No google, I can't move all my music into the cloud, because I tend to want to listen to it 1000km from the nearest mobile phone tower, and I'm too cheap to have any more than 200MB of data per month connected to my phone account (internode, $10 per month. Told you I was cheap. No, you can't buy that plan anymore).
If you want to run the latest CyanogenMod or whatever then the Nexus 5 would be the best option. Nexus series always seems best for such things. The Nexus 5 has an option for 32G of storage, while the price difference between the 16G and 32G models is extortionate you really want to get the extra storage. With 32G of storage you can store a lot of MP3s encoded at a quality that is adequate for the common listening environments used for a phone. It's possible that when I connect my Bose headphones to my phone in a quiet room the quality of MP3 encoding (at a bit less than a megabyte per minute) might limit the audio quality. But in almost any other situation I don't think so. With my current phone (Galaxy Note 2, 16G internal and 8G external) the gigabyte of storage for ~20 hours of music is no big deal. It's the FullHD music videos that take up space. My next phone will be the Galaxy Note 4. That will have at least 32G of internal storage and the option of using a SD card, but I don't expect that MP3s will force me to use an SD card. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
