Limited iPod Space and A Change In Music Taste

[cwhit412]

So, I'm having a small problem. In the past month, my music taste has changed drastically. I basically spend my time looking up music of my new taste, giving me little time to even get to know it. Now, my other problem is my ipod was 3/4 full BEFORE i got all this new music. So, my iPod is overflowing. Do I just stop looking up music for now, letting this stuff settle in? Or should I do a full makeover? Has anyone else had this problem?

[danielineffigy]

How is this even a problem? Just pick which songs you want on your iPod, done deal.

[Deadbolt23]

This is my life.

[fly_guy]

Its not that hard to switch up your ipod every day or so....

[PatrickRitchie]

I never really have this problem, I've got a 120GB Classic.

[troubledbyinsects]

get an ipod that holds more music?

[kearn1tm]

Life's rough, man.

[Roboman]

get an ipod that holds more music?

This was my solution when I filled up my 40 and 80GB iPods. My 160GB should last me for some time yet.

[yaz06]

Put what new ones on there that you like and keep all of your old favourites too. Shouldn't be that hard.

[shimmyshakes]

Get a new ipod! They're getting cheaper and cheaper and constantly making new ones that hold more songs.
I used to have the same problem a couple years ago when I had an ipod that held 450 songs. That sucked.

[carnotaurhunter]

What's this new music you're discovering?

(Delete old things you never listen to. Add new things album by album, so you can listen to everything you put on it at least once.)

[guitarpickheart]

(Delete old things you never listen to. Add new things album by album, so you can listen to everything you put on it at least once.)

That's what I do. Although I realized a few weeks ago that I don't actually have that much music, and I don't really need to delete anything yet.

[mikep]

Why don't you worry about something more important in life...i mean knowing your music on your ipod is iportant, but there are more important things in life than simply worrying about your ipod.

[blebbio]

lol

Changing from "shitty" "pop-punk" (Artist Vs Poet, All Time Low, Friday Night Boys) to bands like Thrice, The Venetia Fair, Trophy Scars, Thursday. Pretty big change.

And I have an Itouch. can't get a new one.

[yayitsjoe]

delete your shit. get into trophy scars.

[Scrandon]

ya thats why you think about that stuff before you get an 8gb ipod touch. rather than just running out and buying it cause it has a touch screen and its the next big thing.

[blissfulrain]

Yeah, I have an 8GB iPod Touch too. One thing I did that cleared up about a gig of space is deleting all the apps I didn't use anymore. I only have two pages now, and I'm quite content with them. I also regularly download music, and I always end up deleting a bunch I don't like.

One thing I'm realizing lately is that music is just music. You don't HAVE TO have that album you like. I used to like keeping tons of music on my iPod just so when my friends would look at it they'd be like "WHOA YOU LIKE LOTS OF MOOZIKS", but now I don't even care. I only care about what I wanna listen to.

[Debut_Fin]

This was my solution when I filled up my 40 and 80GB iPods. My 160GB should last me for some time yet.

i still have 30 Gigs left on my 160. it's a beautiful thing

[StrictlyBiznas]

Haha. What the fuck?

[atticus18244fss]

32GB isn't cutting it for me either. pain in the ass.

[demondays524]

This happened to me recently. Just delete the songs you don't listen to or don't like and only keep the ones you like listening to. I'm still going through my iTunes and deleting a lot of stuff. Also remove apps from your iPod that you don't use or videos you don't watch. That will clear up a lot of space.

[Neo Cassady]

I have a 32gb iPod Touch that's filled to the brim with music, and I find myself switching out a few albums once a week or so. The problem is that there is about 20gb that I listen to enough to never remove, and that I'm OCD about having full albums on my iPod, even if there are a few songs on the album that I can't stand, won't ever listen to, etc. Something about it actually seeming like a record collection instead of a smattering of files, I guess. Like other people have said, I really regret not getting the 120/160gb iPod Classic.

[Cøltøn]

I had an iPod touch but I got rid of it cus it was a piece of shit. Most overrated things ever. Get a 160GB classic. Best value. I have 16000 songs and still have like 40GB left and I even have some movies on it.

[cwhit412]

ya thats why you think about that stuff before you get an 8gb ipod touch. rather than just running out and buying it cause it has a touch screen and its the next big thing.

16 gig Itouch, and when I got it I only had 1200 songs.
I've gotten 700 in a month now.

[yellowhouse]

I never really have this problem, I've got a 120GB Classic.

Samesies. It's the way to go.

[cwhit412]

delete your shit. get into trophy scars.

I am. And the Venetia Fair is INSANE.

[anthonydarko]

I have a 160GB iPod and so far, I've only filled it up with 30GB worth of music. I love it.

[jbertclassic]

Why don't you worry about something more important in life...i mean knowing your music on your ipod is iportant, but there are more important things in life than simply worrying about your ipod.
There's more important things in life than shitting or wearing clothes as well. Should these be expelled from our lives also?

[JimGray]

16 gig Itouch, and when I got it I only had 1200 songs.
I've gotten 700 in a month now.

That's about my daily average, I suck.

Fuck it, we all know we only keep music on the iPod for credz.

[makeasound]

That's why I got rid of my 30gb and got a 160gb. If you're someone who accumulates a ton of music on a regular basis, it definitely makes life easier.

[Tautou107]

I've been having this problem lately as well. Hopefully upgrading and getting a new/better one soon.

[JimGray]

I kind of want a zune.

[AbolitionOfMan]

Don't get a new iPod. Take off the stuff you don't want to listen to anymore (you'll still have it, just not portable) and spend time listening to your new discoveries. You'll appreciate the new music more and if you really want mix in the old stuff after a while you can, or that is when you get a new iPod.

Not to sound like an old man, but back in my day we only had 5-15gb iPods and you ran into this problem often ;-) So that is how I handled it. It sucked but I kept my 3rd gen 15gb for 5.5 years doing that.

[JimGray]

Dude, the 1st-3rd gens were so fucking reliable. I've gone through 2 5th gens, and they both were pieces of shit.

[swt_catastrophe]

Just as I finally filled up my 80G classic, I bought my macbook and got a free touch. Yay for more music space to fill up.

I always do this. I hate it when I run out of space on something and then have to delete the songs from the album that suck. I just know that albums were put together the way they were for a reason and that took a lot of work, and I want to honor that by listening to the songs in the order they're meant to be presented.

I kind of want a zune.
Yay. You should buy one.

[blebbio]

Can't you just put the stuff you like on your ipod and either delete the stuff you don't like anymore or just take it off your iPod. You can keep it on your computer, right?

[Neo Cassady]

Back in my day, we had CD Walkmen and carried 10-20 songs with us at once. So, you being five years older, means...

I'm like this too, and I never get when people only have like one or two songs off an album on their iPod, there is always that chance you could get into the other songs haha.

[Roboman]

Samesies. I hate it when people only have one song from an album or even worse, one song from a band. If you like one song, you're more than likely to enjoy more...then again, maybe I'm just more interested in finding music I like than other people are.

[princesschad]

here's my opinion:

people who don't have full albums on their ipods are morons. people who have music they don't plan to listen to again on their ipods are morons. so just download and listen to, get to know what you really love and don't keep anything on there you don't like. take time to actually listen to albums over and over again rather than download hundreds of artists simply for the sake of it. simple as that.

[AbolitionOfMan]

Dude, the 1st-3rd gens were so fucking reliable. I've gone through 2 5th gens, and they both were pieces of shit.
I still have mine even though it is dead, dead, dead. Can't get rid of it because I'm too nostalgic. I still remember the day I bought.

Back in my day, we had CD Walkmen and carried 10-20 songs with us at once. So, you being five years older, means...
haha, well yeah. I didn't even want to date myself with talk of cassette walkmens and discmans.

I'm an album guy and not a singles guy. I understand the thought of singles but it is more in the sense of a mixtape/playlist of bands you already enjoy. I agree though it is better to experience the full album and hear the band as they had intended instead of picking and choosing 2-3 songs from 300 different bands. I have roughly 6k mp3's right now and probably only a few dozen of those aren't part of me having the full album they came from.

it would have but i'd be able to afford like three more because the economy would be fixed as we would have annexed the middle east into the great empire.

[AbolitionOfMan]

I don't remember what it was, because it wasn't memorable, but I had some 32mb MP3 back in 1999 and it was the biggest POS ever. I had to rip my music @ 64kbps just to get enough songs to workout with.

[JimGray]

I don't want to reminisce on what could've been. It hurts too much.

Haha mine was 64 and I did the same. Eventually I bought another 64mb memory card for it, and the worst part was, to listen to the songs on the card, I'd have to switch to the memory card's folder. So stupid.

[yayitsjoe]

I am. And the Venetia Fair is INSANE.
i don't know what/who that is. haha.

[cwhit412]

Check them out. They're crazy. I got them from LastFM Trophy Scars. Trust me, they're good.

i'll have to get into them then. thanks for the suggestion.

[yayitsjoe]

also, you should check out la dispute.

[cwhit412]

also, you should check out la dispute.

I've listened to them a few times, haven't taken a big listen, although I probably will soon.
Venetia Fair is like...insane circus music on drugs. Similar vocals to Trophy Scars, just a bit more insane.

[Rawrr]

I delete about 500 songs ever 4 months or so, who cares. up da punx

[thekeywork2113]

too much music vs too little time.

I'm currently dealing with this problem. My 80 gig Ipod just broke, so I have to use my Iphone for music for the time being. Just try to get stuff that you are going to be listening that week, and replace every week.

I abbreviate only a few things. Mostly lol, idk (once in a while), g2g, etc. I hate people that abbreviate "wut/wat", "u/r" and all those ones that don't even save you much time.

I never really have this problem, I've got a 120GB Classic.

Same here.

I don't really like any abbreviations. It bothers me to no end when for whatever reason I have to text someone and need to abbreviate because my message is longer than 160 characters. Which is why I try to actually call the person when I can.

I'm a fan of calling people when I can. Texting is just so tedious sometimes. So much easier to just say what you need to.

[acemvivere]

16GB iPod Touch has yet to give me any real problems. It's sort of like a filter; the artists I listen to a lot stay, the ones I don't leave.
