I knocked the library down to about 1.8 gigs... still too large so I knocked out some songs that I don't listen much to. Turns out that 96 kb/s really SUCKS anyway, so I'm gonna try again at 128 and see if it's bearable. I'm no audiophile but most of my stuff is 192.

ANYHOW (getting to the point of this post) I found a neat little option in MM that will pick songs at random to fill up your storage device or memory card... I don't own an iPod but I think thats what iTunes does for the Shuffle.

I have a spare 512 card that should hold about 100 songs at 128 kb/s... that should get me through a day at work. Music sure makes the time go by faster.
It depends on what format you're trying to encode them in. I found a OGG converter that converts MP3's to a smaller format and still sounds good. WMV is also a good format at 128kbps.
