iPod survey
On average, iPod owners than owners of other digital music players, according to a recent survey cited by Macworld UK. The average number of songs carried was 375. Researchers found that 50 percent of the sample group carried under 100 songs, with iPod owners storing an average of 504 songs on their player. In the sample group, 53 percent of all user music players used were iPods. Sony and RCA tied in second place with 9 per cent share each. Also noteworthy is the the number of music listeners using online services to buy music. Just 22 per cent of digital music player owners bought a song online at some point in the past, according to the survey.

Duh
Most other players are small flash devices, not HD devices.
I can't imagine walking around with just 100 songs. h***, the average of 500 is just sad. Right now, my 30GB ipod has 5951 files. And that's not even my complete song catalog. I'm stuck waiting for a new 60GB (having to choose songs to put on the thing is just too hard for me, who knows what mood I'll be in 5 hours from now).
