i don't listen to music that way (a series of albums that i rotate through, or a playlist that i listen to over and over.)
i have issues with routine. when i commuted to work, i had to go a different way all the time, even though i'm terrible with directions, just because i would get irritated if i kept going the same way and felt confined. when i get up in the morning, i don't do things in a specific order (ie eat breakfast > check email > wash face etc.) if i go to a restaurant, i have to order a different thing than what i got last time, even if it means eating something that i don't really like that much. there are distinct disadvantages to NOT following those kind of routines but for whatever reason i avoid them. so it's the same thing with music... even if i love a song/album/playlist etc, i generally don't keep it on rotation.
i do agree that most people who have an ipod with that much space probably don't use all of it for music though. but mine is continuously full :/ some people do use it for transporting files also. i did that at work for files which were big enough that it was faster to put them on a hard drive vs. emailing/ftp'ing them.
