I have a new ipod touch 32 gb. I want to sync 2,250 songs from itunes, but it won't sync - it says I don't have enough space. A 32 GB is suppose to hold up to 7000 songs! I have not put anything else in it. What am I doing wrong?

The "rated" capacity is based on a nominal length songs compressed with the 128 kbps ACC compression wihc is a compressed mp3 type format. In the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes you can select that compression. Also, for the newer iPOds, Apple does not even specify how many songs the iPod can hold.

What is the format of your songs?

That worked, thanks. Question - I will be using this ipod with the sound system that plays in all of the rooms in our office. Will there be a sound quality issue with this compression?

Unlikely, unless you plan on 'concert' level, and have speakers capable of it over 8 octaves or so.
