[vorbis] fitting lots of music into 10GB with Vorbis

[Martin Blackwell]

I keep my windows programs on two partitions of a sepearate 4GB HD.
I plan to have a lot more music on the 10GB drive. The stuff in the playlist
is my personal collection, and about 90% of my sisters. I've still got my
mothers collection to encode, then I have to start getting more up to date
music into the collection. So i'll end up needing around 100hours plus in
the end.

At one point, with all my umm, not-so-legal (crappy) mp3 collection & just
my cd collection oggified, i had around 80 hours just about fitting into the
10GB. the only remaining questionable mp3s i have "aqquried" is 3 really
good albums & some eva cassidy tracks (all not listed on the playlist by the
way).

I did do some maths myself a while ago, (probably mis-calculated) and
figured for just my collection, i'd need about 40GB to have some room to
spare if the cds were ripped straight into .WAV or .APE (i forget which)
altho i'm not really bothering with lossless compression till i can afford a
nice roomy HD.
