The iPod Classic is for pirates
Or people who just have a @#$%-load of CDs...
Or people who spent $60,000 on iTunes songs.
My dad actually has too much music for a Nano and puts it all on a 60GB 3rd-gen iPod (now called the Classic), but he only uses that to power a home music system and easily fits all of the desired songs on an iPod touch or iPhone. Who needs that many songs on the go?
Well I have a 160GB Classic and it's hardly enough. I have all my music in ALAC, so the HDD fills really quickly. Also, there are people, who use it to power a sound system in their car, so a large drive is a great benefit.
I, for example, use it both outdoors and indoors. At home, I just plug in my amp and headphones and then I can listen to it whenever I happen to go. I sync it thrice a year and I'm happy with it. It's also great when I go to my cottage. No need to carry around my laptop just to play music.
Believe me, iPod Classic rocks, but 220GB HDD would be a nice update. That's all I want from it. A ****ton of space.
My mind is blown. I have my ~200 CDs ripped to Apple Lossless and it is only 150GB or so. That is a lot of music you have.
I have considered keeping my music in ALAC format, but it would make music on my iPhone useless since I could hold so little, and there is significantly higher battery usage on my HDD based iPod. I just converted it all to 256k "iTunes plus" format and left the ALAC files on the external drive. I suspect there are extremely few songs that would have a discernible difference from the ALAC file.
Something better than the current .7 MP camera, maybe closer to an 8MP camera like the iPhone 4S would be nice.
Well, I'm 40 and have been buying CD's since they first came out
Plus, I am a full blown audiophile/audiophool
Just in the time we last posted my library grew another 100gb.

How much money a year do you spend on music?
just wondering how your music library grew another 100gb if you spend so little on music in a year. Do you steal it?
Never. As a musician I never steal music.
I guess it's a fair question. I kind of resent it, but i know how loose kids morals are these days with music and can see how someone would be suspect on forums where lots of kids post. I hope in don't offend you BTW I'm 40.
Plus, buying cd's for 30+ years goes a long way. Probably more than $10,000 of music in LPs, cassettes and CD's. Maybe more.
Concert DVDs also.
Plus I only rip FLAC. No mpcrap. And I use my studio to rip old cassettes and LPs and VHS concerts.
I am still ripping cd's and trade in a lot of LEGAL Grateful Dead, Phish and Widespread Panic shows. As Flacs, those shows can be several gb per show times hundreds of shows.
I'm nowhere near done adding to my server. I'll fill my 6TB in the next year or so. It takes a long time checking metadata for so much stuff.
That doesn't seem right. 200 CDs ripped without any compression at all would be less than that, with Lossless it would compress by roughly half.

There's a dude out there offering 2TB of Dead shows, fully tagged.
If you really want to fill up space, there's always a way.

Or just build a random file in terminal!

PM if you care to share. Thanks.
My bad. My browser wasn't refreshing correctly and I missed wired72's response and mixed you up with him. So i thought you were spending $200-$300 a year on music and somehow just got another 100GB of music. Which of course wouldn't make sense and would require you to steal music. My apologies for the mixup.
Sadly, i'm sure there are MANY users on here that regularly steal music from torrent sites, but apparently you aren't one of them.
