Question

What iPod Nano should I get the 4GB or the 8GB?

Answer 1

Well depends how many songs you have.4GB will hold about 1000 songs and 8GB holds 2000 songs. However song length and format can effect these numbers. I would suggest the 8GB because you're music library will probably expand.  

Answer 2

Most definitely get the 8GB iPod Nano!  This is what I currently use and I am so happy with my purchase.  The 8GB is around $199.00 which is only $50.00 more than the 4GB which is a great deal when you think about it. It's almost like saying buy the 4GB for $149.00 but for $50.00 more you get an additional 4GB which is 1,000 more songs! $199.00 for 8GB and 2,000 songs capability is exactly what my thought process was when I purchased my 8GB.

For example I have 1,164 songs on my 8GB with 10.7MB of space free. It's capable of holding 2,000 songs in total but I listen to Metal so that genre of music and mp3 devices don't work well together since songs vary from 3:45 - 9:45. So my own musical preference is only allowing me to only access exactly 58.2% of my iPod's true space capabilities. (every song would have to be at a bit rate of 128kbps and hold a duration of 3:45 to fully take advantage of 2,000 songs).

Now if I were to have a 4GB nano I would be only able to listen to 582 songs with 10.7MB free space left which is also only 58.2% of the 4GB's true space capability of 1,000 songs (still keep in mind that every song would have to be at a bit rate of 128kbps and have a duration of 3:45 to fully take advantage of what is has to offer).

Also as you lower the bit rate of the mp3 the more space you can hold, though keep in mind if you make all your files lower than 128kbps you are ruining your sound quality for more space which is totally not worth it.  

I hope that I helped you way out the pro's and con's between the 4GB and the 8GB Nano!
