i am looking to upgrade my ipod classic 160Gb with a new one, but apple doesn't list how many songs each model can hold, anymore. Does anyone know roughly how many songs the 32 and 64 GB models can hold?
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Calculating it the same way as the figure for the 160GB iPod, 8000 and 16000.

Apple stopped list the number of songs because there is so much difference between the various songs that the estimates were totally inaccurate.
actually that answer doesn't really help me. what do you mean calculating it??... right now my 160 GB still works and right now it only has 5,000 songs on it but i was looking to get one with bluetooth capability so i can play my music in my pool to swim with and i need a bluetooth capable player... I need to know if 64GB can hold 5,000 songs or not or can it hold more than 5,000.
If the same assumptions are made for it as the ones for the 160GB iPod, it'll hold 8000/16000 songs. As Allan wrote, this figure can be totally inaccurate.
What really matters is how much storage space those 5000 songs take up.

Its very close to impossible to accurately tell how many songs a device will hold. Because that comes down to the the file size of the songs and that can change drastically depending on the quality of the song, the length of the song, the compression of the file etc...
You can have a song that is 3MB, and a song that is 8 or 10MB.
Your best bet is to know how much space your 5000 songs are taking up in your iPod. if they take less than 35% of the 160GB Then you'll know if they will fit in a 64GB iPad.
But only you can know that. nobody else can possibly tell you whether they will fit or not, because nobody else knows how much space they take up.
thanks for the reply, even though it is not possible to say exactly how many songs the 64 or 32 GB can hold, it does give me an idea of how many it can hold....
Thanks so much!

how many songs does the new ipod 32 and 64 GB holds?
