how much memory is needed for one average audio book?

Mark, I am sorry but I don't know. I never put an audio book on it. FYI it holds over 200 mp3 format songs. One thing I don't like about it is shuffle play does not work, even when the shuffle mode is activated. I hope this helps.

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.

You could use your computer to save the audible book as an MP3 file and then load it on the T10. I use MP3 DIRECT to record audio

Yes, any MP3 can be put on the device but the room might only fit one book at a time.

You can go a large as you want to on Hard Drive Space. As far as memory, up to about 6GB

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

Sorry. I was never able to get it to do much, but I'm sure it would do books. I love their older MP3 players. Especially the Creative Zen.

I don't have that much music,(about 400 songs) but I mainly wanted the video so I could watch t.v. shows and movies as well as the music. Do you know how much memory a movie/tv show takes up?

I have about 1250 average length songs on my 16 Gb thumb drive and it is using about 5.5 Gb of memory. My guess is you would hit the 2,000 song limit at about 8 Gb.

About 2.5 hrs of music per gb at 128 kbps (mp3). Roughly half that for very high quality music (256 kbps.)

In my opinion it is a very good buy from Amazon. I got one for $29 and three for $32. Both of those are good buys. They are very small and great for audible books. I don't know about music on them because I don't use mine for that. With a 16 gig card they hold over 400 hours of books in the 4 format.

Absolutely. I have about 20 on mine. I download to computer and then transfer to player. Hook into car stereo via acc. and have books on long trips. Really melts the miles.

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

Hi ... I can't remember that right now. But I advice you to buy 256GB. I have a lot of musics and photos, and there's no memory anymore. I have to use an external HD... Go and buy 256GB. You'll be happier :)

Hi Jayne, I have not used for audio books but, I have downloaded audio lectures and bible studies, so I would think there would be no problemKathy
