new iPod February 28, 2008

I bought a new iPod this week - a Nano with 4 GB of storage.
My music library is much larger than that, and I’m used to carrying around my entire collection with me, so this requires me to change some things. I’m a shuffle listener, and it seemed like I was skipping 4-5 songs for every song that I actually listened to on my old iPod.
On this iPod, I don’t have the luxury of syncing my entire collection. I have to go into iTunes and be selective about the songs that get put on there. I have to actually think about these songs and decide whether I like them enough to put them on there. I’m discovering that there’s a lot of music that I thought that I liked, but I guess I really don’t.
I still need to pare things down a little, but it’s getting to where I don’t want to skip anything when I hit shuffle. Could you limit yourselves to 4 GB of music?
NO. It would hurt too much.
Spoiled with an 80Gb Classic. Used to have the 4Gb mini and I had the same challenges you are describing. Now I’ve go space to spare and appreciate access to the whole collection. Downside is that it takes much longer now to find things on the 80Gb model…
