My stuff is ripped as 196kbps MP3s, so it takes up a bit more room per song. About 28G for 8K songs (a couple of hundred are AACs downloaded from iTunes). No idea how many CDs that is.
I think there are cheaper ripping services. There was a review a year or two ago in the Wall Street Journal. As I recall from that review, cheaper services are fine if most of your CDs are pop stuff (since all the info can be pulled from CDDB), but the higher end places are worth it if you have a significant amount of esoteric jazz or classical, because they are more likely to get the names right.
The $1 per disc may be a good deal though: even my relatively new, pretty damn fast Mac will only burn about 8 discs an hour, assuming someone is watching it like a hawk to replace discs.
