Question

how many songs can a 2GB nano hold?

My daughter has an ipod mini that holds 1000 songs on it. Her mini and my sons ipod nano are on the same account so they share the same songs. My daughter has 265 songs total and was trying to update my sons nano. When she tryed it said that he didnt have enough room left on his ipod. When i ordered the nano i thought that a 2GB held up 2 500 songs. Am I wrong? If not, why wont 265 songs fit on my sons ipod?

A 2GB iPod nano will hold as many songs and other types of data as will take up 1.8GB. If the iPod is being used to store files or photos, or if the music on it is in AIFF or Apple Lossless format, the actual number of songs which will fit on the iPod may be greatly reduced. In the first case, delete any unnecessary data from the iPod, and in the second, use these instructions to convert the songs to MP3 or AAC format. AAC songs will give you better quality for the same amount of disk space.

If the Nano says there is much more data on it than there really is, you may want to restore it:
