# 1 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have about 57 GB of music (getting smaller since I'm re-encoding everything in AAC) and a 5 GB iPod... so mine's always full! :cool:

# 2 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have 5GB iPod too. It is ALWAYS full. I must delete some of MP3 if I need new songs. I guess 30GB will be enough for me to use.

I've got a small library.
With my 15gigger, I still have about 5-6gigs free.

# 4 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I wonder if anyone has a 20G or 30G full that be amazing to have a collection like that.

# 5 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have a 5 gig and I'm down to 98.8 mb available. Gonna have to start being a little selective pretty soon.

# 8 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
My 20G is full most of the time, but I rotate the crops. I have roughly 60G of music encoded.

# 9 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have a 20GB that's full, but I have about 40GB total on my computer. I like the sound of the new 30GB.

# 10 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have 7 GB of music and a 20 GB iPod. I'm thinking of downgrading (or upgrading, depends on how you look at it) to the new 15 GB iPod since I have 12 GB of free space right now.

# 13 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
yeah I rushed it, im sorry just had to much things open and messages to reply to, um ok.

My friend and I are working on a new software for Windows its like EphPod Xplay etc...

We wanna test our DB Viewer, I have a 20G windows iPod but around 5G of music on it cause i havn't edited all my mp3 yet.
We were wondering if anyone had a full iPod of mabe 20G full so we can test teh speed of viewing so many files in our DB Viewer we would need the file iTunesDB located in the folder iPod_Control > iTunes the file is iTunesDB.

If any one can send it to us we would be greatfull remember only if you have around 15G or more 20G full would be great to test, tag must be edited.

# 14 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Ooh, yeah, me too. Send me your full iPod, I'll be sure to look after it carefully. I want to run some, er, experiments. Won't take more that a year or two, then I promise I'll send it back, if I can still remember your address.

# 15 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
relax buddy its just a copy of a file called iTunesDB nothing more showing what stuff u got on your ipod there is no way to get your music off that file.

but if u don't want to then ok, fine I don't care Ill just go t a friends and upload his music onto my ipod to get a full 20G so then i can check if the viewer can view so many files.
Ruethewhirl at 2007-11-15 14:32:40 >
# 16 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Im not asking for there iPod Im asking for a file from the iPod_Control > iTunes folder called iTunes but only from people who have 20G full iPod or 30G would be great to test a DB viewer.
I think you miss read.
I stated I have a Windows 20G iPod but not enough music to test this.

Just joking with you, don't worry. Actually, on my first read I thought you were asking for the full iPod, so by your rebuttal to my response, it's clearing things up for other people who might be able to help. I don't even have an iPod yet, but I'm planning on it. First I need to rip my CDs, so I know what size I need.

"...First I need to rip my CDs, so I know what size I need"

To give you an idea, I have 275 cd's ripped at 192k that takes up 19gb. Seems the average cd size is 80mb give or take.

# 21 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Just replaced my defective 20 gig with a brand spankin' new 30 gig. I have 10 gig on it right now and will probably dump another 5 or so on over the next week.

# 22 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Mine's a 10 gig classic with about 600 meg left. As soon as I reached the point where I had under 1 gig of storage left, I started sweating a bit and began filtering some of the less desirable material off iPod. Ya know, just going through albums and thinking, "I don't reeeeally like this song that much do I?" DELETE...Next! :D

Man that is great info. I am about to start in on my CD collection (over 400), so this info will come in handy.

Looking forward to filling up my 30 Gig baby.

# 26 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
My ipod is on order (30gb, too small) But I have no idea how I'm going to pick my favorite 30 gigs worth from my 260 Gig colllection

# 27 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I don't know how you guys can have 200+ GB of music. I have maybe 25 GB if im lucky, and I find that its pleanty of music.

I may not have that much, but I buy at least 50/60 CDs per year, and that for the last 10+ years.

In my case, not all of them will get mp3-ed, or aac-ed; not enough HD space right now, and not enough time to ripped them.

Max.

So, just to extend that, if everything were ripped at 128k (AAC), that would be about 13gb, and an average of about 54mb per disk.

Looks like I'll probably break 15gb.

Anyone else want to chime in so that we increase the accuracy of this calculation?

OK, I just decided to a little direct math.

128kbps = 56 MB/hr, so 15 GB = 274 hours (of course, not all of the 15 GB is available). Assuming a 50 minute album (is that a good assumption?), 329 albums on a 15 GB.

Maybe the 15GB will be OK after all.

# 32 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have 4,665 songs on my 27.8 GB iPod. 18.3 GB of music and about 9.5 GB free.

# 33 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
My library is approaching 1GB at the moment...it has grown from a measily 500MB when I first got my iPod at the beginning of this week :p
Island Roots at 2007-11-15 14:50:58 >
# 34 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have 27.6Mb free on my 10Gb (9.2Gb) touchpad iPod. I use Media Center 9's smartlists to produce random selections of music to go alongside core music that has to be on my iPod. I think my mp3 library is around 15Gb but it is growing as I finish off ripping all my CD's.

# 35 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Getting my iPod tommorrow (still thinking of names, iKeaner seems like the leader) which is a 20giger gen2. Worst part: my entire mp3 collection as of now (just the songs i like, having a 30gig HD with many programs installed forces u to limit your songs) is now 413mb. thats right, 1/2 of a gig...

Only 3 CD's and a few other choice songs.

Now that i look at it, that is extrodinaryily sad. Oh well, gonna have to go through all my dad's rock CDs and start rippin away!

EDITED: Just read another persons post about having 500mb when he started (ok, the page switching thing gets me everytime), and am not so discouraged anymore. Im just glad i spent the extra $5 for the Overnite shipping so i can get it in time for the trip to pitsburg!! whohoo!

I have a 15 gig iPod and I have to cycle music out if I want new stuff now :P I have like 20 megs free ...

# 37 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I havn't got my Pod yet (did order it, yay!:D) but atm I only have like 1gb of music on my comp so it'll be ok for a while before it gets full.

(I'm VERY selective :D, basically unless it's a #1 hit in my book it won't allow to life)

# 38 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
my new 30 g hasnt arrived yet. ( ordered replacement ) but i have 20.2gigs of music ( 5314 tracks ) but thats just my mp3/wma. i have 3 albums left in wma ( opeth, i love that band ) and some left to convert that are in ogg :) i probably have about 5500 tracks altogether... time for graphics exam...

# 39 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
My first iPod was a Gen1 10 GB (scrollwheel) that was always full.

Now I have a 30 GB Gen3 iPod, and it has about 17 GB of music on it (no contacts, appontments, notes or other data files), leaving about 10.9 GB free. What blows me away is I still have more free space than the total that was available on my first iPod.

But, I just bought a new CD today! ;) Still chipping away at that free space!

# 40 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
I have about 110 GB of music on my computer (yes I'm guilty of downloading illegal MP3s). On my 30 GB iPod, I have 11.4 GB available. I only have 1899 tracks on my iPod though, a portion of the space is taken up by other files.

# 41 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Argh! I should read the entire thread before i post - *ouch* :rolleyes:

Sorry pals.

Edit : Anyway I have ~1300+ something Songs on my 5Gb gen 1 iPod. The ItunesDB is about 800kb in size and it takes some time browsing the database, how about you guys with 20 or even 30gb full ? You must have databases that exceed 3MB :eek: Isn't searching a bit sluggy then ?
TheGuardian at 2007-11-15 14:59:03 >
# 42 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
Searching (in Gen3 30GB) is quite swift. No problems thus far. I think once on my old 10GB it froze, but that was the extent of my problems.

# 43 Re: Is your iPod full yet? how many gigs?
