Correct or not no. 68: many or too many?

Dear All,

Is the following sentence correct from a native-speaker's point of view?

I don't know many Chinese songs but I like this one.

For some reason the word many feels like there's a need for another word in front of it... such as too...

I don't know too many Chinese songs but I like this one.

I'd appreciate your opinions.

Thanks

Cheers

Both sentences are fine. I would tend towards putting a comma after "songs", but tastes may vary.

Thank you GPY. Would you say there's any difference between them?

There is no significant difference in meaning. The second feels a bit more informal.
