According to the BBC

“A survey carried out by Jupiter Research has found that almost all the consumers questioned were storing no more than 1,000 songs on their home PC…..digital music players with capacities of 5,000 songs will provide too much space for most people.”

I find this suprising. I have a digital music player with space for 5000 songs. I do not find it too big. I would find a digital music player with space for 1000 songs too small.

Quick sum…. on an average album there are probably about 12 songs… 1000 songs is therefore about 80 albums. My CD collection far exceeds this. And that’s before we start looking at singles and *gasp* filesharing.

I’m also worried that less than half (49%) of the people surveyed felt that hooking a digital music player up to a computer was a necessity….
