The average song is 4 minutes, with abouta 192 KHz sampling rate. This works out to ABOUT 4 MB per file. So realistically, each GB can hold 250 Songs (1GB = 1000MB).
1GB=250 Songs
2GB=500 Songs
3GB=750 Songs
4GB=1000 Songs
etc.
Now this depends on the band - if you're a fan of a band like phish and the average song is 7 minutes, then those numbers go down. If you increase the sampling rate to 256 or more, then the size of a 4 minute song could average 5 or 6 MB, which will reduce the number of songs.
This really does vary depending on how you are saving the songs.

It actually depends on how big the song file is. Example, your average song file is around 5 MB, then you will be able to store roughly around 400 songs in 2 GB.

2gb = ~400songs
3gb = ~600
4gb = ~800
The reason why nobody knows for sure is because the length of the song and the quality of it affects how much space it takes up on your mp3 player. My songs are about 5mb each, so that's what I based it on.

depends on song format
mp3, mp4, ogg, wma, cda, wav
also depends on bit rate
128, 192, 144
whether its stereo or mono
heres a base ratio for you to work with
I have 1358 files in 91 folders of mp3's, almost all are at 192bit stereo and it takes up 5.8GB of space
one file that is a song that is at 192kbps bit rate stereo at 44khz sample rate and runs 5 minutes long is 6.79 MB
Same song in .wav format takes up 49.9 MB of space
