This USB in particular is 16 GB in size, this will typically hold around 5,000 songs. Assuming that each song has a bit-rate of 128 kbps and lasts 3:30 minutes.Keep in mind that this is a USB Flash drive, not an mp3 player. This device will only work for storing your music (or any type of data). Picture it as a portable hard drive.

The best thumb drive ever!! Stores anything that can be saved on a hard drive. Small and protected and very handy. Price when I bought it was terrific!!

works fine, functions just like any USB flash drive. Copy music files and album art to it, no problem.

I have the 2 GB one. It holds about 500 songs. It's very basic and that's what I wanted. At least it doesn't shut off like my Sansa did.

I have one and have a mixture of MP3s and WMAs music files on it. The one negative thing about it, is that it sorts artists starting with The in the T's. Seriously though I have had it for about a year and it has never froze once, the battery lasts long and it is removable. A lot of reasons why MP3 players go bad is because of the batter not lasting more than a year or so, instead of just junking the player you can find another battery.

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.

It´s fully drag and drop if you want, thats the way I use it, although you could use Windows Media Player or Media monkey or any player to syncronize it.one of the great things about this portable player is that you can create any sudfolder and visualize the folder system, so you can manage the way you play your music, or you can short the reproduction by artist, genre, album or year...

Oh wow, that's a great idea! Are you talking about lp albums? What size? If u give me the size of your albums I will measure to see if they will fit standing up?! They would fit lying down flat but that's not a good way to store vinyl

it's really easy to switch over music. I made a file on the computer and took off most of the music and added more. you can keep all the music and add more. there is a spot for a mini card if you want to add lots of other music.

It has a menu system. You can view by artist, album, favorites, genre, or year. It also has a shuffle mode.

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this device. It is a disc storage unit. You can use it to store data, music, or dvds. Any program for labeling what you are storing and keeping the list is on the website www.mydiscgear.com I recommend you have a look at that website for how they store your titles. A shortcoming I found is that they do not have a program like EXCEL to do this so that you can rearrange your data according to different tags or keywords for more variety in searching for what you want to find in the collection.

Sorry, unfortunately I haven't seen any album art on the unit as you may see on your cell phone. Not that sexy of a display in the music mode but pretty user friendly.

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

I got an email asking me to give an answer. I don't use any open architect OS - I use Windows. But, it would seem if you delete the files maybe if you empty trash they will go away? Or perhaps the music is stored in a different folder than the actual play list? I'm sorry, I don't know- haven't had that problem

Works just fine for storing mp3 or .wav files. It can be accessed for individual playback..beyond that, no idea.

You can not load a CD collection. It has a single CD drawer you can use like a standard CD player. It has AM/FM radio and a dock for the older style Apple products. I plug my iPhone 4S into it and use iTunes. It looks quite nice and adds a lot to room.

You can create folders to place different types of music or books in. When you turn on the player you can select which folder the child will be listening to. The child can advance the selection of the folder but will not see album artwork.

Although I haven't used it yet, I have an app called AppMgr that will do that. Why haven't I used it? Using the SD card for music, not apps...:-)

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)
