Two good classical internet classical "stations" are theclassicalstation.org and Bartok radio. Goggle both. They are both MP-3 steams. At work,for casual listening,I use WinAmp,and for what it is;an MP-3 feed,it is OK.
My understanding is that if you load your digital music onto a hard drive,you use a Squeezebox between the hard drive and a DAC,and from the DAC,to your preamp.
A compact disk at 44.1,16 bit is just under a gig(about 800+mg),so a rough rule of thumb is that an auxiliary hard drive that is 500 g would hold a few more that five hundred cd's of music.
I'll let others get into "lossless" formats and all.
