dslartooI have finally finished ripping all of my CDs to digital format for use with iTunes and my iPod. Two CDs (at least) have gone missing, Type O Negative's "October Rust" and Gary Hoey's "Animal Instinct". All the rest, however, have been digitized.
Final total: 10745 songs, 36.1 days, 58.76 GB.
This means, of course, they don't all fit on the iPod itself (because of the way marketing people calculate a GB of space, vs. how the operating system actually calculates it, the "advertised" space is 60 GB while the actual capacity is about 55.7 GB. So, I had to make some tradeoffs and remove a few CDs that I don't listen to much or that I really ought to get rid of (for example, some budget-price classical discs with no-name conductors and orchestras).
The iPod itself now holds: 10077 songs, 34.2 days' worth, 55.75 GB used........and 700K of free space left. Can't cut it much closer than that. :)
In a while, I'll begin the somewhat annoying process of importing all the hundreds of random MP3s I've collected over the years into iTunes as well. If I want to add those to the iPod, I'll have to do some more shuffling. There are still several discs on here I can stand to lose, though, so I expect I'll be pretty much OK.
Hooray for modern technology.

Date: 2006-01-25 12:28 pm (UTC)That's kinda where I was with my 40GB. I'd gotten apprehensive about aquiring new music because it meant having to figure out how to make room. I just recently upgraded to a 60GB to give myself some growing room.
Hopefully they'll come out with bigger ones quicker than you can grow your collection. :)
Toshiba is already shipping an 80GB 1.8" PMR drive. iPods are usually not far behind them.
