What should I get just for transferring 500 cds?

500 CD's averaging 15 tracks per CD is a total of 7500 tracks. The iPod Touch 32 gig holds approximately 7,000 songs. A 40GB MP3 player will hold approximately 10,000 songs, but they are hard drive based and aren't designed for rough usage. 40 GB hard drive players are pretty hard to find these days so she might have to sacrifice some songs. She most likely doesn't actually listen to 500 CD's on a regular basis and you can always set iTunes to auto-rotate the songs for for fresh content. An alternative to the iPod Touch is the iPod Classic which packs 160 GB (around 40.000 songs) of storage. They are but around $250. The iPod Touch is also available in 64GB for a higher cost (around $300). An alternative to those two iPods is the Zune HD which packs 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes as well. These are considerably cheaper than the iPod equivilent. They also offered a 120 GB Zune (non-HD) but the price will vary as they are no longer manufactured. Sony also makes highly-regarded MP3 players that are comparable to MS and Apple. Besides These three companies, I can't really recommend buying anything else. I've owned all different types of MP3 players from Creative, Toshiba, Samsung, Sandisk, and the MS Zune but none of them come close to the tight integration that iTunes and iPod have. Every time I hit the sync button I'm confident the iPod will have exactly the songs I want on it. With Windows Media Player or the Zune software, a lot of the time it will end up partially syncing and some songs will duplicate. Album art is also a nightmare on these. As much as I don't like Apple's business model, their software and hardware are pretty hard to beat.

Regular and MP3. You can also use USB card. I didn`t try out how it works though. I just used it for regular CD

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

I generally use TDK CD-R Music/Audio 700 MB 80 MIN for all my masters. I have used those or whatever is on sale as the copies. I run at least a dozen copies a week for a radio show I produce & have been extremely happy w/the Zipspin unit for about a year.

Works but my computer used 3-4 cd's. I recommend getting a 64GB Flash drive. Longer lasting, less of a headache and it will save you more time. It's worth it. Amazon has good deals. PNY, Kingston or San Disk work well for me. Right now Amazon has them for a great deal that you can't get in local stores.

SD or SDHC.8Gb cards are inexpensive and should be perfectly adequate for the files that you will produce.

This been formated in FAT32, so 4gb is a maximum to transfer for 1 file. But you can still change its type to NTFS then everything will be OK.

Absolutely! Since they're giveaways, you won't mind the slow USB 2.0 transfer rate; but they're still more convenient than a CDROM and your clients will much appreciate these cause they can reuse them.

I use regular CD-Rs and they work. Have not tried to rip anything to a computer.

Unless you need super fast access or archival protection for your collection I would use a mechanical HDD. The extra expense and smaller capacity of the SDD would be a limiting factor.

Depends on the file system you use, out of the box it can transfer files upto ~64GB

I'd say approximately 200-225, depending on how big your double CD's are. This gives you a little room to move things around, too. You don't want to make things TOO cramped in one of these holders. The 225 is a guess, while I'm confident that 200 is easily achievable. You'll be buying new discs, so you might want to leave some room.

No this disc if to save what you had on the computer only if you are trying to move what you have to another computer. You need your or an original disk for your computer. kevin.saunders99@live.com for questions.

You only need to use the CD if you want to use their backup software -- for straight disk storage, you can just plug it in (with Windows XP, anyway).

I don't believe that a Nano has a capacity for 500 CDs . An iPod would. I suggest you call Apple or go to Apple and find out how large so hard drive must be to accommodate that many CDs .
