I had to trim down the number of playlists I store on my Nexus 4, which only has 16 gigs. I also have to be more cognizant of how many podcasts I download at the same time.

I like my phone. But I don't think I'll ever buy anything without at least 32 gigs of storage, or a place to plug more memory in.

I have the same problem, the same phone and the same conclusion.

I recommend, uploading your music to Google Play. You do not have to worry about using up the space on the device.

Unless you have a data plan with less than 2GB of data, that is. And are OK with waiting a bit for things to buffer. With Google Music I end up offlining a lot of songs because data plans in Canada are terrible and because 3G isn't everywhere you want to listen to music. Add podcasts and you hit the storage limit in no time.

I live in New York; most of the stations and tunnels have no connectivity whatsoever. If I want to listen to my music offline, I do have to sync it.
