In Reply to: RE: {{{I have a 350Gb version }}} ~ Are you sure??? ... posted by esande on February 26, 2012 at 03:41:20
My 120GB iPod Classic is nearly full with about 4000 tunes on it (using Apple Lossless Compression) and I want more. 32GB wouldn't cut it for me, so I care! ;-)

Interesting how I think in terms of lps and the iStuff generation thinks in terms of songs, eh? Besides, I just sync the Blackberry to a laptop and delete or add CDs (or more frequently digitized lps) as the fancy strikes me.
I counted today after posting last night, I have 53 lps on the darn thing right now as .wav files and about 6 GB left. My average commute time is 3.5 hours round trip... There is no way I would listen to a portable at home, so it seems to be one of those moot points to me.
:-)
On the main iTunes page it lists how many songs one has, mine says: 960 songs, 3.6 days 85.48 GB
When I click on "Albums" it says I have 188 , and when I click on "Artists" it says I have 142 .
So iTunes give you both. I have some complete albums, some partial albums and some albums with just a single song or classical work.
BTW all of my music is 24 bit in Apple Lossless and my hard drive is almost full, I only have 17 GBs available. An iPod classic would hold almost twice as much music as my Mac Mini. So I don't understand why my iPod is limited to 24/48 when my computer will do up to 24/192?
"Happy Listening,

I'm about the same age as you so I am definitely not of the iStuff generation. I made the switch to mostly Apple computer gear and the iPod about 4 years ago and most recently the iPhone 4 having retired the Blackberry that I had for two years.
I work mostly from home but when I drive to visit customers, my drive time is usually under one 1 hour round trip but I still enjoy the convenience of having almost any genre or artist in my collection to choose from.
The older iPod with about 4000 tunes on it is dedicated to car audio and stays in the glove compartment. My iPhone is used mainly for business and has nearly no music on it.
No criticism intended, Abe, frankly I was just commenting on the "song" orientation as opposed to the "lp" orientation of the iStuff folks.
I think that may be a cultural shift, or maybe a shift BACK to what obtained in the 45 or 78 rpm eras. Singles, basically.
Not necessarily bad, but the whole idea of a connected "album" of songs I think first emerged with the lp era and sort of continued with the CD.
Sure the were actual albums (meaning collections of individual records) of 78s that covered a symphony or whatever, but that wasn't the norm until the storage medium changed with the lp.
Forty five or so minutes on a single carrier was a BIG change.
Now the carrier has a vastly larger time slice and yet we're getting back to a "singles" format. Is that what people are more attuned to or is it simply a function of marketing or culturally induced attentional disorder?
Or is that the same thing?
I don't know, I never much listened to 45s anyway. But that's what Apple is selling, I think. I may be missing something here, I freely grant.
