Checking my files, the average album uses under 400MB in uncompressed .wav format, so that would be about 2 1/2 albums per gig.
I forgot that not everything I have on my music files RAID drive shows up in iTunes, not least the hi-rez multi-channel albums - for instance, the new Gluzman/Prokofiev album I downloaded this morning shows up as over 6GB all by itself!
Nevertheless, as I said, storage is cheap!
My iTunes database said that I had just over 2,000 albums on the drive when the usage reached 2 TB, and the vast majority of them are uncompressed AIFF's. I do have just a few Apple lossless (compressed) files, and a minuscule number of mp3's. If I just stuck to Apple lossless, I could probably get many more albums onto 2 TB, but I feel that storage is cheap these days and there's no reason not to store music in an uncompressed format, like AIFF or WAV. iTunes likes AIFF better (for obvious reasons) and I use another player (HQ Player) to play back WAV files. (Even with iTunes, I just use its database functions - playback is invariably via Audirvana, which has a nice interface with iTunes if you want to use it that way.)
