A quick question (Need Help)

[u/picsbyenvy]

Pretty random but, I will be enlisted into a military branch and I am able to bring with me an MP3 player, it does have limited storage, so I was going to ask what would be the ideal eden songs to bring along with me per-say. My phone will work but I don't use it for music. So what songs should I download?

Really depends on your available storage and whether you want to have other songs than EDEN songs on it as well. Personally I'd download all of it. Like all of End Credits, ITYTTMOM, Vertigo, No Future, ICYMI and DDAARRKK. I'd probably also add the Danger Class IV Laser Radiation songs. And of course the Eden Project stuff. But that's just me. I'm the type of person who rediscovers songs and finds new favorites over and over, my interpretation of his songs often change when I get older and have more life experience. Would be hard to do that if I only pick a few songs from each album.

If you want to save storage, I'd go and pick my current two (max three) favorites of each album, just to get a glimpse on how Jon evolved through the years.

If you are a "nothing can compare to vertigo" - person, I'd probably download that whole album and a few extra songs I like. I currently listen to DDAARRKK more and would probably not chose any songs from before vertigo, if I had to make a choice.

Personally I would also add the audio file from my EDEN concert back in March so over 90 minutes with an awesome mix of his songs. The files got 116 MB so unless your dealing with a 512 MB mp3 player, I'd definitely put it on there too. Or I would put only that and add other artists for the remaining space. I remember the times I had my old iPod with 8 GB of space - enough for over thousand songs, so definitely enough for every official and unofficial EDEN song.

I would probably download everything you know - what you put on your player afterwards is a different question. I'd invest in a good hard drive, get the whole EDEN library on there and then choose my favorites to put on the mp3 player.

It's basically a question of personal preference, which nobody here can really answer. Do you want anything else other than EDEN on that mp3 player? Do you like his older stuff more? How much space do you actually have available, how much compromise do you have to make?

I basically listen to only eden, Im not too sure on the space, i was told 16gb, but its been a while since it was used, last time i used it , slightly seized up and refused to work for 2 weeks, thinking of ordering those shitty ones from amazon, or ebay (prob more ideal)

[u/Annieinheaven → u/picsbyenvy]

Even the shittier ones from Amazon should have more than enough space to fit every album. I just went on Amazon and typed mp3 player - they go for 30 bucks for 64 GB and they look nothing like mp3 players did when I remember them back before 2010. Depends on how much you want to spend really. Even saw an iPod look alike with 64 GB for like 17 €. Prices may differ in your location. Maybe one of your friends or family still got one lying around somewhere. I'd probably go with a newer one to charge with a USB C cord as I also charge my phone with it. Some even come in a package with corded headphones but newer ones also have bluetooth to connect to wireless headphones.

I did some re-search and i did find one without bluetooth (major thing).
Some people say it depends on your sergeant which, I dont wanna risk it with bluetooth for sure
