    Depends on the size of each song file.  If you use 128 kbps encoding, more songs will fit compared to songs encoded at 256 kbps (with higher quality sound).  If you have songs that are longer (at the same kbps encoding), their song files are typically larger compared to songs that are shorter.  If my iPod had all classical music, it would have fewer "songs" compared to the same iPod with short pop tunes.

     

    My 8GB iPod nano has about 900 songs on it when full.  So, in my specific situation, I would get about 1800 songs on a 16GB iPod.
