How Many Songs Does it Hold?

I was wondering if anyone knew how many songs the iPhone 3G held at each size? Thanks in advance!

This depends on the size of each song in your iTunes library that you want to transfer. Was all the music in your iTunes library purchased from the iTunes store? Have you purchased any iTunes plus songs which is encoded at a higher bit rate and takes up more space? If some of your music was imported into your iTunes library from a music CD, what did you use for the encoding with the import? Using MP3 for the encoding uses a little more storage space than AAC for the same song.
Apple's XXX amount of songs that each iPod and iPhone can hold is based on one megabyte for each minute of music - a regular AAC encoded song that is 4 minutes in length is roughly 4MB in size.
Copied from this link about the iPod Touch, which will be similar to the iPhone for the 8GB and 16GB.

+Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding.+
Up to 1750 songs for the 8GB, and up to 3500 songs for the 16GB with no other data such as video and/or photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone.
I currently have "only" 670 songs available on my iPhone which takes up 2.91GB of storage space. If I listened to each song once straight through without stopping, it would take me nearly a full two days or nearly 48 hours to listen to each song once.

How many songs does an 8GB ipod touch really hold?

how many songs does an 8GB ipod touch really hold?

A little less than 1750 songs. The specs for older iPods specified a number of songs. For the 2G iPod Apple said:
Capacity
8GB, 16GB, or 32GB flash drive2
Holds up to 1,750, 3,500, or 7,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format3
The newer iOSs take more storage space so the number of songs will be reduced.

About 2000. How many you can actually put on it depends on the length and bitrate of the songs, as well as how much space is being otherwise used.

"Roughly" How many songs does an Ipod 2GB Shuffle hold?

Hello Booferoo,
Thank you for the question. You can hold approximately 240 songs with 1GB. This will vary depending on the quality of the file for the song and the length of the song:

How many songs does an old ipod shuffle hold?

how many songs does an old ipod shuffle hold?

There are four different iPod Shuffle models and as many different capacities, so the answer depends on which one you have, the average song length in minutes, and the encoding bit rate used.
Very approximately: Determine the iPod Shuffle's capacity in GB and multiply by 200. The maximum number of songs it can hold will be about that many.

How many songs does the IPod Nano 16GB hold?

I want to buy an IPod Nano 16GB and I want to know how many songs can it hold?

Kind of as an estimate, I have all my music at 256Kbps on a 32GB iPhone, I have about 2800 songs on it. You should probably half that for a 16GB Nano if all music is at 256Kbps taking into account deggies post as well.

HOW MANY SONGS DOES A 30 GB REALLY STORE

Hi-how many songs does a 30 GB really store--currently on approx. 1140 and I'm near half way full--I am concerned I think perhaps I should have gotten the 80GB

"Also is there a way to buy songs from the iTunes Store in apple lossless?"
Unfortunately no. That is one of the, several, complaints about the iTMS. First you have "protected" files that are not convertible to other formats (not directly anyway; you can burn to Audio CD then reimport), are not portable to other music players (again, not directly, work arounds exist), and to top it all off, they are advertised as "CD quality" but really you are buying a rather low bit rate for about the same as if you just went out and bought the physical CD instead. Of course, with CDs you can not buy just the tracks you want.
Hey maybe that is what Apple should do. Sell individual songs at 128kbps/MP4 but if you buy the full album you instead get 192+kbps/MP4s. Then you encourage the real audiophiles to buy albums, not singles. And artists can not complain that the iTMS method only sells their main hits and allowing users to not discover the other songs on their albums.

How Many Songs Can iTunes hold? My Library Is Becoming Quite Large

My iTunes library is getting very large, how many songs can it hold?

There is no fixed limit. However, running a very large library on a less-than-powerful machine may result in slow performance. Also, having too many smart playlists with live updating slows the machine down.
There are some big ones out there, even over 1 TB. Search the web on "biggest itunes library" for some war stories.

How many songs does the new ipod 32 and 64 GB holds?

i am looking to upgrade my ipod classic 160Gb with a new one, but apple doesn't list how many songs each model can hold, anymore. Does anyone know roughly how many songs the 32 and 64 GB models can hold?

Its very close to impossible to accurately tell how many songs a device will hold. Because that comes down to the the file size of the songs and that can change drastically depending on the quality of the song, the length of the song, the compression of the file etc...
You can have a song that is 3MB, and a song that is 8 or 10MB.
Your best bet is to know how much space your 5000 songs are taking up in your iPod. if they take less than 35% of the 160GB Then you'll know if they will fit in a 64GB iPad.
But only you can know that. nobody else can possibly tell you whether they will fit or not, because nobody else knows how much space they take up.

About how many songs does a 4th generation shuffle hold

thinking of buying one as a gift for my father, he doesnt need anything fancy, just something to hold music, so without podcasts or anything extensive, about how many songs average does a shuffle hold?

That depends on a number of factors including the format of the audio file, it's lenght, and the bitrate at which it is encoded. It roughly 500 tracks or so give or take a few.

How many songs can iTouch hold?

Approximately, how many songs can a 64gb iTouch hold? - the songs will be converted by iTunes to 128k and assume the average song length is 2 minutes 45 seconds. And I'm curious what the formula is. Thanks.

128 kb/s = 16 kB/s. 2 minutes 45 secs = 165 seconds. 16 x 165 = 2,640 kB = 2.64 MB.
64GB = 64,000 MB. 64000 divided by 2.64 = 24,242 songs.

HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs will that hold aproximately.

My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom. If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below. If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

16 GB Nano- How Many Songs Will It Hold

The box for the 16 GB says it will hold 4,000 songs. However, I have about 2400 songs in my library, and my current iPod 30GB says 17 GB is used. I would like to downsize to a Nano, but don't want to find out after I buy it that I have too many songs to load. I don't do video, but have a very small number of photos/addresses on it, so that won't be using up too much extra space.

Your 16GB Nano will have about 14.3 or so GB of usable space due to the way space is calculated by the OS vs. the manufacturers.
The 4,000 song estimate is based on using 128k formatting with an average song length of 4 minutes. If your songs are 256k you will only get 2,000 songs on your Nano, etc. So check the format and file size of your music.

I want to buy an iPod touch 64 GB w/ facetime. How many songs will it hold?

My husband wants to transfer some music from Cd's to my future iPod touch. About how much music will it hold?

The answer is "it depends"; it depends on how you import the CDs and what else you might put on the iPod. A song imported at 256 kbps AAC, which is the format used in the iTunes Store, takes up about 8.2 megabytes for a four minute song. The 64GB iPod touch has an actual usable capacity of about 59.4 gigabytes, so you can do the math from there.
Importing the CDs at a higher or lower bit rate (bit rate directly relates to quality; the higher the bit rate, all other things being equal, the higher the quality of the track) will reduce or increase the number of tracks you could put in your iPod. And of course the more apps, movies, videos, photos etc. you put in your iPod, the fewer songs you can put on it.
Regards.
