Anyone still use iPod for music storage anymore?

I'm wondering what is a good way to play my music that is on cds. I seldom use them anymore in the main tv room, bedroom, or car.

I find I enjoy listening to music in a small room with my vinyl/fm system. I thought it might be enjoyable to put them on an iPod. (Or should I put them on a smart phone, computer in another room, or music server?)

The 'iPod' seemed novel to me in the past, but is it still a contemporary and convenient solution these days? What is the solution for the future that is easy with a small budget and w/o a lot of associated gear.

I don't think I'm much interested in a cdp at this stage, because it's just doesn't bring the same pleasure as spinning vinyl, so I'm looking for a convenient solution so I'll listen to all my music on cds.

I use an ipod touch feeding a NuForce icon ido in the bedroom. Mostly for headphone listening. As the ido offers a variable analog output, I also use this feeding an amp and speakers on occasion.
Files are either Apple lossless or AIFF. I don't see a need to bring anything larger into the equation. Although I keep thinking about using an ipod with a 160gb capacity to widen the library.
Very satisfying sound IMO.

Thank you Timrhu for the useful info. How many cds at the highest resolution can you fit on your iPod touch? Or would you jump right up to a 160g classic?

Czarivey, How many cds will store on an iPhone with the highest resolution. I don't know how big the hd in it is, and I'm ready to make the purchase in the next month.
