Right then, I have Vista on the laptop at home, which also my music collection on it (ripped from CD), all sitting in c:\users\simon\music. I have iTunes installed, which takes care of the ripping/library shenanigans. I have a 32gb Ipod and I have an Android phone with a (new) 32Gb SD card.
ITunes tells me I have 20gb of music. My Ipod (unsurprisingly) shows the same. So, thought I, a 32gb SD card for the phone will do just the job to hold all my music on there too.
So, I copied the stuff from my existing (16gb) SD card onto the new one and there was about 30gb left on it after the other Android stuff went on. I went into Explorer in Vista and tried to copy everything in my c:/users/simon/Music folder onto the phone SD card, only to be told that there is not enough space. When I click Properties on the Music folder shows as a gnat’s over 30gb. Eh?
So, then I think I’ll just copy it straight from iTunes. When I do a select all and then a copy/paste, it comes up as copying 11gb? Eh?
So, in summary:
Windows folder properties for music folder says 30gb
iTunes library size says 20gb
Copy and paste from iTunes says 11gb
Eh?
