How many songs can an 8 GB Flash Drive hold?
1981220
I knew it was around 2000 songs depending on the length of your tune: one gig holds approx. 256 songs, so take that number and multiply by 16, then divide by 2, this method yielded my answer at 2048 songs, as an average length. You can also look on the back side of the card, with a magnifying glass, and read the numbers to find an answer as well. But, I did some checking, because usually the backside of the card is inaccessible, this is what I found: Richard wrote: Here is a site with a calculator that can help you with that. You input the memory capacity (which in your case is 16GB) and then input the bit rate. You will then see the approximate number of songs (at 3:30 a song) that might fit. So, 16GB at 320kbps is 2045 songs. http://www.richardfarrar.com/song-capaci...

I use this Walkman for music BACK-UP, I play Gigs and not to back-up is suicide. So, take the average song and divide this into about 13.5 GB, YOU GOT IT.

Define average??!! If you have tons of music, create or use acres of documents or books - maybe not. I did buy a 16 gig microsd card for mine, just in case. 16 gigabytes is a LOT of space - but more is better, right?

I have over 300 songs on it plus pictures and have only used 2 gigs so far.

What Katie said, except that the usable capacity on a microsd card is not equivalent to its total maximum capacity. You will have a little less than 40GB to store music.

The short (and smart-ass) answer is a lot. However, doing a quick calculation of the average number of MB for each song and the fact that the Shuffle has a 2GB capacity, I figure about 275 songs.

I am using an 8gb with no problems.User manual says it supports up to 8gb.I have about 1000 mp3`s and that's not even 4gb.

Right now I have on one of mine, 13.9GB of total usable space (the other 2.1BG takes up the operating system). I currently have 4.35GB of free space left open. The other part is filled up with the following content: That includes 113 full albums averaging between 6 to 15 songs per album using 4.40GB of space and 59 music videos that is using 5.12GB of the storage space. The music videos are assorted sizes form 3.10MB to 177MB. I am always adding and removing songs and videos depending upon what style of music I'm into at the time. It's all drag and drop when you sync it to the player in your pc so moving things around is easy. I always try to leave at least 1 or more GB of free space open so that the music videos don't get jerky. I own more than one of these and it's really more about having not running out of battery before I can get back to recharge. Music uses a lot less battery, but the videos can wear down the battery pretty fast. These are small and very portable and I use them plugged into the car stereo for road trip music playlists and while waiting around in long lines, etc. at sci-fi conventions where it's not easy to get back to the room to recharge. Probably TMI but I hope this helps you in some way!

1 GB yields about 250 songs at approximately 4 minutes each. So 4gb = 1000 songs and 8gb = 2000. A best guess, more if songs stay closer to 3 minutes.

It depends on the length or amt of computer space it takes up, is my understanding. I have downloaded about 100 songs so far, and according to the device I have used about 10% of my available space.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I still have space on the original device and have literally 1,000's of songs.

I have an 8gb in mine now. It works fine. I haven't tried folders or directories. I do plug my mp3 player into it for audio books. Sorry. It's great for long trips. I listen to old time radio programs and it makes my 6 hour commute very easy.

After installing Words, Excel, PowerPoint and some essential applications, you'll be left with about 90 gig of hard drive. I think that's more than enough for everyday tasking. I store about a thousand songs and 50 full HD music videos and it only takes up 20 gig. I still have 70 gig left and don't know how to use them up haha. FYI, with 1 gig, you can store hundreds of words/excel/powerpoint files.

There are several variables involved in answering this question. It depends on the length of each song and the capacity (Or the number of minutes) your memory card in the machine will hold. The memory card included with the machine is limited and holds about an hour or two of data. I purchased the largest memory card available for this machine and it holds about six hours of music/data. It works great and I can't say enough about how good this machine sounds. It's excellent!

No need to worry -it holds something like 4000 songs...i put in around 350 in mine and that is plenty...

I would say several thousands. I have over 25 music albums on the flash drive and it is still not 1/3 full.

As stated the capacity is entirely dependent on the size of each file (song), the bitrate used during conversion to MP3 length of the song etc.. The easy answer is keep highlighting the number of songs you want to transfer then right click on properties and it will tell you how big the files are then you just adjust until you reach the 8 GB. Careful to note the actual capacity in M/B available because storage and transfer units are different. That is why the computer always show the actual capacity as under what the MFR states.
