What are my options for music storage?
I just want to be able to play my music from my iphone, and store it on someone elses hard drive. I have about 160 GB+ in music, and more than the 25k in songs allowed by iMatch, I doubt that they will ever raise the limit, so I suppose my only choice is to go for one of the pay by gigabite things which would set me back quite a lot.
There are all kinds of free Clouds where you can stash this, if you split it up. I have music on Amazon Music, and several Cloud accounts that came with various programs on my HD. The Amazon app lets me search my HD for whatever folders of music I select, and then I can download or remove things as I wish. That means I can 2-step call down things from a Cloud to my HD, then thru Amazon onto my phone, if I'm changing it All in bulk. As professional career musicians, since 1971, we own so much recorded music - several thousand CDs, tons of vinyl, cassettes, RTR, etc - all in process of digitization, but it will take YEARS - that we have had to bar-code scan and database it all. I carry a separate mp3 player with several storage cards - but I usually will consolidate what I'm carrying, according to what I *need* right then for work. You do NOT have to be like a musical Bag Lady - dragging everything you OWN around with you - as long as you keep really good track of where it is stashed. So - some in Cloud storage, and some in storage CARDS for the player works best for me. I do not need to carry every instrument I own, either, when going to a gig - just what I'm playing *then*. If you were in the music business as long as us, you woudl see that 25K is only a piece of the pie, compared to what others of us own - we just do not need to access it All at the same time. ("You call that a knife? THIS is a knife!"). My adult son is also a professional musician, conductor, and recordist - and HE back us his music files in terrabytes. Seriously. Who raised this kid?
- What to do about my iphone storage saying I'm using up way more photo storage than I actually am? My storage says I have 132 photos that's using up most of my storage; almost 3 GB. I have only 52 photos and 15 videos in my phone. It seems like it may be using storage from pictures I deleted, but apparently they're still using space? ? Has this happened to anyone else. I've taken my phone to an apple store, and I didn't get any answers.
- Options for an playing music from Iphone 5 in older vehicle? I have an older vehicle with a cd player and the cigarette lighter port that you can use for Iphone 5 chargers and etc but no aux port… Is there something on the market I can put in the lighter port that can help play music in the car from my iphone 5? I have looked and can find nothing except buying a new radio system which I really do not want to do, was hoping for a cheaper fix. You can post links that you find or tell me where and what to look for and I will be grateful.
- On the I cloud on the Iphone what does total storage and available storage mean? Basically it says total storage 5gb and availible storage 5 gb. Does that mean there's already 5 gb of files on the Icloud?
- Is there a similar iPhone 4 case to the speck candy shell with more color options? I really like the sturdiness of the candy shell and the soft inside of the case. But I wish there were more color options. (I know there's a lot, but none that really appeal to me. ) thanks!
