XP can handle FAT32 drives fine. Lots of other systems can handle FAT32.
Not so much with NTFS.

XP (and W2K) won't format a drive over 30Gig to FAT32. Moreover, they
waste an hour of your time pretending to work before telling you (in a
very obscure way) that they failed. Partition Magic doesn't have the
misguided 30G boundary (which is a marketing, not a technical,
boundary) and so can make large drives FAT32 just fine.

I suppose, for general purpose storage, there might be a reason to go
to NTFS for large file systems. But for music files of 1MB+ each, I
don't think they apply.
