Also.. for compressing music.. mp3 or wma?

MP3 can be pretty good, but you get the best results if you don't compress
at all. As hard drive prices drop, storing .wav files gets more and more
feasible. You can get an 80 GB drive for under $100 if you look around. It
can hold at least 2,000 tracks or something like 80 CDs. That $1.25 per CD.
Depending on the physical layout of your PC, you can put 1-8 such drives
into its case.

flac http://flac.sourceforge.net/ is a very good alternative for
storing your cd collection with an average compression rate of about
0.55, no loss of quality and hw support on the way (Kenwood's Music
Keg already supports flac).
