What does the 'other' stand for in the iPod space capacity?

Question

On my iPod the other is taking up more space than my movies and music. I just want to know what it is so maybe I can delete some of the stuff.

Answer 1

i have an ipod classic and i download a lot of stuff and save it on my ipod drive you know when you enable it as a disk drive i save them there to convert them later and that's what it always shows all the stuff that's saved up that i downloaded...anything you save on the disk drive that's the other ...

Answer 2

If you don't have many games, photos, etc., it's probably your album artwork.  Album artwork DOES take up memory; whether or not you want to keep it is your choice.  I think it makes the user interface of the iPod look nicer (especially with the split-screen navigation), but if you're tight on memory capacity, you might want to consider deleting some of your album artwork.

Answer 3

in ipod touch/iphone, apps, notes, calendar, etc.

in older ipod models, u can store files on ipod.

thsts all the help i can give.

Answer 4

The other stands for like games, contacts, calendars, and album artwork. If you have no games installed and you aren't storing any files on it, It is probably a glitch and I suggest you restore in iTunes because most 'other' things shouldn't take up too much memory.

I hope I helped!
