Hi this is my first post! Well I have an Ipod nano and I have over 500 songs on it. It's a 4gb. My Uncle has the same kind but he says he can put upto 2000 songs on his by changing the size of the songs. I totally forgot how to do it and I was wondering if anybody could help?

You need to make the change in the iTunes preferences. It's under "importing" or something like that. You need to change the bitrate that songs are encoded at when they're imported. Understand that going below 128k is probably unacceptable as far as sound quality is concerned. The lower you go, the worse the song is going to sound. Sure, you can fit 2000 songs on your nano, but they'll sound like poo.
