I've never had an MP3. How many songs will this hold?
801428
It will hold 4gb of songs, which is about 4000mb, so it will hold 500 8 mb songs, or 1000 4mb songs. I have never had an issue with space.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

No need to worry -it holds something like 4000 songs...i put in around 350 in mine and that is plenty...

At an average of 6 MB per song in mp3, about 1300 or so.This figure can vary greatly depending on the quality of the songs, since a higher quality, larger and therefore less fit.

Hi there! Maximum songs that can be stored here on Sony NWZE384 8GB depends on its bitrate. Here are the tables:Bit rate: Number48 kbps 5,15064 kbp 3,950128 kbps 1,950256 kbps 950320 kbps 750Most of the MP3s are under 128 kbps, but some ate under 256 kbps. So I would say it can be at around 2000 songs. Hope this helps. -Ely

I apologize for this late response but I bought this as a gift for a child. It has 3 preprogrammed songs and yu can add the rest with MP3 ... we did. The child absolutely loves it and takes it everywhere she goes.

I went and bought an SD card and put that in there. I think it takes up to a 64gig card. Without the card it'll hold a few songs with the onboard memory. But I would recommend buying the SD card if you want to put enough music on to listen to for a long ride without repeating songs.

What Katie said, except that the usable capacity on a microsd card is not equivalent to its total maximum capacity. You will have a little less than 40GB to store music.

I use this Walkman for music BACK-UP, I play Gigs and not to back-up is suicide. So, take the average song and divide this into about 13.5 GB, YOU GOT IT.

I have a 4 gig card in mine which isn't even half full. We took a trip of over 20 hours and didn't hear the same song twice. However, it doesn't handle subfiles well so we tend to just let it play. For the money, it's a good value.

This says 8 GB but the version I have is 16 GB. That said it mainly depends on the format your music files are stored in: mp3, mp4, m4v, wav or ogg. There might be others. "Lossless" codecs (technical name for storage type) including wav, ogg & apple's secure drm (digital rights management- ie copyright protected) tend to be larger files. A standard 3 minute radio-friendly rock song in mp3 is going to be about 5 mb, 20 a hundred, 200 a gig- so, you do the math- roughly 1600 songs for the 8 GB version, double that for the 16. Of course Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is going to be larger- just an average, depending on your library.

If I have 10 mp3 songs on the USB and it has played them all - does it stop or can it be set to repeat them over and over?

I have the 2 GB one. It holds about 500 songs. It's very basic and that's what I wanted. At least it doesn't shut off like my Sansa did.

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

The IPod shuffle holds 600-700 songs. It allows for all songs in random order. It also allows you to have playlists you can set up on ITunes. Thetefore, you can put any number of songs and artists on each playlist.

You can have it organized into folders, or just a long list. You can put songs into playlist for quick play. (That's what I suggest)
