alot of people saying "its held in the chip" well if theres nothing "in" the chip at the start...then you add the songs to the chip...it has been added to..stop me if im wrong?

No. The way the flash drive works is that it stores information by moving transitors (the on/off binary cores). When you alter the position of the transistors, they record data. You have just moved around the stuff inside, not added more. The ipod would not be any heavier. Other things, like dust would make a lot more difference. Digital songs are not tangible things. They have no weight.
Ok - people are saying that songs must weigh something - how could they otherwise? Technically, everything has weight, even light (photons). But "songs" on an ipod are just a cluster of electrons, or lack thereof. And yes electrons are added and removed, but more would change from waving it around outside and hitting it into all of those oxygen/nitrogen molecules. 10000 songs make as much difference to weight as dropping another grain of sand onto a windy beach. End of story.

people may say no, but in reality a song weighs around .0032 milligrams, you may never feel the difference holding the ipod but it actually has been clinically proven in lab tests. ( i know this from my brother who was one of the few people that began the project.) so if with the right tools you could prove it yourself
this may not make sense but a song's bytes can put weight on a memory card by the sound, and the information that makes it run. it may seem complicated, but once you can fully understand it it is much more simple. people can say songs don't weigh anything, but everything has some type of matter to it, or that would just be impossible.

Actually, it migh even weigh less! Data is saved using magnetic support. Thhat means that you have to put in or take electrons from the surface of the Ipod's disk to create bytes.
Of course, if you put in more than you take out, it will weigh more. But we're talking on an minute scale. There's no scale that can tell you if an Iod is heavier or lighter after you put songs into it.
Btw, smudge-ward, no lasers used here... A laser is to slow and delicate to be used for an IPod. Instead, it is used the same technology as in a hard drive. Magnetic support. Got to love it!
Oh, and one more interestin fact: when you recharge anything, it will weigh more. That weight consists in electrons, and it will get disipated as heat.

No. the way the flash tension works is that it shops education with the aid of shifting transitors (the on/off binary cores). as quickly as you adjust the area of the transistors, they checklist documents. you have surely moved around the stuff indoors, now no longer added extra suitable. The ipod does no longer be any heavier. distinctive matters, like airborne airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dirt and dirt might make plenty extra suitable massive difference. digital songs are not any extra tangible matters. they have no weight. ok - human beings are asserting that songs might desire to weigh some thing - how might desire to they in any distinctive case? Technically, each and each little subject has weight, even uncomplicated (photons). yet "songs" on an ipod are surely a cluster of electrons, or lack thereof. and useful electrons are added and bumped off, yet extra suitable might replace from waving it around outdoors and hitting it into all of those oxygen/nitrogen molecules. 10000 songs make as plenty massive difference to weight as dropping yet yet another grain of sand onto a windy sea coast. end of tale.

No, because in the Ipod, there would be a chip. Or someting likej that. It stores songs. If you don't put anything on it, it'l still be that chip. If you do, it'll still be that chip also.

One way to find out, weigh it before and after. Or contact Mythbusters. Better yet get one that holds 10,000 songs then try it.

No, less, the ones and zeros have to be carved out of the micro hard drive w. a laser, though microscopic something is being removed.

No, storage space on any disk/computer or electronic does not weigh anything.
I liked the answer about heavy metal music.

No.
You haven't added anything to the iPod. You have only rearranged the existing data; the I's and O's.

I think you're smart for thinking of this question. I've learned a lot reading this.
#1. People are really, really, dumb for calling you dumb.
#2. Songs do have weight.
Interesting concept....maybe I'll research it more.
