20 odd-songs sounds about right for a 128MB for MP3s.

Average size of MP3 song is about 5MB.

20x5 = 100.

So they must already be MP3s... sorry about that.

windows media. it's just a different audio format.

MP3 files aren't always the same size - it depends on the length of the song, and the quality of the encode process. 30 songs is just an estimate.

You could get more songs on there, but you'd have to reencode all your songs. And that's where something like Nero comes in.

Though Nero isn't an ideal program for this stuff. I can direct you to free software for making MP3s from CD, if you like.

Download the latest Windows Media Player here. You can make MP3 or WMA files from CD with it.
