    What do people store their music on? I've tons of old CDs that l need to convert digitally so that they can be thrown. I have a 2gb 2nd generation Nano so l need an upgrade, I've only just found out they've been discontinued!

    Spotify (Apple Music or Amazon Music are also available) - has just about everything you could ever want.

    Although plenty of music still on the old computer.

    Just use my android phone for general out & about stuff - 256gb sd card holds more stuff than I'll ever need. For running/gym, I just bought a tiny Victure player from Amazon. Spring clip, takes cards up to 128gb, plays every format (apart from .aiff, for some reason) and has half-decent bluetooth!! Just £20

    I've got all mine on a laptop and a USB hard drive. Also got them on my phone, a memory stick in the car (which plays through the car radio) and an old phone in the motorhome (which is USB connected to the radio). I re-encoded them all to 64 bit (FM radio quality, perfectly ok in the car etc) to reduce the size a bit.
    I've got about 80Gb of MP3s at 128bit.

    I had a friend who told me the same thing, he laughed at my little music player. Then we went out of range of a mobile signal.

    I’m still using my iPod classic 160gb, it’s discontinued too as apple couldn’t get in on the internet. It’s been full for about 10 years now too

    There are ways to convert the iPod to using SD cards if you still want to use it.

    Woah there! Don’t be throwing your CDs! I’ve just started collecting them again. Happy to give you a fair price if there’s any in there that I’m after. The rest, stick in a box and flog to musicMagpie.

    I get rid of all mine years ago and subscribed to Spotify so I can download to my phone whatever I want for on the move, sonos throughout the house.

    But what I wished I'd done is written down or photographed every album first because without that visual cue of scanning across a shelf there's loads of great music I will have forgotten.
