| Probably a dumb question but I am looking to get a 160Gb I-Pod and all my music collection is stored as MP3 files. Is the whole of the hard drive available for MP3 files (apart from the necessary OS) or is there some kind of limit? |

| Should work as advertised. If you have the MP3s in iTunes, you can just let iTunes synch all that music to the iPod. 160 GB iPod (not I-Pod!!) holds about 152 GB of actual music, I'd guess. Could be 154 or 151, whatever. ![]()

| fyi, 160gb is assuming 1kb is 1,000 bytes, which it isn't really, it's 1,024 bytes. so for every kilobyte, you lose 24 bytes, effectively. this means that an 80gb hard drive is actually 74gb usable, and i'd guess a 160gb HDD at about 148gb usable after it's been formatted.

| Apple says the 160gb holds "40,000" songs, but Apple also said that the old 4G (non color, but w/ the click wheel) 20gb iPod holds 20,000. So, it SHOULD hold 160,000, approximately...

| that's absolute twaddle. 40gb was always rated at 10,000 songs, 20gb was rated at 5,000 songs, and 4-5gb was rated at 1,000 songs. 60gb was 15,000 songs.
