How many songs does a 4gb mp3 player play?
Mar 19, 2008 by Megan | Posted in Music & Music Players
I'm about to buy my very first mp3 player and I'm buying a 4gb one. I was just wondering how many songs it'll play on it's own and how many songs it'll play with a 512mb sd card. Anyone know? I'm kinda new to the whole mp3 player thing so I'm not totally sure how it works. Thanks in advance!
4GBUp to 1,000 songs, up to 3,500 photos, up to 4 hours of video, or some of each.

You could probably fit 800-1000, in mp3 format anyway.

About a thousand or so, depending on the size [length] of the file itself and if album art comes with it on your player.

probably 400 because its not like an ipod for some reason a 4 gigabite ipod will hold 3 times as much than a 4 gigabite mp3 player.

1000 songs baby

supposably 1000 but id say youd fit around 700-850 tops. depends on song length

I ahev a 4gb and it holds 100mp3 songs.
I barely use that much but ts good to ahev just in case. The 2gb one is only 500mp3 songs and the 1gb, I belive is 100 songs

You can fit about 1,000 4 minute songs into 4 GB, and you can fit about 120 4 minute songs into 512 MB.

Congrats on getting a mp3 player.
Capacity = Gigabyte
Four gigs will hold about 1000 songs. If you add 512 mb card to it, it will play 1100 songs.
You will enjoy your mp3. It's a lot more convenient then a CD player.

Holds about 1000 songs at 128kbps. If the songs are longer and/or have higher quality, it may be less.
512 is pretty much way too small for mp3 player. You'll probably be listening to the same songs after an hour or two. 4gb should be pretty decent unless you're a music junkie, then maybe you should up to an 8gb.

They advertise them as 1,000, but I'd say like 600-800. Depends on the song length, obvioiusly.

depending on the length of the songs or videos around 697 if they are around one minute you should get about 1000 if they are around three minuets you should get 500 if you go to the apple store or call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE email me at dordiscott@mac.com if you have any questions.

I currently have about 400 tunes on my 4 gig SanDisk, with a little less than half a gig to spare.
However, I also have a few radio and voice recordings and photos on my MP3, those suck up alot of memory.
I've been able to store as many as 600 tunes, but some were of the Pink Floyd or Modest Mouse length (10 minutes a song)......
