Questions about capacity on 30g

I JUST unboxed my 30G ipod. It states its capacity as 27.8G with nothing on it.
I loaded 350 songs on it, and now it only has 22G of capacity left. At this rate, I'm only going to get 2,000 songs on it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Yes, I am a newbie to these things.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem , I loaded 250 songs decoding them with aac(1,014 mg's)and my 30 gig shows I only have 5.27 gigs of storage left.
Is there any way to clear the hard drive out.

Are you by chance using your iPod as an external hard drive as well?

I tried to load songs that way buy dropping and dragging them but I cannot see them anywhere.

That doesn't work, and it wasn't what I was asking. Do you use your iPod as an external hard drive or not?

No I have not, I just purchased it a few day's ago so the only thing I have been trying to load is songs.

Hi,
In iTunes preference --> iPod --> Photos, make sure you don't copy the orginal photo
