I think ND now has more music than will fit on a 160GB iPod.
ND has enough music that God Himself goes "Dude" then hits Shuffle and zones.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am not looking forward to burning all the CDs I need to to back-up my iTunes library.
I'd just get a big external hard drive for backup. They're getting pretty cheap these days (especially when you compare the cost to the hassle of backing up your music on many CDs).

yeah, I just paid over $800 for data recovery. I want a non-HD back-up.

My iTunes library fits comfortably on an 8GB iPod Touch
I would die. I say that melodramatically, with a little first world swoon thrown in just for kicks.

I would've been so disappointed if he didn't. My world would have been askew.

I had to pick and choose which songs would go on the iPhone. Now the 16GB is out, and would be fine. But, I do not have it. My dad is making noises about getting an iPhone. I'm thinking about telling him that I'll pay the extra $100 if he gets a 16GB, and give him my 8GB, all set up.

Well, with a HD backup, you just have to make sure your back-up HD is working. If it dies, you gotta run out and buy another one right away. So there's a gamble that you might have to spend $ in the future for a new drive, plus the slight risk of your iTunes library dying on your machine before you can replace the back-up HD. OTOH I've had old backup CDs of music become unreadable....
The ideal solution? Two back-up HDs. Or, you know, a disk array of some sort.
I think as people rely more and more on iTunes (or similar) for their music, and as HD prices continue to fall, you'll see more and more people having multiple HDs for backup.

I've heard that the next iteration of the iPhone is due soon, probably at the next WWDC in June, so it may be worth the while to at least wait until then. Otherwise you may get jammed up with another $200 reduction in price...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oh wait, I have a 16GB Touch, not an 8GB. But still, half the capacity of my old 30GB iPod Classic and I'm not hurting for space.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is why I'm scared to get rid of the CDs I really like!

I'm still happy I got rid of original CDs. I can get a lot more songs on each CD by burning them as MP3s, plus I have very few in-tact albums on my iTunes anymore, there usually at least 1-2 songs I dislike on an album.
