I know a half dozen people who have two or three thousand songs on their iPods/desktops. Most of those I know with iPods have something over 1,000, and a good percentage have entire operas or symphonies on the device -- though I don't know the opera to song ratio.

They may keep over 1000 songs on their ipods, but how many of those songs are they listening to every week? It is very easy to upload your top 100 once or twice a month, and keep the remainder on your computer.

As a side note, I use my mp3 player more for data transfer, and data backup than music. It is easier than using a disk.
