"OK I don't buy from itunes. I prefer the CD route. the tactile pleasure of buying the CD, sticking it in your HIFI and chilling out is the way to go. "
I couldn't agree more with this statement. I've just heard rumors that physical media is going away fairly soon, so am trying to prepare myself a little bit at a time. Naturally, as long as CDs exist, I'll buy them, especially for artists I already own CDs for, but for less important stuff, I don't mind just having it digitally. Thanks for the suggestions on how to back stuff up, though. They're all extremely appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mr. L.

My own library is about 80GB in full audio quality and it's worth backing up. OK I don't buy from itunes.

I don't know if this has changed where you can use an external HD. If you are using Time Machine or some other method of backing up your Mac, though, I don't see a reason to have to go throughout the trouble of backing up your purchases. > > In regards to burning the album for your mother, just create a playlist > with that album and there should be an option to burn the playlist to disk.
