the actual number of songs will vary. On average you get about one minute of music for every megabyte you have... so one meg is 1084 megabytes or 1084 minutes of music. The average song is around 3 and a half minutes some are longer some are shorter. That would give you around 310 songs on a 1Gig card and 620 on a 2Gig card. MP3 players and IPODS say 240 songs for 1G and 500 songs for 2G. But they are using some of the memory for players software.
The nice thing is you can buy more cards or a bigger card down the road if you need it. You cant expand the memory in IPODS and in most mp3 players.
It's not a set amount. You just have to figure an average. The average mp3 is around 3 megs. So sense a 1gig card is ruffly 1000 megs you can hold about 333 songs. So a 2 gig card would hold twice that, 666 songs or so. Of course if this is for a mobile phone, then any pictures or anything else you have saved to the memory card will decrease how many songs you can hold.

Depending on how long the songs are, I would say you can fit between 250 and 300 songs per gig.
