Memory
The amount of memory that an MP3 player has directly correlates to how many songs the MP3 player can hold, and this is usually the most important factor (along with price) for those considering the purchase of an MP3 player. There are two distinct ways that MP3 players configure memory- with a hard disk or with flash memory. The MP3 players with the greatest amount of memory have actual small disks that spin inside the player, similar to a computer's hard drive. These hard disk MP3 players can store anywhere from 1.5G to 20G and getting higher all the time. This means that the larger MP3 players can hold literally thousands of songs.

Use the following Rule of Thumb:
1 MB == 1 min of play (at 128 kbps)
Typical song length = 4 min
Number of songs 128 MB can hold,
128/4 = 32 songs
So,
128 MB == 32 songs
256 MB == 64 songs
512 MB == 128 songs
1 GB == 256 songs
5 GB == 1280 songs
10 GB == 2560 songs
20 GB == 5120 songs
30 GB == 7680 songs
Note: You can double everything if you use a lower rate, say 64 kbps instead of 128 kbps but the sound quality of the songs will be lowered.
Further,
You can also think in terms of CDs (say 1 CD is 10 songs)
128 MB == 3 CDs
256 MB == 6 CDs
512 MB == 12 CDs
1 GB == 25 CDs
5 GB == 128 CDs
10 GB == 256 CDs
20 GB == 512 CDs
30 GB == 768 CDs
Check this against the number of CDs you have and then get the size that most suit your need. Enjoy!

Well, it depends on several things. One is the file size, the larger the file size the more space it uses and the fewer songs you can put on the mp3 player. Another thing is the size of the mp3 player, the larger memmory size the more songs you fit on it. (I have a 512 mb mp3 player and its maxxed out at 120 songs [but its rated to hold 240])
Most mp3 songs are 128 bitrate (sound quality), in terms of file size, each minute is about one megabyte (mb).

it depends on the length of the songs, the resolution of the mp3 format used, and the size of the player's memory
with the typical pop song and the typical mp3 format you need about 4-5 megabytes per song
so, a 512 megabyte player will hold about 100 songs
a 64 megabyte player will hold 12-15 songs

Now this all depends how many Gigs it has, my MP3 player is only a one gig, but it can hold about 124 songs, depending on how big your music files are, you could probably squeeze more,i currently have 133 on mine, but the average is 124, so how ever many gigs u have multiply that my 124 and thats how many song u could have!

Usually songs are around 4 mb in size. So if you have a 512 MB player that means the number of songs will be roughly 512/4 .

depends on how much meomry it contains.... a song = 3 to 5 mb
nd 1,000 mb = 1 gig so depending on the size of the mp3 u can do the math...

Haha, an iPod might want to be more effective. in reality they're 2 different document kinds- wma will take in a lot less reminiscence than an MP3, subsequently you may carry more effective songs even as they're WMAs. And only as a word, I used to have a Sansa, and they are quite pungent. iPods are fairly that a lot a lot less confusing to apply.

It depends on how much memory was built into it. There are some that can hold over 3000 songs.
