Hi. Asda have a rather natty Goodmans machine with an 80GB hard drive, dvd burner and can read all formats of disc including CDs - all for £130! You could even use it as your CD player. Not seen a better price for an acceptable machine, hope this helps. Regards, Steve.

Depends on how many songs you want them to hold. I have seen ones that hold about 12-60 songs for about $50. Then they have ones (like th eone I have) that holds 10,000 songs and it was $250. If you only want a few songs then go to Wal-Mart and put one on layaway.

Take my word, purchase Maxtor One Touch 2. Its a 300Gb hard disk worth around $250. Its can handle loads upto of network file server. It has 7200 RPM disk speed with 16Mb Cache. Its the cheapest, and best in performance. I am a music video collector and have divided it into 6 partitions of 50 Gb Each. I purchased it to connect to my laptop. It is also pretty stable, has a long life. It can handle heavy server loads too. Before buying, I did a one month research on various factors. Just one word of precaution, don't buy Maxtor One Touch (250Gb), this is one Touch 2. In case you need to back up your files, you just need to press a button on the hard disk, and it back ups automatically.\n\nThe only one better than it is Sony 400 Gb hard disk, but its price is almost double and not that great enhancement in performance.\n\nAn interesting info, it is better than most laptop internal hard drives themselves.

immediately eh? YES SIR!\n\nas the poster above says, you can't get 1gb cds, they're smaller than that.\n\ndvds commonly hold 4.7gb, cds commonly hold 700mb - there are no 1gb cds or dvds.

western digital offers a one touch back up solution which should probably fit your needs. its an external hard drive which works as soon as as you press a button or you can do it automatically. it normally goes on sale at best buy. i got one for $60 with 160gb

short answer will be use a flash device. It requires no power, has no moving parts and as long as you have access to a USB port, it will be available.\n\nSecond option will be a HD, if kept stored in a safe environment, you wont have to worry about the information, giving you more space than the flash drive.\n\nThose are the expensive choices.\n\nThe way i do it is using incremental backups, i started with a cd holding pictures and documents, that i keep on my hard drive. Every time i increase  significantly my documents, i make another backup.\n\nI dont dispose of all the old backups so i have at least three disks (cd or dvd) with my documents, and the hd where i keep the files.

A floppy disk only stores 1.44MB of information, a typical MP3 music file is about 1MB for every minute of song - unless it's a really short song you're not going to get it on a floppy disk.\n\nIf you don't have a CD writer then you could try copying to an external hard drive, linking the two computers together, e-mailing your files and opening the e-mails on your friends computer.

No form of electronic media will protect you completely from erasure or loss of data.\n\nThe only way to get the cds into data form that is the highest quality possible would be to extract to a lossless format, which tend to be very large files.\n\nYou have a large collection, so here are your choices:\n\n1) You can buy an external hard drive and extract/backup all these onto it.\n2) You can buy 15 of these to store and organize the cds: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=548251&CatId=0\n3) An IPOD.  Though I don't think even the largest would hold your entire collection within it.\n\nNeither of these solves all your problems though.  With such a large collection it will be costly to backup all your data into a lossless format.  You can also invest in a redudant backup system which will double backup your data onto external hard drives.

Yeah.. external drive is the best choice but if it is rather expensive for you, you may just backup your media library to the CDs/DVDs. But you should note that the compression degree of the media files is really poor (approximately 20 percents), no matter which backup software you use, so you should purchase an external drive as big as your media library is. There are no any doubts that the best backup software is Acronis True Image because one can easily create an image of the media library and quickly restore it in case the system fails. \nYou can download the latest and the most fully features version of ATI here: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/\nOr download a free version of ATI from here:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/mag/vnu-ati7

Yes, but unless you've got tons of pics, it seems a bit of a waste. DVDs store 4.7GB of data, so a CD-R would be more suitable. Or even better, a CD-RW which can be re-written!
