How Many MP3 Files Do You Keep on Your Phone?

Now that smartphones can perform an incredible number of functions, there’s not really a reason to buy or carry around other devices, such as mp3 players or e-readers. After all, you can download books and music to your phone. One downside to this practice is that these files can take up a lot of space on your phone. If you want to make more room on your phone for music files, photos, videos, and books, use Quick Cleanup to remove junk files that are taking up too much storage space on your device:

DFNDR’s Quick Cleanup feature will instantly remove all junk files, trash, cache, and temporary files from your internal storage and SD card to free up space on your phone. That way, you won’t have to take the time to delete these files manually from each app on your device. It’s a quick way to create more room on your phone for the files that you really want, such as more apps, music files, photos, and videos.

How Many mp3 Files Can You Keep on Your Phone?

The amount of mp3 files and other files that you can store on your device largely depends on the age and specs of your phone. Older smartphones typically have very little internal storage space (8GB to 16GB), and the ability to hold very little external storage space (as little as 32GB). In comparison, many newer smartphone models now come with 32GB to 64GB of internal storage, and microSD card expansion up to 256GB — that’s a lot of space for music, photos, videos, and books.

What Are The Pros to Storing mp3 files on Your Phone?

Regardless of how much space you have on your device, storing mp3 files on your phone can be very convenient. You’ll still be able to listen to music even if you don’t have an Internet connection, and the task will take up very little of your phone’s battery in comparison to streaming music. While streaming music may be a fine practice when you have a Wi-Fi connection, streaming music without Wi-Fi can use up a lot of your data.

The Cons?

If you have an older smartphone, then you likely won’t be able to store that many mp3 files on your phone. Plus, your mp3 files have to compete with your apps, photos, videos, and other files for storage space. In order to make sure your phone doesn’t run out of room, you may want to keep a select number of your favorite songs on your phone, or else change your playlists now and then. For many users, this might be an undesirable practice — they may prefer to use their data to stream music.
