Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
Well I have mine about 2 weeks so far . I took all my favorite songs from all my CD's and plus bought about 65 songs so far and I barely put a dent in it . I still have almost 15 GB left . I'm almost thinking I should have bought a smaller one . And I like allot of different kinds of usic . Anyone actually fill theirs and how long did it take you ? Can't imagine anyone filling a 30 or 40 !!!!

My 20GB only has 25MB of space left, and I have about 10GB of tunes left. I'm thinking of selling the 20GB and getting the 40GB or just getting a 40GB and keeping the 20 just in case.
# 2 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?

# 3 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
My 20 GB iPod is now at 85% capacity. Fortunately, I've encoded everything that I own.

I'm always under .5 gb left empty. As soon as a book is read/listened to, another takes it's place.

# 6 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
Ive got 14GB here so I'm getting pretty close.
# 7 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
your problem is that only take your favorite songs... i collect albums... i have like 400 or somethin... in 6415 songs (24GB on a 30GB ipod in AAC format)... if i only took 1-4 songs from every album i would have nothin
i usually put entire albums on my ipod cuz the albums i collect are classics..
# 8 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
i am the same way maroon, i am waiting to get a 40 gig, but on my computer i have over 48 gigs of music, 8000 + songs and 650+ albums
so a 20 gig is way to small for me, i never no what mood i am going to be in so i need to carry around a lot of differnt music

I'm kind of in the same boat with my 10gig. However going up to a a 40gig would, IMHO, not make much of a difference to me.

# 10 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have a 3g, 30 gig and I've used over 16 gigs so far. I like having all my music with me 'cause I don't know what mood I'll be in at any given moment.
# 11 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
My 40 GB is always full. I ripped my whole CD collection and have over 100 GB @ 320 cbr, I just let iTunes select a randon subset of the 100 GB and it's always full. I put it on total random shuffle play and if a song bores me, I just hit next track and I am surprised all day. I just did a 7 hr road trip this way and it was great. Heck I wish they made 100 GB iPods
# 12 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have a 2G 20 GB iPod and its full. When I first bought it about 15 months ago, I had about 7 GB of music. Now I have so much that a 40 GB iPod wouldn't hold it all. My iPod has spurred quite a few music purchases. Most of my songs are 192 kbps VBR LAME MP3s.
In summary buy the largest iPod you can afford. You'll fill it sooner than you think.

# 13 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?

# 14 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
My 30 GB is full and has been for sometime. I keep my tunes on an external harddrive since I only have 40 GB on my laptop harddrive. I use smartlist to keep the songs shuffling through my iPod.
# 15 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
My 40Gb is full:(
Need a bigger one!

# 17 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have over 105 GB of music on my computer, all fully ripped complete albums of MP3 at approx. 160 kb or better.
I had a 20 gig ZEN and a 20 gig iRiver and actually just traded them for a 15 GB iPod. Down in size, you say??
I realized that even though it would be great to have more of my collection on a Jukebox I didn't really need more than 3000 songs at a time and that it was actually better for me to 'refresh' the jukebox every few weeks.
Plus the iPod is much cooler than both of my previous units even w/ it's smaller capacity.
It's the 80/20 rule... 80% of the people would only listen to 20% of their collection once it gets past a certain size.
# 18 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have less than 10 gb and this is with music I don't listen to much as well! I really need more music.... [20gb pod btw]
# 19 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I could fill 2.5 20GB ipods. Lack of space is my biggest issue right now

# 20 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
When I first bought an iPod, my music collection was just under 100 songs. I bought the 20 GB because I would use it as a backup for my PC and I thought I could never fill it up.
Now, 6 months later, I have 3200 songs in iTunes which takes up just over 20 GB...
If you have trouble finding new music to listen to check out:
Music Plasma (http://www.musicplasma.com/) or Music Mobs (http://www.musicmobs.com/)
and if you live in a country that allows downloading music:
Soul Seek (http://www.slsknet.org/) :)

# 22 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
it's the bitrates that are filling up your ipods.
i have a 30g and i estimate at 128kb/s i can fit 10,000 songs on there. (only have 1000 so far - but my cd collection is on the other side of the world, so it's slowing me down). i can only very slightly notice the difference between 128 and 160 when i'm in my bedroom, but i mostly use my ipod when i'm jogging or on the subway... so there's inevitably bg noise anyway.
# 23 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have filled my 20GB with about 4300 illegally downloaded songs between 128k and 192k.
# 24 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I only have a 10GB iPod, but I sure can easily fill up a 20GB since my entire music collection is around 30GB. :)
# 25 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
Buy used CD on ebay and then copy or rip it to MP3s then post it on ebay to sell it. :D

Same here but i have a 250 GB external hard drive so i gots space to go. Also: i have like 16 gigs, but thats soon to change cause i'm getting rid of the 9/11 hearings.
# 27 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have a 15gb, and it's got about 1gb left on it.
I ripped most of my CDs into itunes at whatever Apple's default setting is, only leaving out CDs I know I'll never want to listen to. This is after a serious culling of my music collection, so pretty much everything on my computer/ipod is stuff I like (full albums though, so there are some songs I may not love)
I guess when I get over 15gb I'll have to just let it randomly fill it up.
# 28 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I have a 40 gig with about 3-4 gigs of free space left. It is filled with mostly 128 - 196 bitrate mp3s, and a handfull of albums off of iTunes.
And I have about 10 more gigs of mp3s that aren't even on it... it is pretty silly.. I will probably never get around to listening to everything that I have...

# 29 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
only about 8 gb full on my 20 - and that's most of my CD's, at least most of the good ones. So there's plenty of room for new stuff!
# 30 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
I've only used about 9GB's of my 20GB pod.. I have just over 2000 songs at the mo. Seems pitiful compared to others on this site, but its still a lot more than most people I know..

# 31 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
mine is filled to the brim. i'm having a hard time deciding which album gets to stay. *sigh... i need a 100GB ipod.
# 32 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
Ive got 25 gigs worth, about 5000 or so songs. I have plenty of space left.
# 33 Re: Anyone fill a 20 GB ?
Got about 8 GBs left on me 40 but I have over 35GBs of music in iTunes and still haven't ripped all my cds.
