Hi there: I'm considering transferring all my commercial audio CDs to HD storage, and wonder if there's a rule of thumb about how many CDs would fit onto a drive of X capacity. For example, if I had say 100 CDs that each included 70 minutes of music, how big would the HD need to be to accommodate all those CDs (encoded in a lossless format)? I think I would prefer not to store them as data files since I would want to be able to play them back via iTunes, but I'm not necessarily wedded to that idea.
Or, is there a more efficient way to do what I want to do without compromising the audio quality? In short, what do I need to bear in mind if I decide to transfer them all? As always, my thanks in advance!
