Can anybody give an indication of how many MP3's one could expect to store on various sizes of SD Cards, say for example a 64mb & also a 128mb ?

Thinking of buying some more memory soon, and just wondering how much to get (also remembering that more is usually better).

Thanks

If you convert to WMA (You can easily do this using Windows Media Player) you can choose 32 bits/second (They call it "CD Quality"). I thought this would sound awful, but it doesn't... maybe on a nice Bose hi-fi setup it would, but not on your headphones. Travelling on the tube, it would be hard to tell if it sounds good or bad anyway since you'll get screeching in the background no matter what. It sounds just fine, and songs weigh in between 800k and 1.2 MB... so you get approximately 1 song per MB.

How it is possible to copy the .wma files to the SPV?
I have tried copying them in Explorer but the SPV says they are not licensed. In Windows Media Player on the PC I cannot get the Copy to Portable Devices to work,
as it always says that there is no space and 'The drive cannot locate a specified area or track on the disk' ?

Just drag the file from your pc into the storage card folder, works great!  :D

How is it that I just get a message saying 'The licence for this file cannot be found' when I do that. I'm obviously doing something wrong in Media Player, but I'm just dragging the .wma files ? :D

You guys love to confuse each other ... some CD's are copy protected and some are not. Hence some of you have licence issues and some don't.

Now this phone can only get better ....

I converted mp3 files using Power MP3 WMA Converter which is free from Download.com

Convert your cd to mp3 using something like audio catalyst then convert the file to WMA. You shouldn't have any copyright problems then. 48k is about the lowest acceptable quality WMA.

You can switch the license function off in Media Player.

So I've got my MP3 loaded now into WMP9... how do I save it to this new WMA format to pop onto the SD Card on the SPV ?

Help !
