What can i do to load more songs? Do i need to convert my songs in C: drive file to mp3+g and how will I do that? Can you help me? I tried several ways but didn't work. What's the best thing to do?

I'm not an expert on this particular question but...
I believe that KMA made from disk are smaller than mp3g's (@ the same bit rate). However KMA made from mp3g's or zipps will be roughly the same size as the mp3g file is not converted to anything, just copied and has a header added to it for the database to read. Hoster uses a different player to play those KMA's than it does for KMA's made from disk or BIN or CDG.
If you don't keep at least 15% of your C: empty you'll have problems defragmenting, so you'll definately want to go external. This one reason I've shied away from laptops.
