Hi Jim, Roughly speaking, 1000mb to 1gb, and the available space on your 80gb hard drive is less than 80gb. How many songs will depend on the size of the files, and I personally prefer mp3 over WMA. So you will have to do a little math to see how many songs it will take to fill that disk. Keep in mind, not a good idea to completely fill a disk, some maintenance utilities will not work if there is less than 15 percent of free space

I have an 80 gig external hard drive, which I bought solely for this purpose. Here are my questions. How many megs are in a gig, and with 80 gigs, how many CDs can I put on the hard drive. How many megs would a CD take up? Also, what are smaller or better, wma files or mp3 files?
