I agree - 640k ought to be enough for anybody.
I absolutely agree! :laugh: But think about it if x = **"The most generous player today can only hold around 40,000 songs" **and **y = **"a nanotechnology breakthrough that could increase storage capacity by 150,000 times" result = x * y; result = way more than a butt load! Mike

True, it is rather... staggering. We can only hope that this technological leap will be used for purposes of goodness and niceness, rather than heavy metal... :^)

Aw geez Mike - here I was trying to 'encourage' :rolleyes: Christian to participate, and now I'm dangerously close to having a Dean Martin tune stuck in my head for the evening. Thanks. Serves me right I suppose. But still... :sigh:

Sorry - always a hazard with these tune related posts. Maybe we should have a 'Music Box' forum. Enter at own risk. :)

Was watching a Dean Martin infomercial earlier and had a lot of stuff from his old shows and of course that song was being played often! So its been in my head, or circling anyway, for a while now! Mike

Wait, unless i made an error on calcy here, that would hold about 10240000 uncompressed 16-bit stereo, wave files. And of course if you use a better lossless format, like flac or something, that could potentially double. Hey, now those crazy 128kbps MP3 people won't have any excuse for their low quality audio. I know some people don't mind it, but i just can't enjoy music encoded at such bitrates.
My current favourite word is: Bacon!

When I get born-again-Christians come to my door and ask what church I go to I usually make up some weird sounding orthodox buddist or some crap. I've gotten into some interesting conversations if they don't tak the hint and just go away! Mike

AHAHAHAHA... some people go to extreme efforts to get rid of people at their doors... you know if you just say "go away" and shut the door it works better, or as many people in regional Australia are doing, come to the door with a gun... after the person craps themselves, i bet they leave lol

People like me.
The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

Who amongst us could legally afford to own 500,000 GB's (isn't that 500 TB's?) of music?

Really? I don't have any knowledge in this field, but I thought in NTFS, MBR supports only 2*1024 GB as the maximum partition size. I might be completely wrong since I cane barely recall this value. Considering that limitation we need 500,000 / 2048 > 244 partitions. what happens to drive letters then(c, d, ..., z, ?)? [edit]Is it possible to have 1 partition? [/edit] Also I think this much memory exceeds maximum volume size, considering current XP cluster size. By the way talking on assumptions that are not true, is a bad mistake I sometimes make. You seems to be knowledgeable in this field. I'm interested to know more. I'm specially interested to know how long does it take to format this partition considering latencies like usual today (nand) flash memories.
