The difference is the gigabyte using base 2 and the gigabyte using base 10.
1024 != 1000, and that adds up pretty quick...

You need to edit your title to add a disclaimer "EatChex PLEASE DON'T READ". If he happens to have a heart condition we might be losing him because of you...

So can I fit 20 GB worth of songs or just 18.5?

Depends on what definition of GB you use is!
The real answer is, that it's 18.5... all hard drive manufacturers have been pulling this same trick for years. It's a 'standard' practice now, which it total BS considering that every OS uses the base 2 definition.
