lattesurf, yeah I figured that the two albums used up all the space which is when I realised what I had bought.
The player was listed as 2 GB
here. It specifically states:
Memory Capacity: 2GB (Samsung flash chip) with the 2 GB in capital letters. Maybe it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller as they seem to deal mostly in clothing items, but I will have to wait to hear back from them before I decide what to do I suppose.
