What's a girlfriend? I've never heard of these mystical creatures.

Official DonutDeflector Dictionary:

Girlfriend (n.) - A female human that which one has a friendship with. Such a friendship may or may not be linked to dating/hugging/kissing/listening to audio together/etc.

Dude, where can I find one of those?!

YKYAAW you're sad that you could only afford a 64GB MicroSD card and not a 128GB one because it won't hold all your music 

 Can only hold about 2000 songs in WMA Lossless format

Man, now I'm reminded of the time I met a female cashier at Best Buy who liked lots of the metal bands I do...I regret not at least becoming friends with her. Another girl I went to high school with also likes metal and tons of other things I like, such as video games, but we live a thousand miles away from each other now.
 
In any case, it should be easy enough to show someone the benefits of high fidelity audio gear: just let them listen!

Me: Hugging (check) Kissing (check) audio... (Hmmmmm I SHALL CONVERT) Wish me luck on my campaign, comrades. XD

You could convert the lossless files to 256 kbps AAC and have plenty of room. Some can't hear a difference between them.

Meh, I prefer to have things in lossless, just in case I do magically get some crazy resolving system someday. If I need to, I'll go down to 320kbps mp3s, but no less.

But I'm talking about for your portable system.
 
For desktop systems with external hard drives and so on, you don't need to worry about space. You obviously wouldn't delete the lossless files when you make lossy copies.
 
And by the way, 256 kbps AAC is just as good or arguably better than 320 kbps MP3. I know a guy who is a professional in the music industry who has some seriously nice gear, including a speaker system which he tweaks endlessly, yet he just uses 256 kbps AAC because he can't hear a difference between it and lossless.

That's interesting; at some point I'll compare the same files, but for the moment I'll stick with lossless (just because). And at the moment, my 10 year old PC that's less powerful than the iPod in my pocket only has ~80GB of memory.

How much space does your entire digital music collection take up? (Lossless + any lossy downloads you have.)

Just checked the tracking for my new headphones. Currently less than 20 miles away from my location! I'm being silly getting excited about that fact, since I know they're coming tomorrow. I am considering going to sleep early - one, to make sure I'm awake in case it arrives earlier in the day, and two, to make perceived time pass by more quickly so it's like I get them even faster!
 
(YKYAAW what I just said. lol)

26GB right now, probably up to ~30GB tomorrow when I do a bunch of ripping. That plus a small portion (maybe around 20-30GB) of my dad's 80GB WMA Lossless collection.

Well, when the time comes, you can get an external hard drive or two to back up your files. But according to what you've told me, you'd be able to easily fit your entire lossless collection plus some of your father's collection onto the card.

YKYAAW the first thing you do upon finding out that the money you deposited into your bank account has cleared is order a line out dock cable with one day shipping.

YKYAAW you have a two page long list of CDs you want to buy 

 
Main reason I wanted the 128GB is so I wouldn't have to worry in the future when I get more CDs, though I probably will put some single songs on the FiiO (don't exactly need Skee-Lo's whole "I Wish" album... [YKYAAW you buy full CDs for a single song in CD quality]) to have a bit more space; I have a few albums I only really bought for one or two songs
