For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.itwinks - many of these devices come pre-loaded with various pieces of software stored in folders. They can use up valuable space on your Flash Drive. These utilities may be useful (up to you) but can be deleted if you have no need for them.
Copy everything on your stick back to your PC, then format the flash drive. Check that it you have the full 2GB (or just under once formatted) when the job is done. If you don't have the full space the flash drive is corrupt and should be returned.

I just remembered, many years ago, having a similar problem trying to copy clipart files to a 100MB Zip Disk.
If all the files were copied straight to the root of the disk you could only fit a certain number on the disk before it "maxxed out".
I bet you are having the same problem here - you will need to make folders and put your MP3's into them.
You could try doing this with just two folders at first, I bet your capacity will increase!
