Don't know exactly how many tracks are on mine, but its something like
160 CDs, all ripped using AAC lossless.

Takes up about 70GB.

Plus another 15GB of video & audio podcasts.

I had something like 16000+ tracks from loads of places, but got pisses
with the poor quality of a lot of them so started from scratch again
and only have what I own on there now, plus some stuff downloaded from
alltunes in OGG 256Kbps.

If they ever realease a 3G iPhone with 160GB I'll buy one.

Bloody annoying that they don't let you delete tracks directly. I do
that as well, 0 star = delete, 1 = classical, 2 = easy, 3 = rock, 4 =
dance, 5 = talkies.

One of the reasons I decided to start pretty much from scratch was the
OGG problem with the iPod range - they don't play OGGs. Pretty much
MP3, AAC and that's it apart from an audiobook format.

I'm trying to think of any modern phone with a 160Gb in it. 8Gb seems
to be considered big these days for a phone, which is the n95 and I
*think* the iPhone does 8Gb (or is it 6...)

1 star = kill. 2 stars = kill if I haven't listened to it for a
month, 3 stars fine. 4 & 5 stars and it auto-adds to my iTouch
'highest rated' playlist. It also has a '25 most played' playlist
which updates depending on what I've listened to the most. I can also
sort and by genre which saves having to use odd star ratings to decide
what music is what. I can also great custom 'on the go' playlists
directly from the device which then sync back to iTunes.

I would sometimes like to directly delete a track from the iPod Touch,
but it doesn't let me. I can delete videos and podcasts from the
device by swiping my finger from left to right over the track name,
but not music. Go figure.

Doesn't work on the iPod Classic or the iPod Touch/iPhone.

True, but for downloading tracks over't'web its about the best one.
256Kbps OGGs are damn close to the original quality, OGG has tags that
allTunes uses so I can easily convert them to whatever I want. iPods
don't understand OGGs but you can get OGG plugins for iTunes, so it can
read the tags and play them, and then its a doddle to get iTunes to
convert them to AAC.

Same as the iTouch, 8GB or 16GB flash memory.

The 160GB 1.8" HDDs are *tiny*, I'm damn sure they could fit one into
an iPhone if they wanted.

How long do you think the battery would last?

Hmm. 86GB, 18427 files.

And yet I still end up listening to the same stuff over and over and
over and over and over again.

How long do you think the drive would last? Phones need to be tough
enough to cater to all sorts of scenarios. Harddrives just aren't
tough enough.

A little longer than the battery.

Probably.

I'm sure there's a mobile phone out there with a HDD in it. Someone
whinged to me about how long it took to reboot.
