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.
