I just took delivery of an 08 Oulander and love it !!! The Rockford system is pretty good for a factory system. I have been recording alot of CD''s onto the hard drive and want to know if there is a way to see how much memory(of the 30 gig) has been used or is left. I tried doing a forum search but did not find an answer. Any help would be great. The forum has provided a lot of GREAT info. I am about to embark on installing a front/rear laser jamming system(using the wireless method for the front sensors) and will let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for all your help and a great forum!!!!

Although I can''t answer your question, you should know that the site is in a million pieces right now. Apostrophies are screwed up, and the search button is broken.

Sorry, we suck right now.

I think if I remember correctly, about 8 GB is available for ripping CD''s onto the harddrive. I think about 8-12 CD''s fit for me, as it uses its own format for ripping the CD''s and it may or may not be as efficient as other formats.

Definitely more than 8-12 cds... 5.4GB is total space reserved for the music server. Encoding appears to be just as efficient, if not more, than your typical mp3. 22 ripped CDs on my music server uses a total of 1.4GB, yielding an average of about 65MB per CD. That is on the high side, as two of my CDs uses 160MB and 124MB. Here''s the raw data from my hard drive:

50M     data09
39M     data0d
45M     data0e
44M     data0f
51M     data11
91M     data12
56M     data14
70M     data18
72M     data19
57M     data1b
43M     data1c
160M    data1d
97M     data22
49M     data23
124M    data26
89M     data29
38M     data2e
52M     data30
42M     data33
45M     data34
61M     data35
56M     data3b

Sorry, we haven''t yet reverse engineered the data structures to know which album is which in the above list, but it should give you a good idea.

Based on the data from brian360 it looks like somewhere around 90 CD''s should fit. Thanks for the info, you would think there would be an easy way for the user to check total usage or atleast a % of space used. Thanks again...

hmm.. I guess something is up with mine, because it says it is full after about 8-12.

Are you guys ripping store bought CD''s, burned CD''s as mp3 files, or anything else? I need to find out how to get more tracks onto my harddrive!!

how much 8gb can hold in terms of music is a toss up. if you have cds that have anywhere from 5- 10 mins of music per song, you will not get much on 8 gb. now if you had cds that have like 3 min per songs, the number of cds will go up......

Pop out the crappy 30gb hard drive. Spend the money and throw a 120gb drive in. I did this with mine recently and will be posting detailed directions on the cloning process. The unlock details can already be found on the forums.

Awesome. I think you''re the first one to report that a replacement & upgraded hard drive worked. I assume you simply resized the music-server''s partition to fill up the new disk?
