i have too much music. ipod is stuffed. itunes is overstuffed. i have a 40g ipod but that's just the advertised size. the actual size is less, plus with the software, that only leaves you with 37g to use. i filled up about 98% of the ipod, then borrowed some cds from friends to expand my musical horizons, and now my itunes is overstuffed. i have to clear out the crap that i don't listen to and know i won't be listening to so that i can sync the ipod. i could go to manual instead of automatic, but i want the ipod to fully reflect itunes. this will also help to keep me from having musical bloat. of course, it would be much easier if apple would simply release a 60g ipod.
