You must remember that your 80gb drive needs to be formatted before it's ready for storing data. From personal experience the formatting data in itself could take up to 5 percent or more of disk space. >How many megs would a CD take up? That depends on the length of the CD. the average length of a pop or rock CD is usually around the 60 minutes mark but that could vary hugely with live recordings. The approximate conversion ratio is 1 mb per minute. >John >Jim >_______________________________________________ >PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... >http://www.pc-audio.org > >To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >_______________________________________________ >PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... >http://www.pc-audio.org > >To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
