Copy 100 hours of music files to your phone and you'll be entertained
for a long, but without a good data base you won't be able to find a
specific song if you want it. That's easier to do with CDs.


HAHA. FAR easier to query search for a song in an automatically
generated database of perhaps thousands of songs, than it is to search
through hundreds of CD's manually!!!


How often to you (or anyone) search for a single song?


er weren't YOU the one who said you "won't be able to find a specific
song if you want it"?


When I want to do
that, maybe a few times a year, I go to the Internet. And usually the
song I'm seeking is something that isn't on CD, or at least on one of my
own CDs anyway.


Always check my own database first, have most of what I will ever want,
and takes me less time than checking the internet. The database is
updated with one click.


But this is a matter of how you choose to listen to music.


Yep, in the car I just have a couple of SD cards and rarely search for
anything. I don't have anything on the cards I dont want to listen to.


And, as someone else said, if you use cloud storage for your music,
you need a reliable Internet connection, and depending on what kind
of data plan you have, the meter might be running while you're groovin'.


I simply cant imagine trying to live stream music in a car, or why you
would ever want to!


Oh, I do it all the time! It's called "listening to the radio." We have
a couple of good classical music stations and, at times, jazz stations,
that can keep my ears occupied and my brain not distracted from driving.


Well I'm happy with what I have already without having to pay data
charges, but we all get to make our own choices. CD's not usually my
choice though!
