How much uncompressed music in Ipod classic?


I'm thinking of buying an ipod classic with 167GB of storage. Obviously not as much as in MP3 format but would it hold 100 cd's worth of uncompressed music? I'm thinking of using it in a Peachtree I-doc.

My 30 GB iPod is full with about 997 songs mostly (99+%) in Apple Lossless format. And that's with no video content. Presumably this would translate to (160/30)*997, or 5317 songs on a new iPod with 160 GB.
I don't think I'd use uncompressed, by the way. I did a little experiment a few years ago and I couldn't hear any difference between WAV and AAC on my iPod.
Yes, I keep hearing rumors iPods will be discontinued soon and plan to get a replacement while I still can. My iPhone (3GS) doesn't seem to sound as good and the interface isn't as good.
