I have the 30GB iPod and have 7.4 days (2670 songs) of music that is using slightly less than 12 GB. In addition, I could easily get rid of some of it since I will probably never listen to them on the iPod. They only stay there because there is room. I think the 20GB model should be more than enough. ken On Dec 23, 2003, at 7:12 AM, Cube List wrote: > Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 10:00:24 +0000 > Subject: [CUBE] The agony of choice! > From: Meirion Roscoe <roscoe at macunlimited.net> > Message-Id: <D3CA22B9-352E-11D8-ACCC-003065A26EEA at macunlimited.net> > > I have been informed by Father Christmas, that he is going to be > un-seasonably generous this year, which is going to leave me with > enough money for either an iPod or a CPU upgrade.
