I'm looking to buy an MP3 player with that amount of storage.

it depends on what kind of MP3 player you are looking to buy, it's usually about 15000 for an ipod, (Which you can't buy anymore, you'd need an 80GB which are £259. Think they hold about 18000 songs!
More for a sony or creative, but I don't think that they do a 60GB

Depends on the quality for an average of 4 MB (3 minutes at 192Kbps more or less) per song it would be:
60GB=60*1024=61440MB
61440/4=15360 songs

It does kind of depend on the songs your're putting in the Mp3 player...Most songs out there are at 128kbit quality..but some mp3 songs are higher than that..sometimes they are 192kbit,..sometimes 320kbit.....it's best that you download songs at 128kbit...the quality is good and it wont use up so much space on your player...i guess on 128kbit you can get like a minute per megabyte so that's a lot of space

the lower the bit rate, the less space it will take up but the quality will also be lower. a 128kbps file will be twice the size of the same file in 64kbps. ipods base the number of songs they can hold on all your songs being around 4 mins at 128kbps. the ipods do go down to 64kbps so the song capacity doubles (to 30 000) but the quality decreases. they also go up to 256kbps so it would store 7500 songs. it depends on the quality of song you settle with.

Well apparantly 15000 but to be honest that is based on songs being of an average size...This means its likely to hold less as lots of songs are well over around 3mb (the 'average size') especially if you want them to be of a good quality.

1 mp3 song = 5mb(approx)
60 gb= 60 *10 power 6 / 5= 12000000 songs

it's reletive to the size of the song...
I have a 256Mb mp3 player that has 170 songs on it...sooo... depending on the size, i'd say about 12K at a quality averageing 192k/s

At an average of four minutes per song and a bitrate of 128KBPS, it'll hold roughly 15000 songs.
