Your Entire CD Collection In Your Pants Pocket

Removing the top cover of the case reveals Hitachi's tried-and-true technology, in the shape of a 4 GB Microdrive. In Archos' case, the HMS360404D5CF00 model is used. It has a 1" platter spinning at 3600 RPM. The Hitachi drives' temporary memory storage, at 128 kB, is a far cry away from current 2.5" notebook hard drives, which sport caches of up to 16 MB.

my entire CD collection does not fit on 4gb
to give you an idea, I have ~80 CD's in my car for starters

Sidney · 5th May 2005, 14:27

Love mobile or long commute

jmke · 5th May 2005, 14:34

I'm 7min from my current workplace now

so those CD are less frequently used, in new car I'll have MP3 player, so that'll cut down on quantity of media also

how much cds would you get on 1 gb? in very good quality mp3

jmke · 5th May 2005, 15:12

Good MP3 quality is 160-192kbps, which means 4min is ~8mb filesize.

~7 CD's

Sidney · 5th May 2005, 15:13

In my case, about 5 megs to a song = ~200 for 1GB

how am I gonna fit my 4000+ cds, 500 lps and all the rest on that crap?!

I'm currently making a selection of best tracks off every cd, should take me 6 years

I keep my originals at home, my CD changer has a tendancy to scratch disks, not a pleasant experience
