Number of songs on 2G SD card

[nuropa]

my 1GB card was only able to hold 600MB or so of files at first. turns out it was in RAW format, formatted the card in pc using fat32 solved the problem.

considering which format is good for me, my test come with this result

ogg 96k > mp3 128k > wma 96k
ogg 96k > wma 128 > mp3 128k
ogg 112k > mp3 160k > wma 128k

lossless test
ogg 500k > wma10

oggy oggy oggy ..

As others have suggested, you might want to format the card to get to the full limit of the card.

A FAT16 file system (most likely what you will have your card) has the following limits:
1) Root directory is generally limited to 512 entries.
2) Other directories are limited to approx 2^16 entries.
3) The entire volume is limited to approx 2GB (4GB on some systems like XP).

I have about 6 GB of music on my device. Each folder by artist, then by album within that folder. No limits doing it this way.

Thanks. I created another folder, and was able to add more files.
