That depends. If you'll notice, whenever an MP3 player claims to hold XXX songs, there is an asterisk leading to a footnote that specifies a particular song length AND SAMPLING RATE. For instance, I have a particular trance track I like that occupies over 66 MB for 26:35 while an entire 71:37 CD codes down to 55.9 MB. Why? That trance track was recorded at 320 Kbps while the CD was ripped at 160Kbps. I resampled it down to about half that size but it lost enough fidelity to annoy me; some parts of it require an abnormally high sampling rate to avoid sounding like crap. Now, if one song was over 66 MB, then a 1 GB MP3 player would only hold 15 songs! Of course, a more normal song (about 3:35) at a more normal sampling rate of 128 Kbps is about 3.5 MB, allowing over 290 songs per GB.

It depend on the compression rate of the mp3 files. Files range in compression from down to 16 Kbps (usually only used for things like talking books) to 320Kbps, which is of a quality that is actually higher than a lot of CDs are recorded. The higher the quality, the fewer versions of the same song that could fit. Of course, it also depends on the lengths of the songs.
