Ummm...160 GB isn't 40k good quality tracks. At best, if you're using a variety of decent (not even lossless) encodings, you're looking at 20k, tops. I have just over 21k songs on this computer, and it runs up to 130 GB. Sure, if you're going to through the pathetic tripe that Apple spews out of its store onto your iPod, exclusively, then you might get 40k, but anything you rip yourself should be a much larger file size, and a much higher quality.
