     Although TLMC is so horribly big most data hoarders can't even.

     @lanodan TLMC is disorganized and disupdated and in general a fucking mess. Like most recent update is literally a patch over last version

     For what it's worth, I think storage capacity and miniaturization is increasing faster than the amount of music produced. And lossless compression only gets better. I won't be surprised to see portable music players, tablets, phones, &c have the capacity to store 1.65 TiB of music in a few years.

     The time to load up your device may take a bit longer, tho.

     Maybe we'll see music players preloaded with all the music. Marketing such a device is something for the big labels to consider.

     @bobjonkman True. And music is also pretty unique in how we reached high quality digital distribution since at least the CD and won't need higher, so you could probably estimate pretty well how much storage you'd ever realistically need for music.
     
     Meanwhile for text, specially in the same timespan, there got improvements around encoding/formatting/… often leading to bigger data usage even when efficient, although I think compression improvements offsets that pretty well.
     And Images or worse Videos do not seem to slow down at all in terms of requiring more and more data for what's considered "high quality", and for some reason software, even ones without anything multimedia seems to also grow similarly.
