The crucial factor is how much music you have. I have 150 albums which take up 12GB so 16GB is definitely not enough for me. If you don't see your music growing beyond 10GB, I'll say 16GB is enough.

Or you use spotify and avoid the entire issue.

I guess if you want to listen to music on your mobile you have to store it locally even with spotify.

I thought the point of spotify was streaming the bastards so it didnt take up space.

Trying the "vi" thing :P .

This happens after i hit enter "vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mymoves.list":

And nothing happens if i try to write stuff. If i press "d" though it says "Delete 1 lines (1 chars) using [D]".

To start inserting, you can press "i"... when you're done typing, you can press ESC to go back to command mode, where you can type commands starting with a colon (":")... i.e. to save and quit...
:wq

(the colon means you're giving a command, w means "write the file" and "q" means quit)

This assumes you gave the filename at the command line, if you only launched vi without a filename (i.e.: only just typed "vi" ) you can insert text and finally write out the file with a filename like this:

:w /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mymoves.list

and then later quit with:

:q

If you've made a horrible, horrible mistake and you want to quit without writing the file without the changes you've made since loading, you can quit with a panic, like so:

:q!

This will tell vi to just quit without writing anything.

I hope this helped.

I think the point is to have unlimited music. Streaming is not an option for me, you'd need an unlimited data plan, good reception everywhere you go and unlimited battery life. When I was listening to internet radio on my N900 battery was run-down pretty fast.

Oh, I just assume people have good reception everywhere they go, have a usb cable and have a shitton of mb included in their monthlies

.

its very very common over here. i think 98% of the country has GSM network, and 3g isnt far behind iirc.

sorry for making assumptions.

This seems normal. As a normal user you shouldn't be able to write files out to anything in /etc like that. Precede the mv command with a sudo. i.e.:

sudo mv /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/mymoves.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

(You don't need to retype the filename at the end, if the destination is a folder... and to be safe, end the folder name with a / so you can get notified whether it had properly put it into an existing directory or else it'll create a FILE with the name sources.list.d if you don't.)

Again, hope that helps. Seems like common Linuxy stuff, so far.

But that require data usage and only practical if you have an unlimited data plan.

My issue here is that EVERYWHERE ive looked i get the information that "once you switch on developer mode, you have full root", and theres nothing I could find that suggests theres anything else you have to do.

In addition the ls -al command gave "user" across the board instead of "root" several times last night, which made me think it had something to do with this.

You might have luck in this long thread called N9 and aegis on the meego forums. Javispedro and others were having a long criticism about something along these lines about how restricting aegis is. This is way above my understanding but I think that thread might help you.

as you can imagine switzerland is quite hilly, so while its difficult to find a location without reception constant high data throughput is another matter.
