How much it will hold will depend upon the format of your music files (e.g. MP3, AAC etc) and the tracks bitrate. A lot of my music on my iPod I tend to have as MP3s at a bitrate of 128 kbps - so an album tends to be about 50 to 60 meg. At that size I get about 18 albums per gig, which would be something 250 albums on a 16 gig iPod Touch (some of the 16 gig is taken up by the operating system and built-in apps).
