Use 150mb to put a low quality version of Firefly that I used to have on a Nokia phone around 2007/2008, and the rest will be my collection of ebooks.
I've got more than 1gb of books, but I can trim down the file size by stripping formatting and saving as plain text, and there's a few series I could go without reading for a long time.
Valhiem is just 1gb. Just saying...
OK, it seems I can bring my current music library. I experimented with it a bit now, and I guess I could get used to 12kbps Opus or 12.65kbps AMR-WB (they sound comparable). It kinda sounds like off-tuned FM radio, not the much more awful artifacts of MP3 or AAC.
Although... can I bring a cassette tape player? It's analog, so tapes won't fall under this limit. Then I could possibly digitize it. Similarly with movies on film. I don't know what equipment I can take though. Movies on film, photos on paper, books on paper, music on tapes, hmmm... I guess that would be some games then. What counts under the media though? Just the games themselves, emulation software, entire OS?
128k mp3s
That would be around 250 songs.
Halo CE should be around 600mb.
MIDIs of my favourite melodies, some actual music, probably just my favourites from my playlists over the years, ASCII encoded books and ROMs of old games with an emulator
Music, music, and more music. I would say books but I read too fast, they wouldn't last. Might as well just remember the stories I have already read. Well, actually - my favorite books please yes.
I think text is going to be the most dense, information wise. With plain text you could fit about 2500 average length books in 1gb, that's not considering any compression.
Additionally, you could create a novel representation of words to reduce the total amount of text and include a key to expand it back out, replacing common groupings of letters like 'ch' with 'k' for example
If you could get a 2:1 compression ratio from your modified alphabet and a 4:1 compression ratio from traditional compression algorithms you could get up to 20 thousand books! That's a book a day for 55 years,
I think music is gonna take up way too much space. Compressed all the way down to 32kbps which is going to be a pretty miserable listening experience (everything will sound underwater) you are only going to get ~75 ish hours of music.
Cut that in half for a more tolerable 64kbps.
It's a decent amount of music, but not a lifetime's worth of your only entertainment imo.
Edit: for some context on audio, 320kbps mp3 will only net you 7 hours of music.
For sure games since they offer a lot of replayability. Maybe some reaading materials since they also don't occupy a lot of space.
Some of my favorite music, and a shit-ton of eBooks.

Books have the highest density of information per GB... So Books is...
How much do I like this other person? Are they a friend? Enemy? Stranger? Thatβs an important factor.
Amateur stills.
Books, lots and lots of books.
Your comment made me think of that scene from The Matrix. Idk if that was intentional or not, but I liked it enough to ask an AI to make the image above.
music encoded in xiph.org's ogg opus
