I think I need a bigger iPod
I've been getting pretty close to the storage limit of my 30GB iPod for a while now just with music. I'd pretty much given up on synchronizing other content like photos and movies. But over the weekend I did something I've been meaning to for a while: I synced the contents of my MacBook Pro -- my "daily driver" -- with my Power Mac G5, which has a separate music library I've compiled over several years and transferred from machines dating back to my blue and white Power Mac G3, which I got in 1999.
Given that history, I'm actually surprised that there was only 19GB of difference between the two systems -- about 2700 songs, I think, give or take. But that's enough to push my iPod music library to about 50GB, which is much more than this poor 30GB can handle.
The problem is that it seems whenever I use my iPod, I go for the one or two songs, albums or artists that iTunes doesn't copy over as part of its automatically managed iPod playlist. I suppose I could get smarter about using iTunes, but where's the fun in that, when I know there's an 80GB model that could comfortably contain everything I have, including videos, photos (including full-res photos from Aperture), games and the like!
