[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1071910, member: 89124"] Hi, Memory is different then storage. Memory refers to your RAM which is used dynamically by the system - it's overall use is determined by the nature and quantity of programs you run. Storage is where - in your example - your 35 songs are stored. The amount of available storage is reflected in your hard drive space. Easiest way to find that out is to open Finder - assuming you've only got one disk, and the finder opens to your home folder or the Applications folder, at the bottom it will display how much storage is available. The terminology is important because if you need to upgrade your storage, you're changing out different hardware then you would be should you need to upgrade your memory (RAM). [/QUOTE]
