I would go for a dedicated mp3 player to be honest. using your phone will eat batteries so you will need spares to make the phone useful. You will also need to consider headsets that will fit nokia phones and this adds extra expense to. Of the 2 flip phones available, you are most likely to get a second hand 6260 as the N90 is very new. The 6260 is one of the bigger heavier phones available. Cheers Graham All modern symbian phones have these facilities so although you may not want them, they just tend to come as standard.

But to answer your question, and this is just a guide, but if you allow 1 mb per minute of audio, when ripped at 128 KB, then you won't go far wrong; therefore, an average 4 minute track will be about 4MB in size, so you might get a short album on there, but really, you'd be a lot better with a larger MMC say 512MB for example. Guess it depends which phone you go for, what size card it can take.
