Reply to: how many songs can...

To give the obvious answer, to be able to choose what you want to listen to at the time of listening, rather than at the time of leaving the house.

You're right, expecting someone to narrow it down to the most likely 600 would be too much effort.

Please accept my apologies.

I bet you took ages to leave the house when it was the time of the humble Walkman and Discman - only one CD at a time?

how many songs can...

2gb worth of storage hold?

im thinking bout buying an ipod.

About the same as my phone...

"That's not an Ipod its a memory stick."

Indeed so it is...

To ask the very obvious question, WTF do you think you want to carry around your entire music collection anyway? c 600 songs at 3 minutes each is 30 odd hours!!!

i may not know them off by hand, but if i calculate that on average an album has 12 songs on them, then my calculation has around 50 albums.

and i can definatly name 50 albums in my collection easily.

not enough, by a long way.

Ah, but thats not the question you asked

[bogeyman]

The answer is easy if we take it logically, there must be
50 ways to leave your lover ....

51. Drop off the 'Pod Rod

52. Lose the MP3 Lee - and set yourself free!

More than you can remember you have on it

Most MP3 singles come in at around 3Mb.
So making allowances you can get ~600 songs on it.

If you can name 600 songs you *know* you have in your collection you have a better memory than me
