You need iTunes to delete those songs. You can't do it from your nano.

Maybe you were short-changed for 0.3G

Don't you read the manual?
If you've no idea using it, read the manual.
if you've iTunes installed, if u wanna manually delete songs, go to iTunes>Preferences>iPod and select, something something manualy...something like select my songs randomly or whatso...

About the second thing, i believe its normal...

1. Read the manual. To delete you need to set it to "manually manage songs and playlists" than click on the nano in the source list and delete the song from the list that appears.

2. No, that's normal. 4000000000 bytes is 3.7GB.

The reason you are missing 0.3 gigs is because of formatting and the iPod OS.

No, 4,000,000,000 bytes is 3.91GB. The rest is occupied by the filesystem and iPod software. The 3.7GB free is, however, perfectly normal, just as you said.

It's the way that hard drive companies calculate memory. You can either say a gig is 1000 Megs, or 1024 Megs. It depends on the unit of conversion, blah blah blah. If you really want to understand it better, google for "calculating ram" or some such, "calclulating computer memory", etc.

That should help with that.

As far as the songs, the other posters are correct. Go into iTunes, select your iPod from the side and then go into Edit (or file?)>preferences. There you'll change it from auto updating to manual. Then you manually select or remove songs at will.
