what do u do if your computer says to your mp3 player ran out of space and you know it can hold more songs?

Question

i have a RCa lyra mp3. my model number is RD1028. it can hold up to 80 songs but i can only get 26 songs on there

Answer 1

if my computer said something, i'd be scared. i didn't know they could talk

Answer 2

It isn't the number of songs. It's the space they take up. 80 songs is an average of 3 megs per song (that'd be 240 MB so I'm guessing your mp3 player is 256). If you have high-quality or very long songs that number is going to go down significantly. Generally figure on one minute of music per meg and you get just over 4 hours of music. 256/26 = almost 9 minutes per song? Try putting songs on there that are sampled at a lower bitrate (smaller size but lower quality. 192 is a good balance between sound quality and size.)

Answer 3

According to this site you player can hold up to 32 songs, so 26 is pretty close

Are you sure you have more than 128 MBytes?
In any case, number of songs is approximate based on an average of 4 MB/song.

Answer 4

i think you mp3 quality are too high, that's why use some much space
