The average music file is 5 megabytes (mb) and 128 kilobytes a second (kbs). And you want 5000 songs, that's 20 GB's. It's not even nessacary to buy an external hard drive! But if that's what you want to do and you want an external hard drive, buy the largest one you can offord. But one thing you should look for is a high RPM rate. That means the hard disk will spin and read faster, thus being overall faster. To simplfy: better GB = more storage, better RPM rate = faster, better price = :) That will get your moneys worth
