i have one similar and 50 songs is enough of a playlist for me at the gym. i have 500+ songs, etc. because i don't have the time to sit there and "cycle through" songs on it over and over again. it gets annoying. plus sincei 'm always connecting to my computer every few days to get new songs -- it's not a big thing to re ul my new playlist with fresh new songs. Works out awesome. plus no worry about breaking or loosing some 300 dollar gizmo.
