"Roughly" How many songs does an Ipod 2GB Shuffle hold?

Hello Booferoo,

Thank you for the question. You can hold approximately 240 songs with 1GB. This will vary depending on the quality of the file for the song and the length of the song:

Chances are your songs are at a higher bit rate. Most likely 256 kbps.

There is an option to convert the songs to a lower bit rate when syncing with the iPod via iTunes (see the summary page). This would allow you to import more songs.

Correct if you go to the summary page right below the back up area you will see the drop down to lower the bit rate of the songs. You will not notice the difference when listening to the music. Some songs cannot be converted and you will get an error message sometimes letting you know which songs did not convert. But you will be able to hold so much more by doing this.
