It depends on what bitrate you rip your music at. Even if you ripped using Lame APS, you'd be able to squeeze 4/5 albums on there. Rip lower at 128kbps and you could get 10+ I'd say, at a guess.

I covered all this at Uni but I'm not going to try to put it into my own words at 2:53am, I'll spaz it up. It'll make more sense if you read this.....

[quote=Wikipedia]
Bit rate

The bit rate, i.e. the number of binary digits streamed per second, is variable for MP3 files. The general rule is that the higher the bitrate, the more information is included from the original sound file, and thus the higher the quality of played back audio. In the early days of MP3 encoding, a fixed bit rate was used for the entire file.

Bit rates available in MPEG-1 layer 3 are 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kbit/s (103 bits per second), and the available sample frequencies are 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. 44.1 kHz is almost always used as this is the audio CD frequency, and 128 Kbit has become the de facto "good enough" standard. MPEG-2 and (non-official) MPEG-2.5 adds more bitrates: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160 kbit/s.

Variable bit rates are also possible. Audio in MP3 files are divided into frames which all have a bitrate marker, so it is possible to change the bitrate dynamically as the file is played. This was not originally done, but VBR is in extensive use today. This technique makes it possible to use more bits for parts of the sound with high dynamics (much "sound movement") and less bits for parts with low dynamics, increasing quality and decreasing storage space further. This method compares to a sound activated tape recorder which saves the tape space from when silence was prevalent for the times when sound is being heard. Some encoders utilize this technique to a great extent.[/quote]

my brother was looking at that on cnet. It seems like a good deal.

Wait, lemme get this straight. Apple couldnt be bothered to put a shuffle feature on the old IPOD, so now we have to buy some new thing that does nothing BUT shuffle? Their marketing has reached a new low in retardedness.
