Sure I have an iPhone and an iPad, but even with the largest models of their generations and a bunch of apps 64 GB doesn’t leave much room for music. Not only that but I rip all my CD’s at Apple Lossless, which is about half the size of CD quality with no loss of quality. That leaves me with my venerable iPod Classic with 120 GB harddrive (there was once a bigger model, but it is no more). Still not huge, especially with hard drives growing every year, but sans a plethora of apps it can store quite a bit of music. And there is nothing else that matches it’s size. Sure eventually static memory will get larger, but so does app size as screens get better. And don’t even get me started in how much space large photos take up on the new iPad!?!?!
And streaming music doesn’t work for me as long as data plans have caps. And even most unlimited plans are not even close to unlimited! As streaming could be the future, but only if it can be all your songs just as they are in your computer!
I know it will never happen, but i would love a new hard drive based ipod, say 320GB, with an updated interface. It can still be scroll wheel, but playlists needs a fast scroll like artists have! It could store most of my music and mean i can just worry about apps on my iOS devices!
