Did you know blank CDs get heavier once you put a lot of data on them?

an extra half gram per mp3 @ 192 and add an extra ounze on that @256.

sorry

but can someone seriously answer me.

OK, serious answer. In short, no it doesn't.
The iPod stores it's contents on a small hard drive. Hard drives store data by creating patterns in the magnetic field of the disk's surface, so no physical material is added or removed from the drive when information is stored or removed, hence no change in the mass (weight) of the drive.

Of course to store large amounds of data you do need a larger and heavier drive as the disk needs to have more surface area, which is why a 40GB iPod is heavier than a 20GB model. However a 40GB iPo is going to weigh the same whether full or empty.
(I can't believe I just wasted the time to write all that)

Please note that an iPod with full batteries is 44g heavier than a flat iPod.

Actually 36-46 grams, depending on what you fill them with.

Mate, I apologise for my response. I've been involved with computers for so long it managed to tickle the old funny bone. It's probably like me pointing to the radiator cap in a car and asking a mechanic "is that where the brake fluid goes?"
