MP4 Player?

[CHANGEME]

You guys are all nerds, right? Normally I'd just ask Ninmast and save face, but since he's off in crazy world somewhere...

My dad's in one of those companies that gives you points for random stuff, and you can spend said points on generic imitations of actually cool stuff. He's looking at an MP4 player that:

Made of aluminum that holds up to 512MB. Easy to use control panel. Includes: ear buds with a 51" cord, USB cable with a 30" cord and AC adapter.

That's all it gives you on the product. Now, I know enough to know that 512MB aint hardly half a gig, but I don't know how big an average MP4 song is and thus how many songs it can hold, I don't have iTunes so I don't know if you can convert songs to MP4 on that, or whatever. I think all the man really wants to do is listen to his favorite Jesus music while riding his bicycle.

Help a brother out?

... they have MP4 players? I didn't even know MP4's existed.

Are they, like, music files or video files?

Anyway, assuming the compression are better than MP3's, that'd be like getting, maybe, a 1 GB MP3 Player? I really don't know... I'll ask a friend and edit this post when I get a reply from him.

I got a few MP4's they tend to be about 34 to 35 MB each. So about 14 MP4's.

Reason I love my MP4 player. It holds 80 gigs, or about 2340ish MP4's.

(And yes... I know I'm spoiled rotten.)

Holy cow, Veros. Overkill much? That's ridiculous. There's not even a POINT in having that much space. What a waste of money.

In answer to size, it's EXTREMELY RARE for MP4s to be that size. And most MP4 players can also play MP3s, so it shouldn't be a big deal, anyway. 512 MB is exactly half a gig, and it's pretty decent space for a portable player like that. You're talking roughly 100 songs, and if that for some reason isn't enough, you can change the songs out at any time.

Well... My MP4's are all to Fall Out Boy songs... Or Tokio Hotel... And they've got some pretty long songs...

Yeah there is... Its only got *checks* 2 gigs of space left... after all my music, movies, and DnD books I've shoved on it.... Oh and pictures... *^.^ I love the purple rose*

(Also, I didn't pay for it... Dad did xD! *Like I'd waste my money on it?*)

[Ninmast]

Yeah, when you mentioned being spoiled, I figured it was a gift. Still overkill in my opinion. But then I voluntarily took only 80 gigs on my laptop's hard drive space because I didn't need it. I have a 250 GB hard drive on my desktop, I keep unused files backed up online and 80 gigs was as small as I could get. I admit, I'm a shameless neat freak. Everything with a place and everything in its place. I have four icons on my desktop, My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin and My Network Places, one in each of the four corners. Nothing else is on my desktop. My SUBFOLDERS are sorted into subfolders. I could have afforded more gigabytes than my desktop has, but I didn't need them, so I saw no point in spending the money.

[Veros]

*stares* My Desktop.... has... total cover. And my folders have sub-folders with sub-folders with sub-folders with sub-folders.... Ex. Music folder, broken into genre, broken into bands, broken into albums.... Ex. PDF folder, broken into DnD and Non-DnD, broken into (in the DnD) D20, DnD, Ravenloft, Winterwolf, etc., broken into Wizard or not, broken into further into general, magic (divine and arcane subfolders), melee, range, stealth.

xD! And I still can't find anything... Cause everything unsorted is on my desktop or in the 8 unsorted folders...
