OMG. I have well over 1500 songs on mine and still have 1/2 the space left for more. I don't have any photos on it, that isn't why I use it. It can play for hours and hours. I purchased a charger wall plug accessory set, even a car plug comes with it. You will love the Sony Walkman. It is the only one that I recommend for people looking for the MP3 players. So user friendly compared to others.

Hi John. The one I purchased was a 4 GB and that equates to about 3.75 GB of actual space to load music. There is programing in the drive so you lose a few MBs off that. I do like mine a lot and it is really so compact and easy to use; nothing to mess with, just load and play. I hope this helps. Mick

No, there is no limit. I think the maximum is 32GB SD card. You can load songs as much as you want. I am using 16GB (not full yet), & has around 600 songs in it. Press & hold the forward button for 3 seconds to play music in RANDOM.

4 to 8 hours if you're continuously playing only music. If you are playing videos, then the time goes down to around 2-3 hours. Also, so far, all of my players hold charges pretty well too. I also bought several extra USB cords so that I can leave one in the car, my pc at work and with both of my laptops at home. That way, I can easily recharge the battery if it gets low without having to find a cord.

It will hold 4gb of songs, which is about 4000mb, so it will hold 500 8 mb songs, or 1000 4mb songs. I have never had an issue with space.

It seems to last about 4-5 hours.. We typically use it for bedtime music for the kids and plug it in an external battery

6 to 8 hours playback time. It depends on the volume level. If you meant the battery life cycle it is 500 cycles.

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.

Assuming you are using standard quality MP3, then a typical pop song is 3-4MB. I am not sure how much of the memory is taken up by the OS. Another person said 2.1GB (seems like a lot). That would leave 13.9GB to store music. 13,900/3.5 = 3,971 or about 4,000 songs. If you have high quality MP3 (i.e. lossless) or use a different file format or have a large number of long classical songs, then you may get fewer songs. However, as another person pointed out, you can listen for hours/days without repeating song with a few thousand songs. Unless you have an unusually large music collection and all must fit on this device or you plan to have video too, 16GB should be fine.

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!

I'm not sure which model you have. I've had mine for about 4 years and is been very reliable and durable. It's very easy to use, and can store up to around 3,100 songs. If there is anything else I can help you with just let me know.

I apologize for this late response but I bought this as a gift for a child. It has 3 preprogrammed songs and yu can add the rest with MP3 ... we did. The child absolutely loves it and takes it everywhere she goes.

Depends on your bit rate, really. Assume an MP3 file with the size of 5 mb, which means 205 songs per gb or around 41000 songs approximately.

It holds only one CD. I bought it because it also plays MP3 and has a USB port. So I can listen for longer without changing CDs after 70 mins.

Half an hour like others have said. The 18 hour estimation is probably spot on but it's always surprising how long it really lasts. Have used it intermittently for the past few weeks since I bought it and it has worked well. What is nice is that you can end your music and forget to turn the switch to the off position and the device will automatically turn off after a few minutes. Normally I just leave the device in the on position and tap the button on top to resync when I want to use it.

3500-4000 songs depends of the quality of the sound and the length of the songs
