MMC Flash Memory Card

-----------------------------------

I put my friend's 4 mb MMC card into my MP3 player, but in the player I'm able to store about 16 mb of songs.  Could someone please explain this??

Thanks in advance

The player has its own internal memory?

or the card is really 16mb... i've never heard of anything smaller than 16mb before

yes the card does have internal memory but it has 64 mb of it.  oh and i don't know if this is significant but the MMC card that i borrowed was taken from a digital camcorder ( for photos ), and my friend said that possibly the 4 mb on the label was the measurement of space for photos.  But 4 mb should be 4 mb for any format shouldn't it? also, the card is really old, that's why it's only 4 mb.

your mp3 player probably compresses the songs into a different format, thus saving space

i think andy's explanation seems the most reasonable
