60 gigs and i wholly intend for that shit to be full by the time i stop being a lazy asshat. at about 60% now, after owning my iaudio x5 for two months. there's enough room to have all the videos i want (all the battlestar galactica in the world, my favorite selections from the director's label series, clips of you cooking something special in the kitchen) in both their original format (so i can put the files wherever i want) and compressed to view on the player. storage of fucking proprietary apple files i'm too lazy to convert, but will be able to share with all of you douchebags that use itunes. i like completeness. i like being able to have everything with me always. i have journal articles on that thing, i have applications, i have pictures, i have the entire 18 hours of the ring cycle. i almost always listen to it on random, and i rather enjoy my ritual of clicking a few times until 'the right' song comes on. but it also works very well if i'm not paying attention, because it's all my music, therefore i like it all and will generally enjoy whatever comes on. i don't usually use my mp3 player in shorter term situations like a bus ride or a walk to the store - my primary uses are for longer periods of time, like when i'm having a vision quest in the woods for a day, or when i'm doing construction in utah and i just need to zone out and make it through the 8 hours.
in other words, i can't have a tiny little 1-2 gig flash player because i'd totally lose it.
