One song usually takes around 260-300 Kbytes (with sounds (not samples) included).

So, 16 Megs card or user RAM can hold around 50 tracks of yours.

You can save that stuff to internal RAM or SmartMedia card then via USB hookup to your computer, copy the files to computer.

What do you mean "not able to save"?

You can save songs and samples to both user flash RAM and SM card.

One incovnenience might be is that you are limited to 128 Megs with SM, but I think it's enough for one live performance set.
