MA....
You are such a butthead.

We never said we actually *use* the above program or any others like it, or that we download music of an illegal nature. Infact, I outright deny it!
I just don't want anyone poking around in my computer. Aside from 38 firewalls and a dozen routers, I also keep my whole computer encased in a steel box.
No mp3s here.

God gave us USB external hard drives for a reason.

It is a nice little piece of software.

The music companies are crazy to be going after people like this anyway. I hope they fail.

HARR!!!

Thanks DR!

Once connected- you are still vulnerable to them searching your hard drive... unless you just have a dedicated computer that is not connected to the net to store your mp3s.
What I would like to know is, could the RIAA mistake the legal mp3s you have on your hard drive for illegal ones?
I store my music digitally.. no way I am going to go back to using a CD carousel.

Congrats on your new avatar TWYT!

Hope it wasn't too painful.

Meanwhile, this Topic is rife with excellent ideas and critiques.

Q. How big a hard drive do I need to store 4000 music CDs digitally as mp3's?

What's RIAA? And should I be scared of it.

It's the recording industry... (Can't remember the exact name)


If you don't share or download mp3's online, then you don't have to...

Or if you live in a country where it would not be possible for them to sue you or anything like that...

Yes-- thank goodness for google image search!

Q. How big a hard drive do I need to store 4000 music CDs digitally as mp3's?

About 2 terrabytes, assuming the aveage CD holds 10 songs, and each song is 5 megs in size

How much does a 2-Terabyte HDD cost?

Hmmmm

Applying law of diminishing returns against price matrices for new technology:

I would be nett better off getting a 20-Terabyte HDD to store my 6000 CDs in twenty-seven months.

How much electricity does that server use?

With a USB drive, I build a small playlist, store it locally then unplug the drive. If you are trying to find a song that you know you've already paid for but lost the cd then i suggest you gather what you need, logoff and move the songs to hd. USB is very useful if you have a laptop.

As far as converting CD libraries...I usually just convert those CD's that i'm most interested in. It simply isn't feasible to rip cds at high rate and store them in mp3 if you have them on cd's.
