For a 128kbps bit rate song, it is approximately 1 MB per minute. For a 256kbps bit rate song its approximately 2MB per minute. Leave a little overhead for things like album artwork, ID3 tags, and some things to do with how drives store data (block size for one), that is about 100 minutes or 500 minutes per gigabyte. iTunes DRM protected songs are encoded at 128kbps bit rate. iTunes Plus songs are encoded at 256kbps bit rate. Most songs are about 4 minutes on average. If we use that as an average we are looking at about 125-250 songs per gigabyte.

I think that depends on how long a song is or what songs you have or what other extra stuff you have. But I know it's over 200 About 45, actually. 1 GB, which is 1,000 MB, holds 250 songs. 180 MB = 180/1000 GB = 0.18 GB. So 180 MB would hold 0.18 X 250 songs, or about 45 songs.
