Is it true that the more songs you have on your ipod the less overall battery life?

Question

i have a ipod video nano 8 gb ( new style) and i have exactly 1194 songs on it. it takes up 4.28 gb of space on my ipod. the battery only lasts me about 3 hrs if i play it non stop. is this normal? for the battery to last me longer, do i need to delete songs from my ipod? i dont really listen to all my artists on my ipod, so this is one of my theories? PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

No, you don't those two situations are unrelated. What you need to do is go the apple store and get a new battery, or at least explain this situation to them and see what their suggestion is.

Answer 2

for a hard drive player it may be the case but with flash based memory it will not effect battery life.

Answer 3

Yah try deleting the ones you dont want because the ipod takes more energy in order to scroll and search through all those songs.

Good Luck!
