With disks on mp3 players getting bigger, the time is fast approaching where compressing into mp3 will not be necessary just to fit onto the disk. By my calculations I could fit 45 uncompressed CD's onto my 30 gig iPod and already 60 gig versions are available. My question is, are the batteries up to the job if (when) I go down this route? Obviously pulling the larger files from the disk will eat more battery, however does anyone know how much more?
A second point is, if my assumptions are correct, what is the point of buying mp3 tracks online when you can buy the CD, rip your own mp3, and have the uncompressed file on the shelf. If the world does go uncompressed, is there a future for the online stores in a world of limited bandwith?
