I have never owned a MP3, but I would like to purchase one. How many songs does 256 mb or 512 mb approximately hold? Plus, any additional information on larger ones with gb and how many songs they hold. Any recommendations on a brand? Thanks

Depends on sample rate but for most mp3s you can calculate about 1 mb per 1 minute of music. Apple estimates 240 songs on a 1 gig ipod, so that gives you 60 for a 256 mb, and 120 for the 512 mb.
I've primarily used Apple iPods, Sandisk and Creative Labs have good mp3 players, they also play videos.
There are more cellphones now that play mp3s, the Motorola ROKR and SLVR L7 are examples. I've read very good reviews about the LG Fusic, LG V even has stereo speakers.
The Sony PSP and some Smartphones like Palm will also play mp3s and videos. Though they don't make very cost effective mp3 players.
You can also check out Cnet.com for their reviews on mp3 and personal video players.

I just bought a SanDisk Sansa C140 and love it. Got it at Costco for $54.99. It plays MP3s, WMAs, and different picture formats.
It has 1.0 GB of memory. An average MP3 is about 4MB, so 1GB will hold roughly 250 songs, give or take a few. 256MB will hold roughly 64 songs and 512MB will hold roughly 128.
If money isn't an object go with the 30 or 60GB iPod. Those have awesome features.

Depends on how many songs you have... andthe quality of them...
A Standard MP3 (44100) Stereo 16bit file at around 3:35 would be about 3.5mb..
