storing / managing mp3s

[jaguar]

copy the files to HD then to CD

If you're on windows you want EAC - Exact Audio Copy and the LAME encoder which I think comes with it these days. Makes the entire process one-click and the quality is perfect. On mac, heck, just use iTunes, it does an equally good job, encode to MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless and bingo.

I just back up my entire HD to an external drive every now an then, MP3s and all.
