*steals shoebox*

ive got 70gigs or so. ive got them on my comp at all times, but after losing my collection twice, and rebuilding twice im smarter now!

40gigs or so is on my mp3 player, and the rest is backed up on dvd-r. thank god for dvd burners

Im thinking of getting an external hardrive. 120 gigs but the damn things are so expensive!!!!!!! $250 bucks....

First I partition my hard-drives, so that I never have any choons on my C drive.

Then I sort them by Singles or Livesets.

Then I sort them by Artist.

If I need to catalogue them, I use Winamp 2.91 to create an HTML list.

Then I burn them to CD... but now I burn them to dvd+-R

here is a tip that most people do not know!

just go out and buy an internal hard drive
Western Digital 160gi = $125

and then go and buy an external enclosure. This will allow you to use the hard drive externally, but pay internal prices. You just pop in the hard drive yourself (very easy) and then connect to the comp, using either USB or Firewire.

the enclosure run anywhere from $20-$50 depending on features.

BOOM you save $100!!!

Dude!! you are making me want to buy another HD Orko ... i don't think my comp has enough juice to run 3 HD's, i think it's at 250V

I'm around 700 gigs, all backed up on mp3 cdr, and most recently mp3 dvdr. I use a program called ADC (Advanced Disc Catalogue) to keep track of em all, similar to WhereIsIt?

Works out well because my new home theatre system reads 95% of my disks, so it's good for parties...


I keep an area on my hard drive for "greatest hits" of different genres, that i'm bound to listen to more often then not...
