My current music collection is 399GB (mostly lossless Flacs).
I'm not buying a phone with 512GB-1TB of storage just for my music, 5G is available everywhere and my home internet connection is plenty fast. I can just stream it from home - maybe sync some locally if I'm going off grid.
And moving files manually one by one to my phone? Oof. It's not the early 2000s, we have better solutions.

- theshrike79 1y ago$300 will also get me a used mini PC[0] with 2TB of storage[1] I can set up at home in an evening with Navidrome+Audiobookshelf and not have to buy a phone with massive storage at all! :D And as a bonus everyone in my family can listen to the same collection without having to upgrade to a 1TB phone. And I can use the same source in my car, on my laptop, desktop etc. All without having to waste 400GB of space for music storage on every device.

- rpgbr 1y agoI mean, you’ll never listen to 399 GB of music at the same time. So, not really an issue.
