Why should that matter?  However did we survive in the era of the horse
and buggy?

All of this is about convenience.  I have over 4,000 CDs.  A
high-storage player matters a lot to me, too, for the reason above:
the higher the capacity, the more likely I am to have with me what I
want when I want it.  Of *course* that's simply convenience, and of
course I could get by without it.  But if I don't have to forego that
convenience, why in the world should I want to?
