do you carry your WHOLE library?

Quick question:

Do you guys like to carry your WHOLE library in your ipod, zune, other mp3 player? I have 17 GB (7.2 days) of music and just wondering about this, what about you guys? I mean, do you really need all of your library with the whole time? have you even listened to your entire collection?

No, they don't make a big enough iPod.

No I don't. I have a little 4gb Nano, and 18.43gb of songs in my library, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

I carry most of mine, I don't carry seasonal music (aka Christmas). I've been working on intermittently paring mine down to music I actually do listen to.

If you're talking about music, then there was a point a few years ago where my 20GB iPod could carry it all, but it wouldn't be able to handle it all today. If you're talking about video as well, then as Kevriano said, they don't make a big enough iPod (unless there's a 5TB model that I've missed)

Someday they may make an iPod large enough..but not right now..but by then my collection might be bigger too..

I only carry a few play list of music that I am currently listening too.. mostly around 3-4 gigs on the ipod touch (8 gig)

And how is that touch working out for you? I was thinking of getting the 8GB 3G or wait for a possible price drop (september-ish) and maybe score a 32 GB for maybe $200? I don't ever see myself ever filling up the 160 GB Classic!

I actually won the touch and its more than I need... I should just use a nano or something. My pod sits in my truck for when I am driving to and from work (connected thru truck factory radio) I really do not use it for anything else...
I have a Blackberry for my phone can't stand typing on a ipod...

No, I only carry music I listen to a lot, I don't have enough space in my iPhone.

I actually do carry it all…but I delete music that I don't play, or get tired with, off my itunes. For me, there is no sense in keeping 30gb of music on your computer…it's not like you listen to every song every day. I also use the counter on itunes and check it at the end of every month. The lowest 20 songs get deleted…no matter what it was. Then I reset the counter. Sounds like over kill, but I like my files/data organized. I started doing this after getting the ipod video 5g 30gb when I noticed that I was wasting space on thousands of songs just so I can rack up a collection of songs. No I have about 830 songs…which is enough for my longest road trips

I try to, but I can make do with a trimmed down 60ish GB version. This is why my next iPod will be a 64 gig iPad. I'm going to make do with my 80gig HDD ipod for now. I think we might get a 16 gig to mess with, and then I'll get a second gen 64 gig.

Yup. 21 GB of music on my 30 GB iPod (old one with video). I use it on road trips and to play music on the alarm clock when I'm in the bedroom or showering/shaving in the connected master bath. Sometimes connect it to the stereo in the living room when playing pool or just hanging out. I like having music whenever I'm doing anything in the house other than watching TV.

I also have a 5th Gen iPod 80GB which carries a ton of music and video, but not everything. I load it up with videos when I travel over the holidays. It's very convenient to hook into a relative's ancient TV to watch movies. I have 310GB of TV and movies and 6GB of music, so I only what I plan to actually watch on the iPod.

yeah I have the 80gb Ipod Classic and have roughly 10,472 songs in my Library and about 30 gigs of movies on my external harddrive...I only keep the music on my ipod. I'm not to big on watching movies on it. The total amount of space I have free on it is a little over 20gb

I always tried to when I had an iPod, but now I have an iPhone, I use smart playlists to keep a my "must have" music plus a regularly updating fresh selection on my iPhone instead of everything.

It would take around 137 4gb iPod shuffle's, so no.

I don't have any music on my touch, I have my shuffle full (2GB) but rarely use it. Mostly just listen to talk radio.

Yes, I carry all of my music on my 5th generation iPod Video, which lives in my car full time. I don't have time to pick and choose from a library of hundreds of albums. To me, being able to take your library with you is the primary allure of an MP3 player.

I would if I could, for sure..

However, I only have a 1gb card for my blackberry, and it only goes up to 8gb..

I think I might get a 160gb iPod
