How much music and podcasts can the Apple shuffle 1 GB hold?
Apple said the 1GB Nano can hold 240 four-minute 128Kbps AAC tracks, the same as the 1GB Shuffle. What it didn’t explain, however, was how the 2GB device can hold 500 songs formatted the same way. In other words, that 100 per cent extra capacity can hold 108 per cent more songs. The 4GB Nano, which is said to hold a 1000 songs – the same number as the original, 5GB iPod – holds 1000 tracks, double the number held by the 2GB Nano but well over four times’ the number the 1GB Nano can take. Apple stressed that the new Nano, like the other members of the line-up, ships with a case, the better to protect its colour display from unwanted scratches. Sources: http://www.reghardware.co.
