Norah,

I have 196 meg, the laptop came with 64 and I added 128.  If all I 
am doing is playing music, 75% of that is free so you wouldn't need 
196 meg for this particular application.

As far as disk space goes,  I'm averaging about 50 mb per album 
which would mean you could store 100 albums in 5 Gig.
