Question

newbie to mp3 lots of questions Please Help

Mar 6, 2012 1:14AM PST

Hello Im new to Mp3 I have an xm radio right now and I like it but for my job I have to unwrap the antenna each day and string it out then take it all back down and the end of each shift. Thats a pain and the cords and radios dont last to long.

Im trying to figure out if i can use an mp3 player instead of my XM radio and listen to my music and play it through the truck radio?

Im also trying to figure out itunes? can you down load music for free? I like lots of music but not the whole CD many times. If you are a member and pay the $10 per month can you down load unlimited songs for free instead of buying each song?

Please help me out any help would be greatly apprecaited this is the mp3 player i was thinking of getting

one more question does anyone have any idea how many songs I could Possible put on this with 8GB?
Thank You and sorry for all the questions I just love music and hope i can get this figured out with some help

Answer
It writes 42 hours of MP3 play.

Since songs vary in length and more, it's likely that 42 hours of content may be enough for many.
