anyone know about how much music it can hold?

It depends on the music file size. 1 GB = 1000 MB's. The average song is between 5 and 6 MB's. So you should get between 1336 and 1500 songs (allowing for a bit of dead space on any drive for software)

This says 8 GB but the version I have is 16 GB. That said it mainly depends on the format your music files are stored in: mp3, mp4, m4v, wav or ogg. There might be others. "Lossless" codecs (technical name for storage type) including wav, ogg & apple's secure drm (digital rights management- ie copyright protected) tend to be larger files. A standard 3 minute radio-friendly rock song in mp3 is going to be about 5 mb, 20 a hundred, 200 a gig- so, you do the math- roughly 1600 songs for the 8 GB version, double that for the 16. Of course Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is going to be larger- just an average, depending on your library. This says 8 GB but the version I have is 16 GB.

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.

It's possible--I have a 9 in, added a 14Gb SD card, and that would hold a lot of notes, music, etc. It comes with Kingsoft Office, including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation programs. I haven't watched a movie on it, but I do use it for a lot of other things.

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 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.

Mine is 4gb and it holds about 40+hours of music. I do find that while convenient, it does seem to play some songs more frequently than others. Also, most external speakers don't allow the small hole plug in, but the type for its bigger brother, but this is very convenient and enjoyable. I clip it on the bottom of my shirt and run the earphones thru the shirt. I also like the idea of pressing the control once for silence and then hearing the names of the songs coming up.

I'm not really sure , but I have a 16 GB in it. And that holds quite a bit.

Catherine, This unit holds about 100 lp's and close too 2 hundred 45's. I hope this helps. P.S This is a great unit. Marco I don't know what these other guys are talking about.

I have a 3-ring binder with about 200 pages of music that sits on here nicely, and other times an iPod. It holds quite a bit.

Mine says on properties it's a 32 gb but it will actually hold less than one gb. I've tried formatting it repeatedly with no success, though it says it's completely formatted. Then I get a disk error message and when I attempt to load songs onto it they vanish. I believe it's a counterfeit.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs. Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

No , will play any music ,even from a drag and drop . Don't know the max , but I 've found the larger the drive , the more time it takes to go thru the files

It comes with 4gb already installed and a micro sd slot on the side that allows you to add a micro sd card with as much as 32gb of space, expanding the capacity of the player for even more songs. 4gb is good for 800 songs-200 per gig. With 32 gb you can add even more music.

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.

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?

Not sure. It will fill a gamely room with music. Use it in garage to work out.

I have over 1200 songs on this and it appears it could hold three times this
