I do not believe this is free, as song storage charges usually appear ! Is there a limit to amount of songs that can be stored free ?

The non-subscription version of Amazon's cloud player allows for the storage of a maximum 250 tracks. The paid version allows for up to 250,000 tracks to be stored, for 21.99 per annum. I believe you need an Amazon account to use the free version, & it comes as an automatic extra if you purchase & register a Kindle HD tablet. A nice touch is that if the tracks you are uploading are in the Amazon catalogue at a higher bit rate, they upgrade those tracks at no cost to the customer. The music can be accessed on up to 10 devices. I have around 480 GBs of music, and to store that as data on a hosting site (for back-up purposes) would cost as much per month as the cloud player does a year )

It depends on the music file size. 1 GB = 1000 MB's. The average song is between 5 and 6 MB's. So you should get between 1336 and 1500 songs (allowing for a bit of dead space on any drive for software)

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

There are several variables involved in answering this question. It depends on the length of each song and the capacity (Or the number of minutes) your memory card in the machine will hold. The memory card included with the machine is limited and holds about an hour or two of data. I purchased the largest memory card available for this machine and it holds about six hours of music/data. It works great and I can't say enough about how good this machine sounds. It's excellent!

I think the "recommended" max is 16GB (and 8GB for certain kinds of music file formats), but I've seen posts from users who've exceeded the OEM "recommended" size with no problem. I use a 16GB card ... zero problems. However, if you're inclined to try a larger card, I'd stop at 64GB.

If I remember right, there is a slot for each, usb and SD card. It should have the capablity to draw from both. The computer graphics for pulling up songs from each may be a little tedious, and you may want to use a computer and just transfer your playlist to one device, to make the job simpler.

I use PC and Windows and Ubuntu so I do not know that music files from itunes library can be stored or not.But as it is a storing device for any type of file so my guess is that it should.

I know that you can put the music into folders but I did not do that. I would just dump the mp3 files on to the card and use it that way.

When selected in "My Computer" it only shows 7.96 GB free. Apparently you'll need to utilize some sort of file compression or leave something out.

This USB in particular is 16 GB in size, this will typically hold around 5,000 songs. Assuming that each song has a bit-rate of 128 kbps and lasts 3:30 minutes.Keep in mind that this is a USB Flash drive, not an mp3 player. This device will only work for storing your music (or any type of data). Picture it as a portable hard drive.

Assuming you are using standard quality MP3, then a typical pop song is 3-4MB. I am not sure how much of the memory is taken up by the OS. Another person said 2.1GB (seems like a lot). That would leave 13.9GB to store music. 13,900/3.5 = 3,971 or about 4,000 songs. If you have high quality MP3 (i.e. lossless) or use a different file format or have a large number of long classical songs, then you may get fewer songs. However, as another person pointed out, you can listen for hours/days without repeating song with a few thousand songs. Unless you have an unusually large music collection and all must fit on this device or you plan to have video too, 16GB should be fine.

Not exactly my dream come true in terms of organization. The way I found around it is to organize my files in different folders on my computer and only then copy the files to the memory chip on the XiiO. At the end waht matters is how many songs you will save on file and how well you can organize them... Best of lucks!

Songs are preloaded! and There are apps to purchase like kids bop (my earlier answer was incorrect--&gt;&gt; I added the correct info below complete with songs

I don't think so. You can organize it into folders, but all songs play in the order they are put onto the mp3.

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

I got an email asking me to give an answer. I don't use any open architect OS - I use Windows. But, it would seem if you delete the files maybe if you empty trash they will go away? Or perhaps the music is stored in a different folder than the actual play list? I'm sorry, I don't know- haven't had that problem

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.
