bbattle said:I've got a 30gB iPod and I've never bought any music from iTMS or elsewhere online. Lately I've been digitizing my lp collection(1700+ and growing). I save the data as uncompressed .aiff and just load that onto the iPod. I suppose when I fill it up I'll rip the .aiff to something smaller but I got a way's to go.
Middle pocket of my road jersey. No way would I take it on my mtb. I have a bad habit of crashing, falling over, hitting trees, etc.
I'd get a flash-based player like the Nano and a good case to keep it from getting scratched.
I've been digitizing a lot of vinyl lately myself - especially stuff I can't get anymore, online or otherwise.
Another tip - storage means - flash memory, like the Nano and the type that I have, is all solid-state and has no moving parts. Hard-drive-type units are vulnerable to vibration (MTB'ers like myself on occasion), impacts, and, since hard drives are a type of magnetic medium, they are especially vulnerable to stray magnetic fields, which can effectively wipe out your entire library in less than one second.
