Mine holds 7500 songs, but I only have about 2000 on it.  My son sometimes downloads shows and movies onto it for me to watch (I don&#39;t know how to do that) and if it were full of songs, there wouldn&#39;t be room on it for the videos.  I also have photo&#39;s on it, so when we travel, I have a lot of family pics I can look at when I get to missing them....they really are great, but I imagine that in a few years, they will be obsolete and something new will have come along.
