Sought it, didn't work. 32,000 songs on a hard drive is the way I am going now. Good luck with your pile of easy scratch coasters. No more burning issues for me sunshine. Easier, more convienient and cheaper. I am going to completely audio cds and I am very happy to do it. What more can I say? ( I Will tell you later ) Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

No, but do remember to come here and tell us when your hard drive fails and all 32,000 songs disappear forever. Hellraiser.......... |

Well I will have them backed up on data cds which would form a pile 3.2 meter high approx, as opposed to your 32 meter audio pile, a significant space saving. Plus you will have to back up all your audio cds anyway so I don't see the problem really. Futhermore I have found hard drives *extemely* reliable which is more than I can say for cds, which are fairly reliable - as long as you don't use them :O) The shelf life of a frequently used cd is pretty poor. Anyhow the price per gigabyte of harddrives will continue to fall, you can be sure of that, only a few years ago a 10gig drive cost £100. I could probably get *two* 120 gig drives for the price of a recordable rewriter anyway and I probably paid £80 for my CDRW. Take a look at the price trends for hard drives and solid state devices (memory) and it should be fairly clear to you that audio cds will soon become as obselete as the far more reliable vinyl they made obselete. And finally I doubt I would need 24,000 songs, I could easilly get by on 2,400 (240 albums) which I could fit on 10 gig harddrive which I could pick up for about £10. Your 240 albums in jewel cases will cost you approximately what... £120? That assumes no coaster of course........ Futhermore....it will take me a few minutes to back up that 10gig drive. You will probably need several days off work to back up your 240 cdrs. Anyhow I am convinced it is the way to go, I have a big heavy box of cdrs 1/2 of which probably don't work.I would have more but it is too much trouble burning them, and then it takes an age to find a particular file. Harddrives - cheap, quick, convienient, reliable, resistant, easy to store, easy to locate and manage tracks, trouble free. CDRs - none of the above. You stick with you trunk full of cdrs, I will stick with a couple of tidy hard drives. And oh yea, you will need to buy a forklift truck to make you music collection truely portable - lol.

Your solution to the problem is to convince yourself that you didn't really want to burn audio CDs anyway and now insist on convincing everyone else they don't want to either. We don't care. I know why I want to burn audio CDs and have no problem creating them, the same as most people here. |
