Let’s see. CompUSA has a Seagate 200GB drive for $99, after rebates.

Kelly and I own in the neighborhood of, oh, say 500 compact discs. Each holds an average of 600 MB of music in CDDA format. Shorten losslessly compresses music to roughly half its original size.

500 x 600 MB = 300,000 MB / 2 = 150,000 MB * (1/1000) = 150 GB.

I could store all of our music digitally in lossless format, and still have 50 gigs left to play with. It may finally be time to build the Mother Of All Audio Servers.
