I've just noticed how many albums I have on my external hard drive... and if that thing blows I'll be distraught to murderous degrees, so I wanna protect my music. Anyone know the most reliable way to do that? Preferably nothing ridiculously expensive though... and don't say burn 'em to disc
listen to them so much that they burn into your brain, then throw away the garbage Seriously though, go get a TB drive and you'll be fine. External works best so you can store them away safely.
Burn 'em to a floppy. jk, jk (do they even make floppies any more ). Anyways, technically, you already have a back-up on your iPod. You can easily access it with the right piece of software. But for a more pure way to back it up, a external hard drive (plug it in about once a month or so) set it to back up a certain set of folders is the best. You could always upload it to online sites, but you always risk that their servers could crash, or just go out of business. Best bet is always an external HDD.
Just checked Amazon and there are still a surprising number of sellers with floppy discs in stock. Yeah I'll just pick up another HDD then. I've already got a 500GB Western Digital, I heard they were reliable so I'll go with them again unless someone wants to prove that wrong or recommend another brand.
