iPod Touch; 16gig vs. 32gig

I'm trying to decide which is more worth it for me; the 16gig or the 32gig iTouch.

I don't think I'll be putting in any full length movies unless I'm going on a roadtrip. But then I would remove them afterwards. If I do want to put in a movie however, I don't want to have to delete a bunch of stuff t make room for it. I will probably have some videos.

I have a lot of music, as far as how much exactly I don't know. I'm going to have to make a playlist when I get home to see roughly how much music I'll put in it. If I were to guess... maybe between 1500-2000 songs? Maybe more?

I plan on being an app junky. How big are apps?

I probably won't be storing any pics.

I wan't to have the space so that I don't have to choose which songs or albums I have to remove in order to make room for new ones. Thats the situation with my first gen Mini. I am constantly having to delete stuff to put more stuff in. I want to avoid that.

Does anyone have one of these pieces of technology? What do you think?

How about neither? iPods are so overrated. :P

(I'd go for the 16Gb because it's cheaper)

Personally, I'm going to get the 32gb when I get the chance. It may seem like overkill, but when I stop and think about it-is there ever going to be a time where I'm not wanting more and more music?

I'm going to withhold my answer until you tell me how many gigs your music folder is.the_foreign_guy

It should only be around 4-6 gb

Apps are so tiny that they're barely worth considering when it comes to size.

I've got 2300 songs, maybe six or seven hours of TV and movies (some of it low res which I encoded for the iPod Classic years ago), dozens of apps, and three episodes of eight or nine audio and video podcasts (including the 300MB+ episodes of the 1up Show) and I have 9GB free on my 32GB Touch.

Also consider that you'll only have about 15GB on a 16GB unit, since companies still lie about sizes. The 32GB really only has 30GB of space.

The 32 will likely hold its value better too, if you decide to sell it next year when they release the next iteration of the Touch.

16 Gb should be enough, I have a little over 600 songs which is about 4 Gb. Movies are usually around 1 Gb in size, probably less if its converted right. Apps are not that big in size, also you can only hold 3 screens worth of apps at a time anyway.Jack-o-Thompson

[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="DJ_Lae"] Nah, I just kept adding applications and didn't even think about a potential limit. Is it supposed to give you an error or something? I was adding them all directly from the Touch app store, though, not copying them from iTunes, dunno if there's a limit that way.Jack-o-Thompson

16GB sounds like it'd be more than fine for you really. But hey, if you've got the extra $100 lying around burning a hole in your pocket, you can never have TOO MUCH space. :)septemberluc

32... 16 isn't enough.. I have about 2000 songs and had 6 hours of movie on it and barely have any space left.horgen123

Think of it this way. It's a piece of tech that you will use for years. It only takes about 1 more paycheck to get something with twice as much space. I bought the 32 gb off ebay. It's new, still in the factory package. It was $350, free shipping, and no sales tax. Consider that...lilburtonboy748

Zune 120 gb. It gets games, videos, radio, and it doesn't have one of those smudgy "Tap and pray" touch screens.

Oh, and it's $250. much more bang for your buck.jaydough

Wuts dat? No advanced wi-fi internet browser, so you can just watch videos without dling them? No thanks, you can keep the zune with too much space.
