When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    My phone still has an SD card slot. So I can put my 64 GB SD card inside and have more music offline than my 4 GB iPod could ever have.

    The iPod is a nice little piece of almost antique tech. But I’d still be using my phone over it.

      No one can argue that 64gb of storage holds more music than 4gb of storage but 4gb still holds hundreds of songs.

        Depends on the compression. Yes, you could fit 500 songs on a 4 GB iPod, as the adverts constantly loved to remind everyone about. But it was the early 2000s, so the quality wasn’t good, and then we’re still talking about a pretty high compression even back then.
