Very cool Karen. We went all digital a couple years ago and never looked back. We've moved 3 or 4 times since we got together and lugging around CD's everywhere just seemed pointless. So I ripped em and sold them on. We started doing the same thing with DVD's. I don't really see a point in having a shelf full of DVD's anymore when you can have everything digital on a hard drive that looks just as good. We bought a WDTV from Western Digital that plays pretty much any video file and ripped all our favorite movies and sold the rest. Digital is the minimalist and affordable way to go. .-= jonathanwthomas´s last blog ..New York British Airways Face to Face Contest Winners Get an Awesome Send Off =-.

Ha, Kacie! Thanks for the tip! All of our music is backed up on an external hard drive, and our MOST important stuff is actually saved on BOTH of our laptop hard drives. Hopefully we’ll be okay!

Tag & Rename is the only program I’ll use to rename Mp3 files. It pulls album information from Amazon and updates your filenames and tags. Not automatic, but I manually set the Genre tag on each album for consistency.

Definitely create some sort of backup for all your music. Maybe burn them to CDs as files (you can fit a few hundred per CD). Or maybe burn them to DVD like that. Or an external hard drive. Or something. K? .-= Kacie´s last blog ..Buying a GoPhone to use with my regular plan =-.
