Does anyone know how many songs a 1gb mp3 player holds?

Answer 1

500 max

Answer 2

Wow. That's a lot of bad/incomplete information you've got there.

First off, 1GB = 1024 MB, or 1048576 KB, not "1000, obviously"

Secondly, you can rip MP3s at many different bitrates, varying your file size greatly. Depending on the application, your 3 minute average song can be as little as 2 megs, or as much as 7 megs. You can also rip in mono instead of stereo, which effectively doubles how much you can store on the MP3 player. (But, "obviously," you get the same mix in both speakers)

So, the answer is really "it depends." I like to rip in high quality because I've got plenty of hard drive. This is absolute overkill, but will give you an idea of file sizes. A 3 minute song at 192 kbps and 44.100 kHz stereo is about 4.2 meg. You can probably rip at a 128 and still be "CD quality" and get it down to about 3.5 Megs.

Decide what level of quality you want and then do the math. Remember that depending on the MP3 player you have, there's some level of overhead for the files that actually control everything. Typically, the more control over your playlists, the more overhead you have, but this is usually just an XML file or two and less than a meg.

Answer 3

1 GB = 1000 MB (obviously)
standard 4 minute song playing at 128KBPS (max mp3 quality)= 5mb (about). They actually give you 1024 MB on 1 GB MP3 Players, sinceit is easier to go by powers of 2. So: 1024/5 = roughly 205 songs

Answer 4

It Depends on what size the song is. if its 5mb you can save about 200 songs but dont fill your memory card coz if its full it may hang up just like my mp3 player...

Answer 5

Since one MP3 is about 5Mb average that would lead us to approximately 200 songs.

Answer 6

its 240 based on 4 minute song but if you got 4 minute higher, 240 will decrease
