I agree, but my external HD doesn't have the room because its full of
movies, and to back those up would take a much larger stack of DVD's
than the music collection. I think it's time to get another external
HD. It seems no matter how much storage one has, it tends to fill up.
A better question to ask myself is why do I need all this music and
video in the first place?
