It really depends on the compression used and the rate of compression. If you are using the highest quality, you might be talking about 256k or more a second. When I had much less space I used to compress my tracks down to like 64k so I could squeeze more on my flash.

I used to work it out about a meg a minute. Not sure what is is for wmas and the like as my inventory is almost all mp3s.

So if you have 4 gigs of space, that would be about 4000 minutes of music. If the average song is 3.5 minutes or so, that would be like 1150 tracks roughly.
