Phone storage - what do?

Music, e-books, photos, film and TV for on the go. What else do you fill up your 8, 16, 32 even 64GB with exactly?! :confused:

I just don't get it at all, I have a few select albums on my phone, all my music is on my Sansa Clip+ and that's what I use to listen to music on, maybe I'll put a movie or TV program on to watch while I'm in work, I just don't see how you'd fill up all that space!

3D games.
Offline maps.
Camera burst mode (4-5MB per picture, 5-10 pictures for 'one shot')
1080p video record.
I'd stick my whole music collection on if I could! (What's the point of a dedicated mp3 player? Phones are small/light enough with good sound quality)
Laziness.

Tv/films

I like to have a fair bit on there for when im at work and have nothing to do. If I'm expecting to do nothing I take the tablet, so these are for unexpected times, so can't just pre-load as and when.
And it's also my only music player, why carry a separate device about.

I have 50gb of music, then I have ebooks, audio books to listen to in the car, tv series to watch during my lunch break and there are games which are well over 1gb. I have a spare 32gb card from before I got my 64gb card which I keep with additional media on it. I don't need all of it all the time but it's nice and convenient knowing it's all there when I do want it without having to plan ahead.

Music is almost 20GB. Like most others I want it all on device so I don't have to eat up battery streaming or worry about connection.

And then there're a load of saved podcasts, ebooks, downloaded lectures, videos, the odd TV series I'm watching perhaps. Add in space for shooting video and taking photos and 64GB suddenly seem like so much imo...
