Now I’ve gone and done it!  I’ve almost filled up my Zune, and I have more to add.  What to do??   Right now I’m paring down some of the stuff I don’t listen to all that often, and I’m only able to load about 2½ hours of video (three one-hour TV episodes) at a time now.  Podcasts take up very little room, and I only subscribe to about five.

I’ve been tempted to get a 2nd Zune just for video, as I could load up a lot of my favorite TV episodes, cartoons and movies on there, and save my main Zune for audio.  Thing is, 120GB just is not enough!  I could have gotten more music on there had I gone with a lesser compression setting, but then I wouldn’t have liked the sound quality.  I had guessed I could fit 20,000 songs on the Zune, and if I get rid of the video, my guess may be right on the money.

In the future if drive prices drop, I may attempt surgery and put in the 240GB Toshiba hard drive as an upgrade.  I have a lot more that I’d like to put on there, including a lot of needle drops.

I’m still debating what to get for a memory-based player.  I’d really like a smaller Zune, like the 8GB, or I may get the Sansa Clip 8GB since it is smaller, easier to clip on, and not to mention that it’s cheaper (about half as much as the Zune).  Thing is, I prefer the Zune’s larger screen and interface.  But I don’t really need that for something that’ll see a lot of outdoor use.
