How many songs are in 250 MB?

Answer 1

This is highly dependent on the compression level and type, as well as the average song length. To use as an example, my extremely high quality mp3 files (256kb/s) take up about two megabytes per minute. Assuming the operating system counts a gigabyte as a billion bytes, or one thousand megabytes, your 250GB hard drive will take 125,000 minutes of audio of this type and compression level. This is roughly equivalent to 2,083 hours of music, or 31,250 four minute songs. Other forms of compression which allow higher quality audio (such as FLAC) will leave you with many fewer.

Answer 2

This is just an estimate, but I'm thinking approximately 50,000 songs or so. I have a 500 GB hard drive that is a little over half full and I have a well over 65,000 songs on it. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

60,000 songs if you do not have anything else taking up memory on your iPod.

Answer 4

That answer would entirely depend on the size of the songs.

Answer 5

There is a simple formula in mathematics (scientific term: Arithmetic, most specifically the devil's). That formula is very simple to remember, as well! It is the CubeRoot(Mb(2/2+1-1)^3)

Answer 6

about 125,000 or maybe62500

Answer 7

15000-20000 songs

Answer 8
