How many songs can 50GBs hold?

Answer 1

Most mp3 players say they hold about 250 songs per gigabyte (GB). At that usage, 12,500 mp3-encoded songs can be stored within 50GB. There is a higher-compression standard called wma, where music takes half the space. So 50GB would hold about 25,000 wma-encoded songs. And you can store a combination of types. The above is a generalization; in reality the song capacity depends on the compression settings. The 250 songs/GB number assumes compression of 128Kbps. Other rates could result in larger or smaller files, meaning less or more songs stored. And of course the song lengths are a factor.

Answer 2

Anywhere between 80,000 to 125,000
