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.

      2026 Charlotte FC Thread

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
