3-5MB "EACH", so you could have 3 - 5 songs on a 16MB card (with absolutely nothing else on it)

Once again, you have confused the issue of the value of MP3's with the value of being able to store very large MP3 files on a handheld computer. I think the MP3 format (or something very similar to it) will eventually replace audio CD's. You can store 15 songs on a CD in audio format and 200 or so songs on a recordable CD in MP3 format. All of your favorite songs on the same CD!
