Please advise a novice..

Hi,
Am considering buying the Zen Touch 20gb after much research. Whilst I am aware that this apparantly holds "up to 0,000" songs, it seems this differs with mp3 or wma format.
I will be using mp3, so was wondering if anyone could give a rough estimation of how many albums this will actually hold? I realise albums differ in length, but assuming most are around the 45 min mark - am I looking at about 500 albums? More? less? May seem like a pretty simple Q, but just so I'm sure.
Any replies greatly appreciated.

It's not just the format which differs, it'll depend on the quality also. At the standard average quality 28 kbit/s, you are looking at about Mb/min. Hence with 20Gb, and 45 minutes per album, you are looking at around 450 albums. Of course if you increase the quality and the bit-rate, the number of albums will drop proportionately.

  • Please advise a novice computer artist on system requirements for large files in PS ?

    I am researching my next computer.
    I am an artist currently using CS2 to rework my paintings into prints.
    http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/ww198/blueridernz/Rachel%20Thompson%20Portfolio/?albumv iew=slideshow
    The paintings have been scanned at a high resolution and are 500MB.
    The image files I work with are large but the process simple, I am extracting and collaging.
    Nothing too technical here.
    As I will be printing large, 9' x 4', the end result file could be 2GB which I understand is the limit for PSD files.
    I am not gaming or editing video files, just working with large images.
    From what I have read I believe I need
    i7 Core
    12 GB RAM set of 3
    GeForce GTX 460
    Any advice truly appreciated,
    Rachel.

    The graphics card is perhaps a bit of overkill, if you really just paint and touchup in PS. A less power hungry and cheaper model would do just fine. The rest should do just fine, but keep in mind that all this is not going to do much good if you don't get a 64bit operating system and possibly also upgrade to CS5 to make use of all these resources. You might not even be able to install CS2 under Windows 7...

  • Can anyone please advise how I 'enable' extensions in Safari 5.0.6. on an iBook G 4?

    Hi, can anyone please advise me how I  'enable' extensions in Safari 5.0.6. I have an iBook G4?
    and secondly,  is there anyway I can update from 10.5.8 Mac OSX on my iBook G4 ?
    I am a complete novice.
    Many thanks.

    Try Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Upgrade from v10.5.8 on an iBook G4? No. The next OS X up from v10.5 Leopard is v10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Requirements for Snow Leopard include an Intel procdessor. Your iBookG4 is PowerPC.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

  • I was able to print my month view from ical, but no longer is "month" an option. I can only see list and day. Please advise!

    Just curious...about two weeks ago I was able to print my ical calendar in month view. For some reason, "month view" is no longer an option in print mode. The only two options I have are day or list. Not sure how to print in month view now or retreive that back. Please advise : )

    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • What is the difference between regular Aperture software and the app? If I were to buy an app or a software as a hobbyist, what should I buy??? Little confused between the two...Please advise.

    Dear All,
    I am a newbie to MAC world. Being an ex-PC guy, I am used to CDs and traditional software. I want to buy Aperture as my main photo editing software. I have been using DXO and Photoshop in the past. I downloaded Apeture trial version and I am comfortable with it. If I were to buy it, should I buy an app or traditional software CD. I edit approx. 4-5 pictures a day, just for personal use though. Please advise.
    Regards,
    Gurpreet.

    That's a function of your Credit Card not of the Software
    But you're right, I was vague. Whether you buy from the App Store or the Disk makes no difference to the functionality of the software. It's the same.

  • TS2755 My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when he come to my iPad 2 inbox, the photos do not show up. Instead I get 20-some characters. What is wrong? Please advise.

    My friend sends me photos from his iPad 2 via email. However, when they arrive in my inbox on my iPad 2, the photos do not show up. I receive 20-some characters. Please advise as to the problem.

    Try sending them via the Messages app as opposed to E-mail.
    E-mail shouldn't normally be a problem, but Messages will do as a soloution.
    To do so:
    . You need iOS 5
    1. Go to your Photo Gallery
    2. Open up the album/ images you want to send
    3. Press the share button (top right hand corner)
    4. Select 'Send as Message' (not e- mail)
    5. Select your friends Apple ID from your address book for his iPad
    6. Voila!
    - it's something along those lines...... my iPad is downstairs atm, but the actual way of doing it will be similar...... !

  • Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone...

    Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone or in iTunes. Prior to the last update, this was always an option. I have also noticed that the Ringtones and Alert Tones are not showing up in my recent purchases as well to allow for me to place them back on my phone and there for require for them to be purchased again... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I've discovered that all tones purchased will be downloaded as ringtones, BUT they can be utilized as tones and assigned as alert tones on the iPhone...
