Damn them!

The term for 2^30 is the Gibibyte.

Don't blame apple, they're not the only ones doing it. It's standard procedure in the industry. For example, this is my hard drive, a 320GB hard disk.

Guh. Well, that blows.

It has 320,062,062,592 bytes of space, or 298 Gibibytes, or either 320 or 298 Gigabytes of space.

Yeah. Just because it's being done elsewhere doesn't make it suck less.

Can i join? I have a 32gb iTouch.
And a broken 1st gen. Nano.

Boo-hoo. I lost 9GB on a 120 GB ipod. My life is over. Where will I put all of my music?!?!

Seriously, even if you have that much music, you can't listen to all of it. There's some you get sick of, or maybe even some you don't even know what it is. For the former, just get rid of it. For the latter, listen to it, and then make a decision on whether to get rid of it or not.

Mm. Whatever. I wasn't complaining, because it's unlikely that I will ever fill up all that space. I was just curious as to why that much space was missing.

I love the way you read things.

double post.

Also, I can have a crapload of movies on my iPod as well. It's not like I'm going to have only music on there and nothing else. I can have music videos, tv shows, whatever. And photos. iPods are solely for music.

today is my birthday. I just got an 3G iPod Touch, 16gigs.

:D
