That sounds about the right amount of space for 200 songs. Each song is around 4MB under standard iTunes AAC encoding.
I am having the same problem with my Messages saved, though. It tells me I have 8GB of messages saved. Only started happening after iOS7. Apple needs to fix this.
This is a very late response as i just looked into it, if any one sees it it will be great. Well the problem is that messages were still get archived and so the attachments you were sent through sms or imessage. Now that the jailbreak is out, i was scrolling around in my phone through ssh. I was also wondering why theres 2.2GB of saved messages when i had deleted all my messsages? So i found the path to the sms folder though ssh ( lucky guess lol ) And then i deleted the attachments that were archived from years back and old drafts that had no point because they were old. So here is the fix. First have a jailbroken iPhone. SSH into, if you dont know how, youtube it. Go to Private/Var/Mobile/Library/SMS . Here you can go inside the Attachments folder and delete everything inside. Do the same for the Drafts. LEAVE THE REST ALONE. Go to your settings and watch your regain your GB's. Hope it helps !
