Music in our pockets

Ever wondered about the sheer amount of music the youth carries around in its pockets everyday? Think about this. Boomboxes, then walkmen used to be a big thing, but in today's world of file portability, multi-platform conformity and supercompression, the youth ends up carrying around SO much music.
Today, for example, I had a 6600 with a 512 memcard, 380 MB of which is brimming with music, along with an mp3 player with a capacity for 256 MB. 635 MB of music approximates to 182 songs, which in turn approximates to 736 minutes of music. Over twelve hours of music right in your pockets - and each song you have handpicked.

And all this apart from a pocket radio. Someone should research this and the consequences.

And one more thing - not a SINGLE song is paid for.
