Maybe you just happened to "rip" yourself off. As far as memory size goes,
that is?
Let's say an album contain a total of 72 minutes of music and the songs are
ripped at 128kb. That makes the necessary storage needed be something like
99,8 MB.

I suggest you check out the collected amount of storage space the two CD's
uses and the bitrate you used when ripping them and from there you calculate
the rest and perhaps consider using a lower bitrate. A bitrate at 96kb is
still good enough for listening purposes, like, from a mp3 player etc.
