Can I increase the flash storage on my MacBook Pro?

I had just purchased a MacBook Pro about 2 weeks ago. I decided to go with the 13" with Retina Display, instead of the 13" with the harddrive. I was intrigued by the Flash Storage. I have already filled up almost my entire storage, with basically just music. I have 2 externals (one from my previous macbook pro that i removed, and another). I would like to avoid putting all my music and running them off the externals, so I was curious to see if i could just increase my storage?

I had done some preliminary, basic research and the consensus was that I could not increase my storage, but I wanted to pick the communities brain about it.

If anyone has any suggestions for what I should do, I am all ears! Definitely against deleting my music haha.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Look here:

Msin obstacle is that this will probably void your warranty. You can probably go visit an Apple store or Authorized Apple service center to get the upgrade

In the Retina models, the flash storage, as same as the RAM, is soldered onto the motherboard, so you aren't going to be able to have that upgraded. The only option for you is to buy an external hard drive...
