This article assumes 4 minute per song and approx 240 songs for 1GB so 240 x 4 = 960 minutes or 16 hours.

Using the MP3 compression system reduces the number of bytes in a song, while retaining sound that is near CD-quality. Anytime you compress a song, you will lose some of its quality, which is a trade off for being able to carry more music files in a smaller storage system. A smaller file size also allows the song to be downloaded from the Internet faster.
Consider that an average song is about four minutes long. On a CD, that song uses about 40 megabytes (MB), but uses only 4 MB if compressed through the MP3 format. On average, 64 MB of storage space equals an hour of music. A music listener who has an MP3 player with 1 GB (approximately 1,000 MB) of storage space can carry about 240 songs or the equivalent of about 20 CDs. Songs stored on traditional CDs are already decompressed, so it takes more CDs to store the same amount of songs. Now, some CDs support MP3 files.

Depends on the bit rate of your mp3s the lower the quality the more you fit on.
