I am considering getting an ipod or mp3 player and I want to know how much a gigabyte holds so I can decide.

I have always figured about a megabyte per minute. As some have already suggested, a song is about 4 megabytes since most songs are roughly 4 minutes.
You should be able to hold a little less than 1000 minutes of music.

To be conservative, you should figure 4 MB per song, so a gigabyte (1000 MB) would hold at least 250 songs.

1024. that's 2 to the 10th power each and every time you develop a factor. 1024 bytes = a million kilobyte 1024 kilobytes = a million megabyte 1024 megabytes = a million gigabyte. 1024 gigabytes = a million petabyte... and so on

500 songs at 4 minutes a piece.
1000 songs would be 4 gigabytes.

About 300 songs. Figure about 3 mb per song.
