I have a 120 GB iPod Classic and it's only about 2/3 full and I have trouble managing it in the car.
For those using streaming...is your phone reliable for that? For instance, on my phone when using last.fm, I'm fine in wifi but on 3G there are often enough delays to make it unusable.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

logic has never entered into the equation. The back of every CD, tape and vinyl I've ever bought clearely says "unauthorised copying, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting of this recording is prohibited."

Depends on how good my 3G connection is, but I usually have no issues. Subsonic basically downloads all the songs in your queue to your phone while streaming, so once the downloads are complete you're basically not streaming anymore. I do sometimes like to have the first song buffered before playing so I don't have to deal with a data starvation scenario. Alternatively, if I'm headed out I'll quickly download an album over my home wifi as I'm out the door. The other nice thing is you can set a reasonably large cache size (I have mine set to 10 GB) so your downloaded albums are stored - when you want to listen to something again, it's there, no streaming needed. I also should mention there's a web interface for Subsonic such that I can access the server from my laptop at the office, and listen to all my music that way. My wife does the same at her job.

I know, I was having that in mind. Which one of those would the cloud-streaming breach IYO?

AudioGalaxy is quite reliable - they also recode the audio for optimum performance.

All of them and none of them - the disclaimer was produced back in the year dot when even copying was harldy something an average Joe could do in the discomfort of his own home, and while Internet storage, (Meh, I hate "the cloud" - what a contrived marketing tool that is... spit!.. it's called the Internet and we really don't need another name for it until the fifth thursday of 2112, just after lunchtime (indoors if it's raining)), is not broadcasting I'm sure the fleet of overpaid corportate lawyers will spin it that way and rope-in copying, lending and hiring and public performance to confuse and confound a befuddled judge who is convinced that wax-cylinders will steal your soul and Mr Edison should be shot a dawn.
sorry, what was the question?

There's nowt wrong with an Archos.
Once you have a 250Gb harddrive and a lithium battery to power it you are looking at something approaching the same size as a Archos 5 anyway.
In fact my Archos-5 is actually smaller than my WD-250Gb Passport external harddrive. |
Thanks to your suggestion I’ve just brought an Archos 70 250gb and It’s perfect. Finally I have a device where I can fit all my music in it. I hate deleting albums from my iPod; it really has become a survival of the fittest with it. I’m living proof of natural selection!
