im having a hard time getting more than 100 songs per gig, is that usual?

The number of songs doesn’t matter. Companies advertise that a unit holds X number of songs by assuming that a typical  song is about 3-5 MB (or less if they’re sneaky). All that counts is the size of the files. If your songs average 10MB, then you’ll get 100 per GB.
