Interestingly, if you flip that question around and ask How many songs fit on my phone?, the answer is no more than 100 (regardless of size/bit rate) even though 100 songs should only take about 400Mb. Why? DRM fun for the family: iTunes 5 keeps track of the number of tracks authorized for playback on the phone so even if your 100 tracks have used only 350MB of the card’s capacity, you can’t add more. http://playlistmag.com/weblogs/todayatplaylist/2005/09/hiddengoodies/ index.php?

Stew I expect it's Apple's response to the phone networks/Motorola insisting that you be able to download music to the phone directly (ie not using iTunes). I'm not sure if Apple still gets a cut of the profits from that.

Re: Apple ipod Nano, iTunes mobile, iTunes 5
I'll answer my own question - i think. How much flash storage will I need to store songs on my phone? Most ROKR phones will come bundled with 512 MB flash cards, which allows you to store up to 100 average-length songs. If your phone doesnt come with a 512 MB card, you will need 128MB of available flash storage space to store 25 average- length songs on your phone. To store 50 average-length songs on your phone, you will need 256MB of available flash storage. Rod Blitvich Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Cool stuff Derek! How many songs can the phone hold?
