i was told that 1024 MB = 1 GB and there is about 330 songs for a GB. is that true for an MP3 player?

It depends on the length of the song and the quality of the recording. A rough way of calculating is 1MB per minute of song. Each song is different length, so if you have a lot of long songs you will be able to store less and if you have a lot of short songs you will be able to store more. The 330 songs is about right based on an average of about 3 minutes per song. The harddrive in an mp3 player is basically the same and so it should hold roughly the same as a 1GB HD in your computer.

A gig is a gig is a gig. Some of that "Gig" is used in "house keeping", but has little to do with the fact that MP3 (0r 2) are compressed music files. Few songs are of the same length. Some "tracks" can be as little as 2.5 min's and some can be over 4 min. So, at best, your answer is only going to be an average. Generally, 300 or so is about right.

It depends how long the songs are. My Ipod's 1 GB and I've gotten it to hold about 470 or so.

more or less. yes....
but if you want to have good quality in the mp3... each mp3 takes approx. abt 5 MB on an average...
so that will be 500 songs approx....

250 songs yet once you utilize ShareAZA, then you truly can ILLEGALLY upload GB on your iPod. basically acquire the report on the internet and it has instructions to it. you besides could choose a flashdrive counting on how lots GB or MB you opt to function. ex.: in case you have a 2 GB flashdrive, then you truly can upload 2 GB on your iPod, making it a three GB iPod ILLEGALLY. :)
