Because music CDs are rarely filled to capacity, in practice, it is likely that more than 70 will fit onto a single Bluray disc or about 83 hours of music. If CDs are converted into MP3 files, the data size can be reduced substantially. Using an MP3 data rate of 128KB, the data size is reduced by a factor of 10 so in excess of 830 hours of music can be stored on a single disc. 800 hours of music will last almost 5 weeks if played continuously and that should be enough for people even with the most varied musical tastes.
