Q: Which new model iPod will hold about 500 songs?

I do not have an iPod.  I want to buy a new model that will hold about 500 songs.  My songs are on my Apple computer.  I want to download them onto an iPod so I can take it with me.  My music has been purchased through Spotify and Amazon.  Which model do I need to transfer the songs I have on my computer?  Thank you.

    500 songs should fit on about any device. For an idea of how much space it takes up, on your computer, right click on the folder your music is in andcheck the properties. That'll give you an idea how much storage you n eed for that music. And will give you an idea how large of a device you need.

    One thing to bear in mind, if your device is a 4 gig player, well it really had 3 gig and change of space, so always allow more room

     

    As to getting them onto the device, whatever device you get will have a manual with specific info and steps. Generally you import those songs into iTunes and use iTunes to sync it onto your device. But one thing to consider, your purchased music may have DRM - digital rights management - which is programming in the music that controls where it can be transferred to and how it can be played. So you may want to make sure your amazon music can be transferred onto a device and what limits there may be.
