Stupid question re memory & SEW850i

Hi i have just upgraded to a SEW850i and would like to know roughly how many songs you would expect to save on the memory stick. I got a 1g free with the phone.
Thanks

You probably get around 200 to 230 if you remove the ones already on the stick and have a 128k bit rate for each song. The lower bit rate the more song you can get on but the quality is not as good.

Thank you for that. The bumf that comes with the phone says it will hold 1000 songs but i guess that means using a much bigger card.

How long is a piece of string. The number of songs you can store is dependent on a number of factors. One of which being the length of the songs themselves obviously.

The other is the bitrate used. A CD has a bitrate of 1.4Mb/s approx. This equates to about 10MB of storage per minute, ie 100 minutes on a 1GB memory stick. A mp3 file encoded to 128kb/s uses about 1MB of storage per minute, or about 1000 minutes for your memory stick.

If you are a fan of 70s prog rock that probably equates to about three tracks But for an average pop song of say 4minutes duration that means about 250 songs on a 1GB stick.

To get 1000 3 to 4 minute pop songs songs on a 1GB stick you would need to encode at something like 32kb/s which I would not inflict on my worst enemy (I'm sure it contravenes the Geneva Convention on torture )
