Coby MP3 Player Software?

Someone bought a Coby MP3 Player for their daughter. They were told it can hold approx. 40 songs. They can only get about 7 on it. The software that came with the Coby is just to configure it, via, USB port, to a computer, to download songs to it. Is there any software that is compatible with "compressing' or changing the format so more songs can fit on the Coby MP3 Player?
 
"Someone" was told it can hold 40 songs. Those songs are probably encoded at a lower bitrate than what your mp3's are encoded at.
Is THIS the Coby player that "Someone" bought ?

Notice it has 32mb built in. That's enough for 32mb of mp3's. 128kb/s mp3's are about 1mb/min of song.
Highlight the mp3's you want to move over & right-click & choose properties, to see how large the mp3's are.
32mb is really only good for close to 1/2hour of music. So if those 4 songs are about 5-6 mins each, that's about right.

I notice it says there's a Smart Media card slot, so just buy a SM card for more memory
 
Yep, that's the one. It's a Coby MP-C400. I will pass that information along. I was told that they could only get about seven songs on it, and, someone told them they could get 40 if they were converted to the right format. From my knowledge of file size of songs, I doubt that, but, then, I have rarely downloaded any music and played it, other than a few mp3's myself.
