You can install Windows XP first, making sure you don't use the entire drive when you partition. So, when you install Windows, make 1 40 GB partition for the OS, and 1 40 GB partition for your MP3s. Leave the other 40 GB unallocated. Then install Linux to that free partition. It should detect the Windows installation and automatically create a bootloader, or you can do it yourself afterwards manually.

Make sure you format the MP3 partition as FAT32 if you want to be able to read and write to it in Linux.
