few months.

try this for size

i was happy with discman, then minidisc ATRAC3 tracks fitting into the same space, i was happy with 4gb mini 128 mp3, then upping the bitrates to fill 20gb, but if i'm honest i'd still be happy with a nano containing just a handful of ALACs. new music means more to me than old music.

that said, if technology becomes affordable, i will go for more space.

id say 30 or 40 is enough

[jasoncordelle]

When I had a 4gb Nano, 8gb would have seemed more than enough...

I now have a Nano 8gb and have discovered video....120gb would be probably just right at the same size/form factor as my Nano Fatty, but when I eventually have that, it'll be nowhere near enough.

there's your answer

I recently updated to a 160gig Classic, because my 60gig 5G wasn't enough anymore. Now I'm reaching the limits of my 160gig. I guess more space gives you more possibilities to collect different stuff.
