I like having a large number of choices. I know there are many files on my X5 I will probably never get around to hearing. But If I want to hear something and I reach for it and it's there, the cost of the memory card means nothing to me. Nothing at all. I bought mine when they were $120. I bought 3 at that price. Now I see them for $59 and I don't care even a little bit.
I remember paying $800 for a 160 mb (that's megabyte, not GB or TB). It was a full height Wren III SCSI drive and it took 2 minutes to spin up. I thought I stole it for $800. I was so pleased. The fact that I have three 128GB cards that I could stick in my nose amazes and amuses me.
I typically just play all, then delete the songs I know I will not like much anyway, so that I have remaining a sort of "Best of" selection.
I also remember trying to install a game on a friend's hard drive, but discovering there was no space to install the 3 MB game. Turns out he had only a 4 MB hard drive.
Or going from 2 MB of memory to 8 MB of memory - it made quite a difference in DooM 2.
There are two rules:
1) I'm always right
2) In case I'm not right, see 1)
