This article make me think about the kind of devices that will be used to store huge amounts of music.
Specifically the kind of search that this devices will allow, for me is a real trouble to deal with 200+ songs. It would be awesome to tell the device to play 8 random Jack Johnson songs, then 6 random songs from Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge album and finally to play "U Can't Touch This", or to make it play those 15 songs in a random order.
But what happens when you don't remember the artist, album or song name?
When you can have unlimited music, it's time to think in the next ipod :P
- cstejerean 19y agothis is a good point. i have a hard time dealing with one of songs I download or purchase. Since they are not in an album (and are often by an artist that I barely have a couple of songs from) I tend to forget about them after a while and never listen to it for a long time, until I accidentally stumble upon it. I can imagine finding songs you like out of all the songs ever recorded would be pretty tough.
