Well, on my drive, 30GB (give or take a few gigs) is
only about 7,500 songs (rip at 128VBR). That's
slightly less than a month of listening.
check out my collection from Winamp's HTML creator:

I've also ripped some vinyl as well...things that just
aren't available on CD. Once I've got all my CD's
ripped, I'll start on my vinyl...I've got a vinyl
collection 4 times bigger than my CD collection.
