lol i got about 1057 songs on my ipod and not even close to filling the darn thing up. i had so much more music on there before i plugged my ipod into my old computer and it deleted everything somehow. i am just lazy about importing songs from my cd's. it takes forever.

OMG that sucks about loosing everything!! I am still working on adding songs to my iPod. My dad got me my iPod for my 18th birthday so I've had this for a little over a year. Its the iPod Classic 80GB. And yea I'm not even close to filling it up yet xD Before my ipod I had a Sandisk Sansa and it crapped out on me so I had to start ALL over cause my luck my laptop **** the bed too...lol

A little over 1200...and that's only:
Allman Bros Band (and solo albums & off-shoot bands)
Derek Trucks Band
Eric Clapton (plus Blind Faith & Derek and the Dominos...haven't gotten around to Cream, yet...nor have I completed loading all of the albums under his own name)
ZZ Top (first 7 albums)
Steve Winwood/Traffic (not complete yet)
Bob Welch (the two '80s albums)
Peter Green (his entire output post-Fleetwood Mac)
And, that only comprises barely 10% of the iPod's capacity...I may not need a second iPod for quite some time! :laugh: I never thought I'd ever OWN an iPod, if it weren't for actually WINNING one in a raffle about 6 months ago.

I've recently decided that I'll need to request a new ipod from Father Christmas/ Santa. I am at3650 songs and nearing capacity (25/30gb or so).
^^
A 30gig ipod should be able to hold 5,000-7,500 songs. Do you have video taking up a lot of space?
I have 5,000 songs on my ipod and a little less than 10 gigs worth of space left.

That's interesting-thanks.
The stats are capacity of 27.84GB and 3.15GB free. I have no video and tv, movie and podcast are all empty.
Audio is at 24.59GB, Photos at 19MB and Other is at 19.6MB (I don't know what other is).
I do have a lot of files that look huge--I just checked the sizes and there is great variability but I've got a lot of live songs that are well over 100mb each. Not sure if that's what's doing it or not.

i have an 8 gig ipod nano so i only have 1,041 songs on there, and one episode of true blood. i've got about 60-80 gigs of music on my external HD though.
I currently have 14,384 songs.
Have you actually listened to them all? Is it even possible to really know the songs when you have that many? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious. I'm finding at 5,000 things are getting out of hand. A track will come up on my ipod and I won't even know what it is. I have over 500 cds and haven't even loaded every single track off of them to itunes. Before the ipod I used to buy an album and get to know it. I miss those days. I still buy cds, but I usually dump the songs into itunes, and never get around to listening to it as a whole. It sorta feels like a waste.

I sold my 700+ CD Collection about 6 months ago. I regret it. :rolleyes:

I haven't listened to all of them by far but I do a TON of driving and my iPod is constantly on shuffle. If I don't recall a song that pops up, I make myself listen to it so I get a better understanding of the full contents of my iTunes library.
I miss the days of CDs and LPs, too.

Right now, 3,679. It's growing daily though. It seems every time I get to over 3,000, my iPod dies and I have to start over and I somehow lose a good bunch every time, but I've been okay for awhile with this one, knock wood. It's 80gb and almost full because besides the music, I currently have a 66 episode video podcast and about six seasons of ER on it.

Yeah I ripped most of mine to an external... But I still miss the jewel cases/artwork. I will actually get up from the PC at times and go my "CD rack" (that no longer exists) to check something. :(

as of right now, i have
1548
songs/music videos in my itunes. I have all of it on my iPod, but only like maybe 416 on my iPhone...as I have both, I only put the BEST on the iPhone [its more for emergency music situations than every day listening IMO.]
I also have a bunch of vids...
you guys with 2000+ songs, its quite impressive :thumbsup:

4341 songs....
I think I need to go through and delete some that I don't like. It's annoying when my ipod is on shuffle and always ends up playing the same songs that I dislike, so I'm constantly skipping them.

I just untick the ones I don't want in itunes. That way they are still there if I ever want to add them back. No need to delete them

I used to have around 2,800 on, but then my laptop crashed and my iPod broke so I couldn't even use Touch Copy to get them onto my iTunes on my old computer. But, I got my laptop back and now I have 522 songs. I hate having so few songs in comparison to what I had, as I'm missing some of my favourites.

I have several Mp3 players with a handful of music of Stevie/FM plus country tunes from the Sweethearts of the Rodeo. and some others.Also I have been recording Casey Kasems American Top 40 from the 70s and 80 and playing them back at work.
btw its nice to go back in time listening the those old countdown show and hearing Stevie/FM and other favorite songs are doing on the Billboard charts.btw I have all my music backed up on 2 external drives,I dont trust the Ipod or a standard mp3 player
to hold my entire music collection on it.On one time my Wal-Mart special Vr3 player crapped out and I lost a Stevies Live performance,but i was lucky to have a backup on cd in my archives.My suggestion,be wise ,backup all of you tunes on cdrs. dvds or on a outboard drive.I know people that lost their entire music collection,photos of lost love ones, and important business transactions on their main computer harddrives,and one person had to hire a data recovery firm for $1500.oo to recover their data from a dead harddrive. and lucky they got all of their data back.All those numbers of somgs on all of your music players blew my mind , anyway for petes sake please backup all your tunes.
4,270, and am constantly adding new albums.

I used to always back my iTunes up onto DVDs, and a lapse is what led to me losing so many songs. So yeah, great advice.
