I'm not going to try and discourage you from getting an iPod, but I will strongly suggest that you look at the main alternative (Creative MP3 player) as tehy are cheaper adn have much better features, the only thing that they lack in comparisson to the iPod is the crappy advertising.
And make sure you buy it of eBay (I got mine for $470 when they retail for $700) if you dont have a thing against buy stuff online.... |

I have 20 Gb Mdjuke player from Medion, for 300$, very good, besides crappy battery life, 3 hours maximum is all I get out of it. but I have crammed 4500 song on it, and some of them are fairly large, like long comedy shows and such...
And please don't get Ipod... Apple doesn't need more money... [img]smile.gif[/img] |

A friend of mine put every album she had, every one her (ex-)boyfriend had, and a lot of stuff from her parents... 32GB of her 40GB ipod.
I'd get as much space as you can afford right now. Just because you won't use it immediately is beside the point. You will eventually have a bigger hard drive, and you will eventually be able to fill it... and you don't want to be trying to figure out what stuff to leave off...

*quick scan* I'm surprised no one has said that it depends on the quality of encoding (bit and sampling rate). Although sampling rate is generally always kept at 44KHz, the bit rate varies a lot. Some say 128Kbps is enough, but I use a variable bit rate compressor so it uses more bits where there's a lot happening in a song and less bits on simple periods in the song. I set the average bit rate to 140Kbps. Either way 128Kbps translates to around 1 megabyte/minute
So 512MB can hold around 500minutes of music. If they are 4 mins each, around 125 songs, which is borne out by experience as I've got a 512MB player. So 20GB should hold in theory, around 40 times that much i.e. 5000 songs, as people have said [img]smile.gif[/img] yeah! the theory works obviously it holds less if they are encoded at say 160Kbps [ 08-31-2005, 08:11 AM: Message edited by: Vaskez ]
