Let K be the number of songs on Kelly's music player,
L be the number of songs on Lou's music player and T be the number of songs on Tiffany's music player.

We know that,
K = 4*L
and
T = 6*L
and also
K + T + L = 682

Then,
4*L + 6*L + L = 682

11L = 682

L = 62

From here we know that

T = 6*62 = 372
K = 4*62 = 248

So Kelly has 248 songs on her music player
