Hello. I encode my music at 192Kbits/sec. Most of my music is pop music, meaning songs range in average length from 2 to 8 minutes. With that arrangement, I can get about 160-170 songs on a 1GB card. So, with 512MB, that's about 80-85 songs. -Brian On Jun 29, 5:29pm, Tyler Wood wrote: } Subject: [bookport] how many songs can i fit onto a 512 MB flashcard? } This is a multi-part message in MIME format. } } ------=_NextPart_000_0064_01C69BA1.A36C46E0 } Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" } Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable } } Hi, } } I have around 1000 songs which I know aren't all going to fit on a 512 = } MB cf card.
