Will depend upon bitrate you choose.
PS Can anyone recommend a good freeware ripper? Audiograbber isn't quite up to the job now I'd like to convert at 320kb.

Exact Audio Copy is the only one worth bothering with

Thanks Al.
I'll give it a go. I've decided it's time to rip all the rarities off all the freebie cover cds I've picked up over the years.

There are lots of good forums with info on how to set it up to rip in VBR
which gives you the best balance of compression to sounds quality. Alternatively if space isn't an issue, try converting your .wav files to FLAC, an album ends up being about 3-400MB but it's a lossless format.

VBR?
This is a whole new sack of monkeys for me. Looks like I'll be doing some investigation. Donkey shoes.

Variable Bit Rate
Encoding rate varies according to the complexity of the harmonic spectrum of the music during each timeslice.

I think.
