How do you get more space on an ipod touch/zune?

I'm getting an ipod touch soon. Probably a 2nd gen because the 3rd gen is coming out soon but I know that it'll be WAY too expensive (I'm gonna wait for the official reviews before I make a purchase though just in case). Okay, so the most space the current ipod touches have is just 32g, is there some sort of hack or something so that I could add more music/video? I'm not too worried about running out of room for apps, it's mostly for music, but the entire reason for wanting the ipod touch is for apps, internet, everything else.

Also I have a 4g zune and I was wondering if you can make more space on that too?

The reason I even ask (because I can't find anything on google) is because a while back (before the first iphone) someone showed me how they got their ipod classic to hold more music and I was hoping that the new ipods were capable of this.

However, if this is impossible would it just be smarter to upgrade to a 120g zune instead of the ipod touch? 'Cause I'm not buying another mp3 for a long time after this. It'll be my birthday (or Christmas depending on the money) present to me.

Please and thank you!

Update:

Doesn't aac make the sound bad?

Lol yes! I need ALL of my media in my pocket! 7,000 songs is not enough! Especially since I plan on NOT buying another mp3 for a REALLY long time.

Update 2:

Plus, I have a very wide taste in music and I have a list of around 500 old songs that I need to download.

Those are just old songs, now as the new songs come out I'm going to want them too. I like to look ahead, I want enough space for everything!

    The 3rd gen is probably not coming out soon. There are rumors, but those are only rumors. But even if it did, it would probably have the same space. There is no hack. You can't change the amount of space the ipod has. You'd have to take the ipod apart. But there are some apps that end background programs to free up some space.

    there isnt a "hack" but there are a few ways to get the most out of the sapce you have.

    1. convert all your music to aac format

    2. convert all your movies to a smaller sized/quality mp4

    3. you can download a few apps that let you stream files from your computer to your iPod. so you can have a few albums/movies on your iPod and the rest on your computer. Google search it.

    By the way. 32Gig is tons! i cant believe that that is not enough. do you really need to carry around all of your music and videos? it will take you months to get through 32Gig of stuff..... i seem to manage with an 8 Gig so you know. but whatever.
