Saving My Music Collection

Okay, so I've got hundreds if not close to a thousand music CDs, but I haven't purchased one in over a decade. I'm willing to part with them once I've saved them to another storage medium. My question is what is the best? An external hard drive? I could just "cloud" them all, but I have a feeling that could cost me some money as well, depending on the amount of space I'll need. I have another collection of MP3, iTunes, WMA and M4a, which is close to 8GB, on my PC hard drive as well. If my PC craps the bed, I'm afraid I've lost all that.

I simply want to consolidate and have it all available in one place I can rely on not to crash and burn. Help?

Keep all of them in at least two different physical places, whether that be two identical external drives, a local PC drive and an external drive, a local PC drive and an iPod, etc. Whatever is most convenient for you.  I can't tell you exactly how much space you need because 1000 CDs is a monstrous amount of CDs and it depends what bitrate you want to encode them with; I'm sort of an audiophile so I don't rip anything under 192 kbps, but if it doesn't matter to you that much you can just encode them in 128 and save a lot more space than say if you were to do it in 320 or 256.

 

as for your other collection of music on your computer, 8GB is really manageable and if you can find the location of those different files you can easily fit them on a thumb drive even.

      I think people are harsh on him over the weightlifting a little bit but at the same time I don’t see any evidence that he has done anything.  I would think he should have been working on strengthening his base after watching how easy he goes down with any kind of contact. Like with a couple of fingers even.

      I see the issues with Tyreek, which is why I put an asterisk on him and all the way on the bottom. I don't even see him playing at all this entire year since he hasn't even been seen working out at all. But I do not think he's as hard to play with as Stefon Diggs is IMO and Tyreek is more of a game changer. But either way, it's pie in the sky.  Always loved Keenan and he is from the Carolinas so that's really the only thing that may interest him playing here if no one is giving him any calls to play.

      It's not that I'm not rooting for him to do well, but I'd be lying if I said him having a good season wouldn't scare me after what we've seen out of him so far. I'd be afraid of it just being one of those situations you see all the time, a player is in a make it or break it season, they somehow raise their level of play to new levels, and then proceed to immediately drop back off a cliff the next season (although this does usually happen in contract years, not a player trying to not get cut). Now, if you tell me that no matter how well he plays, we're then going to flip him for a draft pick in the offseason, then yea, I'd want him to go off for a monster season so we can get a better return.
