Balance between bitrate and file size?
406007
Honestly it all depends on what type of headphones/speakers you'll be using as to whether you'll get more out of better sound quality. My personal cutoff is 192kbps for the lowest I'll listen to, but I try to rip everything lossless and download everything I can at lossless quality because you really notice a difference at 900+kbps. But of course I'm using 500 dollar Sennheiser headphones to listen to the music, so if you're using 10 dollar Sony's you might not need anything near that high.

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.

I´m not sure it can be changed, but I left it shooting the whole night and it cut into 7 files each aproximately 4.165.000 KB. The longer one I took had 01:07:44. Hope It helps.

It completely depends on the format and length of the songs. The average size of a song in MP3 format can be anywhere from 3 to 6 MB per file, if it was ripped at 128kbs which is one of the most popular quality levels. If the file was created in a higher quality than that, then the file size will be larger. Generally speaking, it is fairly safe to say you could fit between 200 and 400 songs on a 2GB player.

Depends on the length of the song, AND the bit-rate at which the song was ripped.

The 8 GB rating is the ideal situation. You will not get that. The actual storage size will be somewhat smaller (ex. 7.4GB). Whatever size it says it has will be the largest file size it will hold.

I AM SHOCKED! No one has mentioned WMA format.The player's limit is 320kpbs with any format, and 64kbps on WMA is around the same quality as 320k on MP3, especially using earphones. I have converted 320k mp3 files into 64k wma files without noticing a difference. It's a shame if you put MP3s into this player.

P. Vo's right, you can burn the MP3s to a CD, but I thought it was worth mentioning that you should encode the MP3s at around 192kbps or higher to get the best quality when you burn to CD (too much above 192kbps won't make a difference to most people; I believe "they" have done studies to prove that you can't distinguish quality difference above this threshold, but it's up to you).Just don't encode at 128 kbps and expect the CD to be crystal clear...

record both vid+aud.Multiple files are recorded with around 3MB each at 30sec length. So 32GB/3MB = about 10666 files at 30sec each OR around 88hours

No diff. between the two. I have 80gB just cuz I have milions of cds and dvds. It just depends on you. 30GB is a lot though, but I chose 80Gb just in case.

I just wanted to make a quick correction. iPods can certainly play 192kbs files (and higher) as well as Apple Losseless, unprotected mp4s and a few other things I've probably forgotten. The iTunes store, at this moment, only sells 128 kbps protected AAC files (though that should be changing soon) which may be the source of the confusion.

My guess (as it's so hard to find the rpm spec anywhere on the WD site) is that it's 5400rpm. That said, it's pretty zippy and I've had no problems (other than Pro Tools refusing to work with it due to the non-Oxford chipset) streaming audio and video from it.

I'm using MP4 and not having a problem, but they are large files. Running windows 8.1, 12 GB memory.

A 20-minute video I bought from iTunes is 100MB. If you think they're going to use the video feature a lot, I'd go with the 80G.

Thank you for your question , actually most of track I've ripped by me from old CDs , the other part exchanged by my torrent friends , majority of tracks are 44.1/16bit , Fiio.net recommend hdtraks as also X3 came with discount card to by from HDTraks

Depends on the size of the images and the size of the card you are getting. Give me an average image file size.

Depends on chosen audio quality, music or talk, number of tracks. However, one user statement claims: Sep 6, 2010 - 9 posts - &#8206;6 authors "Hey guys, Just wondering how long would i be able to record with a 16Gb ... A: 5 megs per minute per channel at 44.1/16. it's just about the same at 48 and 1/2 again more for 24 bit. At 48/24 stereo I get just under an hour a gig." www.dvxuser .com
