Default Simple systems with a HDD

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.


It uses some form of data reduction but is a bit coy about saying which
one. On 'best' it sounds ok for my uses, though.
