There seems to be a glut of Acoustic Solutions CD 'Jukeboxes' on Ebay
at the minute - it's a CD Player with an internal HD that you can rip
CDs to. Don't think it can be used to record anything else, though.
They seem to go for well under 100 quid new.
Most of those have only a 40 Gig HDD - there is an 80 Gig version
available:

Yup - I bought an 80 gig one for 80 quid recently. It's pretty good for
that price. Not sure it would be at the RRP, though. Since it uses a
computer CD drive it's a bit noisier than an audio CD. But if you want a
fairly basic stand alone jukebox system it's ok. But it won't play MP3
CDs. Nor does it say anywhere just how many CDs it will store.
Mmmm 80gb * 1024 = 81,920Mb
If you take an 'average' CD of 600 Mb then that's just over 136 CDs
for WAV (which I'm presuming it is) files.
For £80 i'd be tempted to rip the lid of and try and cram something
HUGE in there.
