There were two people that tied for guessing the number of gigs in the jar. Scott guessed 265GB and and Jordan guessed 270GB, both of them equidistance from the correct answer of 267.5GB. The number of actual songs on all the players totaled 5,767 and Scott was the closest with a guess of 55,000.

I think they both took their time to carefully analyze the jar along with many other contestants. Many guesses were within 30GB of the correct answer. There were however some space cadet guesses. The lowest being 17GB and the highest guess was 7.5TB.

Thank you all for taking the time to participate and be sure to check out the next contest here.

Congratulations Scott!

Congratulations Scott! Enjoy your new connect.

Sounds like you were close Phoenix. I guess the luck wasn't on your side. As for me... I was down at 148. Way low!

Oh wow, I guessed 280GB. I actually got 267GB (seriously i did) but I jumped it up to 280GB just to be safe. What a stupid mistake!

well at least my song count was close (7000), I knew it wasn't so many, seriously 55,000 songs, like all the players were filled to the brim?

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
