Eight gigabytes is not a direct measurement for the number of songs because the size of a song can vary greatly depending on the bit rate and length of the song. Typically, a song in high-quality MP3 format takes up about 3 to 5 MB. So, you could estimate 8GB to hold between 1,600 to 2,666 songs. However, you could fit more if the songs were compressed further or if the bit rate was lower, but the sound quality would also be affected.
