I just finished completely restarting my music library, and now it's at 72.19 GBs. Thank god for iTunes Match.

 

[Starry Windy]

My, speaking of music collections, I have tons and tons of CD that I and my parents bought ever since many years ago. I feel like I have bought too much {XD}

 

[Legendary Silke]

Something tells me my next phone must have either 32 GB of internal storage, or microSDXC support. I'm running out of space.

I can always sync these music files as converted 128 Kbps Windows Media Audio files, but... it's throwing information away.

 

[Honest]

I only have 2 CSs. I gave everything else away o.o

 

[Mark Kamill]

I have like 20 gigs of music, all in all 150 albums or so. I somehow need more though, as 2013 alone has like 100 albums I need to listen to.

 

[Tsutarja]

I have a few gigs of music as well, but I don't really have that many songs either compared to the amount that my parents have.

More importantly, it's throwing quality away.

 

[Starry Windy]

Well, that's why I'm preferring more bitrates if it comes to MP3, more bitrate means the quality of the song will be better.

 

[Mark Kamill]

Yeah 120kbps is horrible for rock/metal. Especially if you're listening to a band that has all sorts of little nuances in their songs like Blind Guardian or Stratovarius, you just won't pick em up unless its 320.

After factoring in other data and reserved space on my phone, I have about 1.63 GB free.

Looks like I'm not going to install Final Fantasy III at this rate. Could have made for a quickie trial.

I just leave the files as 256 Kbps AAC and MP3 files, as these are the source files for me. They were bought from the iTunes Store and Nokia Music (now Nokia MixRadio). Things that come from physical CDs are 320 Kbps MP3 for compatibility reasons.

I could always have converted them all to Windows Media Audio Professional, where 128 Kbps would be perfectly fine. The 3DS won't play them, though.

What? I thought Final Fantasy was for game consoles or handheld games only.

The power of Smartphone Platforms(tm) :P

In this case, it was the Nintendo DS remake. It's been out for a while on iOS and Android, so seeing Windows Phone get it is a nice thing to see. Especially when it's also WP7-compatible.

 

[Nick]

What kind of phone do you have, Twiggy?

 

[Legendary Silke]

What kind of phone do you have, Twiggy?

The Nokia Lumia 900. Even though the browser isn't exactly the most capable thing these days, and app support is drying up, it still works dang well as a phone.

It has never given me up, just like that Rick.

 

[Nick]

You are literally the only person I know in the world who uses a Windows phone.

 

[Tsutarja]

Add me to the list of Windows Phone users then, except I use a Lumia 520, which runs Windows Phone 8, unlike the Lumia 920.

I could have been an Apple nut if things went a bit differently back then.

You know, the Apple iPhone 4S.

You mean the 900. :3

It's funny how the 520 is superior internally to the 900, aside from missing hardware, camera, display, internal storage, and radios.

 

[Mark Kamill]

Surprisingly, Windows Phone is really popular here, despite the pricey entry for it, and the lack of anything but Nokia. No, thinking about it, I think that's why its popular. Nokia is like a brand god here, and despite the iLulz that everyone praises, the power of Nokia is still huge.

Actually, the price of entry for Windows Phones is extremely low when you consider that the Nokia Lumia 520 is basically a $100 phone that punches well above its weight.

It gets ridiculous when it's a $40 sans-contract phone. Would you buy a Nintendo 3DS game or an actual smartphone?

 

[Starry Windy]

All this talk makes me missed buying Nokia phones. Well, I was fond of using Nokia phones ever since the first time I got my phone back then.
