Backing up MP3 files
 

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.
