Why does the sfp-150 and sfp-190 hold less than 128 MB of music when it says is is supposed to hold 128 MB?
The amount of free space that is registered is dependent on the application that is calculating it. Almost every application varies in the way that bytes are calculated and one important thing is that bytes and bits are not decimal calculations but binary calculations. This can most easily be seen with your hard drive. Let’s say you purchase a computer with a hard drive that was advertised as having 30 GB of space, but when you look it up in Windows, it only shows 28.2 GB of capacity. For example, I purchased a 100 GB hard drive. Windows says that it only has 93.1 GB available, but right next to it, you see 100,…,…,… bytes. Taking these bytes and doing an incorrect decimal conversion would yield 100 GB, but this is incorrect, because you are mixing decimal conversion with binary numbers. When hooking up the SFP-150 to a Windows 2000 machine, it registers as 122 MB and right next to it 128,155,648 bytes. Again, doing a decimal conversion comes to 128 MB. It’s just the way all stor
