My old POS iphone4 that I returned was 32GB. That's a lot of music for a trip. Just switch it out when you return. If you get bored, move over to Pandora.

For me it doesn't replace iTunes or the iPod app. I do keep a good chunk of lossy music in iTunes, but also have a big archive of FLAC shows and a few choice albums in FLAC. It's a lot easier to drag the FLAC files in (directly from a folder) than converting and "managing" each time I want to listen to a show.
