Question about the ipod touch?? helpp?

Question

im getting the ipod touch 16 gb in november. and i thought that it could hold 3500 songs, 20,000 pics, and 20 hours of video playback.

but then my dad said that it could only hold 3500 songs OR 20,000 pics OR 20 hours of video playback.

example, like if you devoted the entire ipod to songs, 3500 songs would take up the entire ipod's memory.

which is true?

-thankss

Answer 1

They are advertising that 16GB can store X amount of music OR X amount of photos, etc... That being said, this number is based on an average file size of about 4.5MB per song, 800KB per photo, and so on... so your personal experience will vary.

Also, the useful storage space of a 16GB iPod is more like 14.5GB or so due to pre-installed software (like the OS) taking up some room.

Answer 2

it really depends on the quality.i hasve 16 hours of video and it only takes about 2 gigabytes. I think Apple meant one or the other, but if you dont mind slightly worse quality, 16 GB is plenty

Answer 3

First of all, congrats.  You're about to get an excellent touch-screen iPod.

Now, onto the question.

Sorry, but your dad's correct.  The iPod Touch can hold 3,500 songs, 20,000 pics, 20 hours of video, or mixed up.

Don't worry - 16 gb is plenty if you're not going to put movies on your iPod.  If you are, I'd recommend the 32 gb

Answer 4

It's or. It won't hold all of them. But those are their max (s) separately.

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure that apple measures the length of each song as 5 minutes so thats 3500 5 minute songs, and most songs aren't 5 minutes.  But if you had 3500 songs you could probably still have a few hours of video they have to say the capacity a little low to ensure that you have that many songs on it so they dont get sued if you cant get that many on.

Answer 6

I have the 16gig and i think that if u had 3500 songs(depending on the format, usually mp3) then you could still fit maybe 5 or so hours of vids and maybe a couple hundred pics but usually by those estimates they mean one or the other.  the 20k pics they mean are probably all high quality so in essence if you had just like a non high class camera with low megapixels you could probably fit way more than that

Answer 7

You're dad was right. The battery can hold 3500 songs or it can old 20,000  pictures or 20 hours of video. The advertisers just want you to see how much you can hold based on what you would like to use it for.
