Hi everyone

Please forgive this question but I have hunted the net with no luck finding an answer. I feel like a real gumby as I can't find anything on what I'm doing wrong.

I bought my 12 year old a cheap MP3 player with 1GB memory on it. Didn't want to spend heaps at this stage as he is only 12 not sure how often he will use it.

I have been using Windows Media Player to rip across his CD's to the MP3 player which has worked great, until...

I reached the 6th CD and it is now telling me there is no room on the disk. How can this be if there is 1GB on the player and I have only ripped 5 CD's with approx. 20 songs on each CD.

I'm doing this bit by bit every night when he goes to bed as it is a surprise for his birthday and am stuck now as I don't know what to do.

Am in panic mode now as I only have a few more nights left to finish it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Check how much space has actually been occupied on the mp3 player, at what bitrate are you ripping these songs because the better the quality the more space it will take.

(Hmmmmmmm....) I don't think they're "cheap" at all. I just bought a "cheap" 1-GB mp3 player (a 'Diamond') and it cost about $100 (Can$) here at a Canadian Walmart. :-)

Are you sure you're saving the music as compressed .mp3 files? You *may* be transferring them over as uncompressed .wav files, which would fill your little player up pretty fast.

(Hmmmmmm...) come to think of it, you can't be using wave files - two cds would be too much for a 1 gb player, and you already have 5 cds in there.

I'm stumped! :-\
