Answer 1

WiMP isn't very good at ripping CDs. Under the "rip" tab there should be a place where you can specify that you want songs ripped as MP3 format, and 192kbps is good enough quality for most listening (although if you don't care too much squeezing by with 128kbps should be okay too).



You can put 1.8GB of music on a 1.8GB player. The amount that you compress the music dictates how much you can get onto it.

How many songs you can get depends on several factors, like the length of the song you put in, the format, and the quality of the song. If you ripped the song from a CD, there's a good change it's either a high-quality file or a lossless file and you can't get very many of those in there. If you a low-quality MP3, M4A, or WMA , you can get about 1MB/minute which means you can have 1800 minutes of music on your MP3 player or about 450 4minute songs. However, some places have increased the quality of the songs. iTunes for instance doubled the quality of the songs last year, from 128Kbps to 256Kbps, which means that it's now 2MB/minute for the songs and you could only get 225 4 minute songs on there. If you're using a lossless encoding, it would be way less than that.

It depends on the quality of the MP3 file. If the MP3 file is in a fair quality, say 128Kbps, each track will be around 3MB to 4MB avarage, meaning that you can place around 450 MP3 files on your MP3 player. If you use proper quality MP3 files however, 320Kbps, the size of an MP3 file gets perhaps trippled meaning that you can place around 150 MP3 file on your MP3 player. If you can only place around 30 files on your MP3 player, it means that each file is round 60MB avarage. MP3 files cannot be this big, unless each track would last around 25 minutes. You most likely did not rip the tracks as MP3, but as WAV instead. WAV, which is short for WAVE, is an uncompressed format, unline MP3 which is a compressed format. MP3 files are of less quality therefore than WAV files, but since they are smaller, MP3 files are much more popular. Instead of ripping your music as WAV file, convert them to MP3 so that you can place more tracks on your MP3 player. You can for example use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) to rip your CD's and convert them to MP3 using the LAME codec. EAC is free of charge and can rip your CD's securely, meaning that the rip will be exactly the same as the CD, without any possible errors.

It depends on your average song length. As a jazz junkie, my 4g ipod is maxing out at about 650 songs, due to the length of each one, but for an "average" length song, you should get about 1000 per gigabyte - the space used by the operating system
