I never understood this sort of overblown digital hoarding attitude. Can you shed some light?

  Shed some light on the fact that I like music and listen to it while working? What is an appropriate amount of music in your mind?

    Music lives in the cloud too. I have several well-defined Pandora stations. I listen to some other sources as well (WWOZ, bassdrive.com, etc). I used to argue for hosting my own email, now I don't even "host" my own music.

      You're presuming an awful lot of things here. * that one has a stable high-speed Internet connection. * that one lives in a country where Pandora and other such services work. * that the music one listens to can actually be found on Pandora and friends. * for radio stations, that one likes or is ambivalent to not being in full control of the music one listens to. * that one likes the web interface these services provide. I don't use a web interface for my e-mail, and I prefer foobar2000 for my music. I have 40 GB of music (none of which is lossless, so there's a lot of it), a lot of which is relatively obscure (e.g. fewer than 500,000 plays for the artist on last.fm), and I don't see myself getting rid of any of it any time soon.

  65gb of mp3s are more useful than 65gb of free space.
