    We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in… whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.

      That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I’m so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.

        Honestly 5 gb is thousands of songs, especially if they’re not FLAC / mp3 320.

        It won’t be your entire library if you’re a music buff but it’s days worth of music.
