Its says it can hold up to 500 songs, so far Ive gone up to 340, and it wont go any higher than that. So there is no way of changing that?

The sad thing is that it can say whatever apple wants it so say.

Technology is not as easy as simply stamping a 2g or 4g harddrive into an iPod. I myself bought a 4GB and when I plugged it in it said 3.7GB. Technology isi pretty complicated and to measure exact storage takes more time than apple manufacturers would like to spend. they just round up

and as far as getting more songs convert them into acc it says how to do that in iTunes.

sorry.

No, unfortunately. It will help to convert all songs to AAC format, though. The rest of the space is used by the Ipod to store the menus, games, and other special features. So although the 2GB is a true statement, the complete 2GB is not used for music.

Also...500 songs is an idealistic number. Assuming every one of your songs is about 3.5 minutes long and in AAC format, you MAY be able to squeeze 500 songs on there. But realistically...well, if you want to have more than about 450 songs, I would suggest an update.

Hope I helped!

Yes unfortunately that is taken up by formatting and software to run the Ipod. To get 500 songs you need ACC songs in 128kbs an average of like 4 mins long.

If you lower the quality (bit rate) of the songs you can probably get more, for example take them from 320kbps to 192kbps or something.
Itunes might have a setting to do that when you transfer them onto your Ipod.

depends how many pictures you have. I think you must be doing something wrong though if you can only put 340 songs on it.

yes, it takes a little bit to initialize it, it's stupid, but it's gritty reality, or slanderous postulating, lol
