My computer only has 11 gigs, and I'm rapidly running out of space to store my mp3s...
does anyone else face this problem?
Regards,

| Yup, burn stuff onto disc or invest in a bigger hard drive or some other means of storage. 11 gigs isn't much anymore. [bragging] On my main computer I have two internal 40 gb hard drives and a 80 gb external fire wire drive and I'm getting low on space. [/bragging] I remember when I first started getting mp3's and other things off the net. I would try and store them on 100mb zip discs. Yeah..that lasted about a day or two. |

*has 40 gig drive in this computer*
*has another 40 plus a 60 in brothers computer in next room*

So no, sorry, I don't have your "running out of space problem" hehehe
But I do remember the time when a friend got a ONE GIG hard drive! WOW that was SOOO F**KEN BIG!!
What the hell would you do to fill ONE WHOLE GIGABYTE?
(install ten copies of dune 2, thats what :P) |

hehehe, same thing happened to me TWICE! and man, i'm on 56k! the first time i bought a 20gig external hd, but that didn't last long. filled it up in 2 months. so now i bought an internal 40 gig hd to complement my other 13 gig drive, which definitely needs to be formatted to recover about 3-4 gigs in garbage and other unneccessary stuff windows has put on it in 1.5 years... and yeah, i had to remove my cd-rom to install the second hd... glad i have a cd-rw:)
as for cds, i never burned any backups, which is definitely stupid, but i will start in the future... it'd take me about 50 cds to burn my 31 gigs, and my writer is a 4x... |

i have only 10 gb on my computer and for mp3 all i have is about 4 gb
what i do is that i burn the mp3's according to the date i got them, and then i'm deleting the mp3's that i don't like or hear once in a very long time |

Hardly a thread for music discussion, moved to chill out,
Best investment in the world, a CD burner, and with such inexpensive drives on the market now, i would get one pretty soon.
i only have a 13gb hard drive but over 30,000 MP3's :)

As has been said get a cd-burner:
1) You wont run out of space on your hard drive
2) You wont post an "I lost all my mp3's thread" :P
3) You can burn to cd so you play ur music on normal cd-player and not only on ur pc |

OMG, do you know what that means:
56k6 has an effective dl-rate of about 4k/sec, so to get 1 MB you must be 1024/4 = 256 sec = 4,3 minutes online. 1 GB = 1024 MB, so 1024 x 4 minutes = 4370 minutes. That x 20 (for 20GB) = 87381 minutes. In hours that is 1456 hours, In 2 months! Each month has 672 hours, so 2 months have 1344 hours..... Something is wrong here...
