Question samsung - no sd card - size - run out

[towngirl]

The newer samsungs do not take sd cards.

most of the new phones seem about 256GB

What happens of you run out of space?

​

You will never (legally) fill the storage with songs, pics, vids, etc..

Any idea how much recorded music there is in the world?

 

[Sizzers]

Well if you run out of storage there are three options or one outcome.

a) The Cloud, and thinking of which and as you like your music I would recommend....

b) A flash drive

c) A 512 gig phone, but reading through this at some point you'll probably run out of that too.

d) Or....You're s*****d!!

Did you intentionally only read the words in my statement selectively to make that statement?

Let me dumb it down for you because you are irritating me.

Legally = Purchase
256GB = 256,000MB
320kbps ≈ 5MB
Songs - 256,000÷5= 51,200 Songs (using 1000, not 1024)
51,200 Songs at ~ 0.99¢ = $53,248 (including average tax 4%)

Forget $ vs € vs £. Now tell me, what idiot spends even half that or even a quarter in music purchases of mp3s of all things?

If one is going to pay for cloud storage for music, you might as well just stop buying music and stream it. You'll be using data anyway and for the monthly costs of cloud storage plus buying music, you might as well stream and listen to whatever you want.
Use the phone storage for pictures and videos. Googles included storage for photos should last a long time. It took forever to even get close in (only counting pictures) pictures to reach 15GB.

At a certain point once becomes a hoarder and better practices need to take place like offloading to a PC or external drive. Put a few movies on your phone and swap them.

Mmm! You are way overy-paying for your music. Divide it by 1000 to get nearer the mark of $500 dollars for a music collection acquired over fifty odd years.

I wouldn't pay.

I also don't think the cloud or whatever it is, holds my music unless I scale down, big time.

I don't have steam music.. not that I pay for.


Times change. Can't burn my cd and put it on phone. Can't burn and keep in computer.

Getting auld.

Just won't do music on my phone any more
