1000 Songs - Just Right?
A Jupiter Research survey reveals some interesting statistics about consumer interest in portable audio players.
According to their survey, 90% have no more than 1000 songs on their computer, while 77% of consumers would be interested in purchasing a portable music player with a 1000 song capacity.
Top features listed of interest to consumers include rechargable battery, small device size and computer connectivity.
Obvious comparisons are made towards Apple's most recent iPod Mini which appears to fit well with these desirable features.

Funny this comes up today...I just realized I have 993 songs in my computer right now. I have more Cd's but that is what I have in my computer and would have in my iPod if I had one. :(

Perhaps Apple knows what it's doing?
I agree, I think they do pretty good homework, but a 1,000 song player would not be enough room for me, I just hit 2,648 songs today. :D

Well, is obvious, I have a huge amount of CD's and all of them are in one DVD Rom disc. I had to delet about 6 CDs to make them all fit but I have music there that I do not eve listen any more like 80"s stuff.
The iPod Mini would be perfect for that, I do not see sense in getting a 15GB iPod to carry just 5GB worth of music when I'm just gonna listen to 10% of that.
I would consider an iPod with video output, that would be nice, specially for presentations and imagine the iTunes visuals in an iPod, not in the LCD of course but with a s-video output.

Guess that puts me in the 10%. 15.99 GB of music, 15 GB iPod. D'oh!

Whoa I just counted and I have 905 songs in my iTunes library for 3.14gbs, of course some of that is stuff I don't even listen too, the iPod mini seems to be in the perfect sweet spot according to this survey, now if Apple could lower the price by $50 then I bet Apple could grab a 50 to 60 percent mp3 player market share!

2716 songs... the iPod caused me to get more music since it had so much room.

I have 4970 songs at 24.66GB of space. That, my friends is 15 days, 11 hours, 28 minutes, and 35 seconds of continuous music.
What do I keep it on, when I leave my room?
A 5GB RevA iPod, of course! :rolleyes:
I really do need a new one.

Maybe now all the people who were saying that 4GB on the mini isn't enough will finally realize that unless you're a music-phile, it is, in fact, plenty. I don't think most people will even carry around their complete library with them. I know I don't.
