I have tons of music, my cousins and friends also have tons of music. Not to mention album art/covers, lyrics, movies/ vid clips, pictures, address books, photos I have taken of have been given. I will pour all of it into an iPod as soon as I find out how many songs an 80g holds vs. a 30g one. Price difference is only 100 dollars. I am also afraid that as soon as I get one, something else will come out and be better and cheaper because that is my luck.

The 30g holds 7500 songs and the 80g hold 15,000 songs. It depends on the length and quality of the movies that you put on. I have 8,826 songs 1300 photos, and 24 movies on my 60g. So you should have plenty of room either way.

A 80g will hold 2.66 times the 30g. Simple math.
No one can tell you how much songs, movies or photos a 30g iPod can hold. There's just too many variables to tell you.
Now you should know that when buying electronics, you buy what you can and know that something better will come around eventually. Is it in 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? Who knows. Just be happy with what you can get at this point and time.

At about 3-6 meg per audio song, you are looking at thousands, if not 10s of thousands of songs. You reduce this by having higher bitrate version of songs in MP3. Take advantage of the disc size to increase the quality of listening.
Just one gig or less ( about 700 meg) will take enough songs for 8 hours, so in theory you could have 8 x 30 hours worth of songs on the 30 GIG, and 8 x 80 on the larger 80 GIG.
It is almost guaranteed that a largert capacity drive will come out soon, and that the same unit you buy will come out cheaper... thats life. But if you want/need it now, just pay it. Then keep the unit you have for resale later in good condition, and you can upgrade easily later. Get a good "holder" for your Pod and the care of the item will/should pay off later

I'd say go for the 80Gig iPod.
For pics - file size depends on the file type and/or image resolution. They could be anything from a few bytes on up to several megabytes in size.
Similar for songs - depending on the file type, bit rate, length of song (file size).
And once again - same for movies. File type, length of the movie (file size) and other factors.
All of those weigh in for how much space is needed. Since you have such a wide variety of things that you'd like to put on an iPod, why not go the max? Like you said, it's only $100 more and you get 166% more memory.
