How the HECK did I do THAT?
I'm totaly mystified on this one.....
I bought an Ipod Mini. It has 4 gigs of space. You can only upload music to it from one station. But you can use it as a hard drive at any computer.
So this guy at work brought in his portable 200gig hard drive full of music. I dumped some on my Ipod (using it as a hard drive, so I would later put it on my home computer and upload it to listen to it.)
Well I got home and unloaded to find out that I couldn't fit more than 1/2 of it.... Somehow I brought home 6 gigs worth of music on my 4 gig Ipod

MP3 wont compress well though unless re-encoded to a lower bitrate. So, I wouldn't know UNLESS the file system on the iPod is vastly superior in terms of a very low kB per sector compared to your home machine, although most home computers should have 4kB sectors by now which doesn't allow for a lot of wasted space with such large files (lots of 1-3kB files obviously would waste space).
Unless you unloaded it onto a very small drive, but still I would not expect much waste even with 32kB sectors. So I dunno.

You can store crap inside the ipod using like a drive, but if you store music, you can't listen to it. You have to upload it from iTunes (so they t hink you aren't stealing anything.) iTunes uses the same MPEG format that I uploaded at work

OK! I figured it out. I forgot to dump the file for the music I brought home off the ipod. So I guess I had a copy of everything in there
4gigs is plenty of space for me I love this ipod.
