Whats the best, cheapest way to back up my mp3 files on itunes, in case my computer craps out?

how many do you have?

do you have a dvd burner?
you could go that route or you could buy an external hard drive.

price range if none of the above is in your possesion?

dvd burner, then get a receiver that will play the dvd mp3's for your ride
:uhuh:

the radios go for like a buck forty.

doesnt itunes put some sort of wierd protection on their downloads?

I have a DVD burner that I never use, never took the time to figure it out. What discs do you use..+ or - ?

shouldnt matter... most dvd burners these days unless its a few years old take both... most players now a days take both unless specified.

there were rumors they were going to do away with the - but havent seen that yet.

i have about 23 gigs i need to back up, thats a lot of dvd's no?

23/4.7 is about 6 maybe 7 to be safe

alot cheaper than a external hard drive but will take a few nights to do..
external hard drive push a button and go.

also if you don't have a dvd burner you will have to install one... if cracking the pc case makes you nervous then external hard drive all the way.

Dont think i have a burner, what does a 40 gig external harddrive go for?

tough to find a 40 gig these days unless you make one yourself
but 200 gig and worry free for a long time cost about 160 bucks

the one touch back ups were made specifically for..............................back ups :)

heres a 40 for 89 bucks but i wouldnt reccomend it...
have had bad luck with Wester Digital plus its a slower drive which means longer time to read write.
