Bit the bullet,...bought a 16gb Micro SD
Well, I'm taking a trip to KC and wanted to listen to some of,..or more of my mp3's tracks as I travel. So, I got tired of waiting for the infamous 32gb micro SD card and bought a 16gb card for my Bold 9000. That said, I'll have nearly 17gb of storage with the built-in memory. That's about a gig shy of what I need to load all of my 17+gb mp3 tracks. Oh well,...
Cheers to all...

I could probably fill up 32GB if I put all my music on microSD cards, but I usually listen to Slacker radio that I cache so I haven't put more than 5GB of music on my 16GB card.

I got tired of waiting too. I have one of these on my keychain with a 16GB card in it:
... and another 16GB in my phone. I keep a bunch of music, wallpapers, and a couple backed up apps on the main one in my phone, and the one on my keychain has a bunch of movies and a handful of audio books on it for when I'm traveling (and a bunch of portable computer apps and utilities I like to have with me). I don't have to swap them out often, but it gets me over the size limitation when I'm on the the road and don't want to remove a bunch of music.
I also use the free version of padersync to talk to my FTP RAID server, so if I really need something I forgot, I can download it from wherever I have cell service or Wi-Fi. - 12-21-2009, 11:27 PM #5
32 isn't enough. You guys that have room to spare with all your mp3s on a 4 GB card either don't have very much music or have it ripped to a really, really crappy quality (<128 kbps). Or you are too young to have amassed a large collection. Or you are too old and have thrown away all of your LPs and can't be bothered to replace everything. Personally, it took me awhile, but I managed to rip all 600 of my CDs...
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 12-21-2009, 11:43 PM #6 Most of my mp3s are 256 kbps. I also have a lot of FLAC and OGG files that I never converted to mp3. I listen to them on my PC (Boston Acoustics computer speakers).

the 50K CrackBerry challenge - 12-22-2009, 02:22 AM #7 Like the poster above me, I am neither too old nor too young to be properly keeping a digital music collection. All my mp3s are 320Kbps and I store the majority of my music in flac format, which is even bigger. Last time I checked I had about 400GB of music on my file server, and that's before you start counting full-length live recordings and any of my other media. Originally Posted by sperho
Maybe you're right though, perhaps I AM too old to understand why you'd need more than 32GB at once. I'm old enough to have had plenty of handheld media players, and old enough to know that 32GB is enough to play 320K mp3 files for about 9 days, without ever taking a break or repeating a track. How can you possibly argue that that's not enough to store on your phone? You need more music than that on your person ALL THE TIME? When was time you left your house for more than 9 days and needed continuous audio playback the entire time?
And if you REALLY think you need more than that, why not just do what I mentioned above and set up an FTP server? I guarantee you won't find a 2TB handheld, but that's how much usable space is on my RAID server, which I can access from anyplace with a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. Don't assume that people who can get by on a smaller media card all like low quality files and don't collect music like you do. They may have simply found more practical methods of storing data.

I have a 16gb on my Bold too..only about 5gb of songs right now though. I enjoy movies, songs and other video clips!

I have a 4gb sd card with about 5 pictures on it. I don't care enough about music to carry It with me all the time, so which of your offensive stereotypes do I fit in?

16GB is not enough for me. My music collection is edited down on my BB from what it is on my iPod. 32GB would be enough, as long as I didn't start storing more than a couple of movies in addition to music. I have about 3600 songs. I would have probably another 3000, though, if I ever ripped my vinyl collection. Which shows you how old I am.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 12-22-2009, 07:39 AM #11 Ha...if I had 400 GB of music, I might think the same way... That said, my collection is about 100 GB or so in low compression format. I take everything to 128 kpbs mp3 for mobile use and at that rate it's about 50 GB. Yes, I could listen to music for many days in a row, but personally, I simply like to have my entire collection to choose from, if possible; afterall it really isn't that big. If not, it isn't a big deal. Heck, I don't even have a 16GB card yet. My point was not to complain, but to remind people that one's person's too big is another's too small and wrapping one's head around that is simple: people obviously have different preferences.

On it, I not only carry music, but video, podcasts, pictures, applications, and other various documents - the very kinds of things I want my computer to be able to store on it. As such, 32GB is still too small. That said, a user-removeable 16GB storage card that is the size of a fingernail is very, very impressive. I'm not complaining about that either.

still satisfied with my 4 gig card.

with all them songs on your phone, doesn't it make it run slow or lag slightly?
- 12-22-2009, 03:50 PM #16 Only after a battery pull...cuz it has to scan through the SD card...but after that..no lag for me. Originally Posted by siLa.Roo I use my bold as an ipod all the time. I'm thinking of getting an extra battery and that external charger...
- 12-23-2009, 02:21 AM #17 No. It could affect performance if you store them on the system volume and not the SD card, but in OS 5 you can't write to the system volume anyway. Originally Posted by siLa.Roo

I'm constantly amazed by how compact storage has become, and how easy it is to carry or stay connected to all your data these days. Originally Posted by sperho

but I believe 16GB is not supported by BOLD 9000
