hi, i have just brought a mp3 player, but it says it has flash memory only what does that mean. also it has 256mb how many songs can i get on it thanks
Flash memory means the memory is a microchip, and not something like a miniature hard drive found in larger capacity players. Flash memory can be written to a large number of times, and will retain the information if the unit's power source is removed.
To help you figure out how many songs you can fit in the space you have, you should read the TechLore article "How Many Songs Are Supposed to Fit on My MP3 Player?" There are instructions provided to help you figure it out.
What player did you buy? What are your impressions of it thus far?
