Depends entirly on bitrate and encoding.

Taking averages say 160kbps mp3 file of about 4:30 minutes.

(150000 * (((4*60 + 30)*160)/8/1024/1024))/1024 = 772.476 GB

{[no songs] * [time in seconds]*[bits per second] / 8 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024} gives an answer in gigabytes

so at that bitrate and encoding a 1 terabyte hdd would do.
