I dont know if this is the right place to post it but...

I got an ipod mini for Christmas and its supposed to hold 1000 songs (or 4GB) but my ipod is FULL at only 873 songs (3.72GB). What gives?

 

3,7 u get after formating it - thats the real capacity. plus after formating soft uses some of your drive. thats normal.

 

about 1000 songs, pending length of songs and using ACC compression.

 

Damn im so pissed! For $50 more i couldve bought the 20GB one that holds a LOT more.

ANOTHER question... If i were to sell this ipod i have now and get a 20GB one, would i have to reinstall itunes or can i still use my itunes but just a different IPOD?

 

Hey guys, first post here...

You can use your existing tunes with a new iPod. If you plug your new 20gig iPod into your computer, itunes will ask if you want to transfer all your songs to your new iPod, just like it did with your iPod mini.

I agree that you should just drop the $50 and get the 20gig iPod. Even that will fill pretty soon.

Hope that helps.

BTW I hope to have pics of my iPod install in my 1st gen CL pretty soon.

 

I can store infinite songs in my head for free, so there. You are all suckers! :P
