Wow, that's dedication. I would never even think of "backing up" my
MP3s. I've got over 500 CDs in my collection and they're all ripped but
my inclination is just to throw them on a cheap IDE RAID. If something
catastrophic happens and I lose the RAID, oh well, I've got the CDs and
it didn't take me /that/ long to rip them.
