Indeed, I have 1. The original CDs, but truth is the whole point is to never have to touch them again, even though for my favorites I eventually wouls like a better album art cover and notes solution. One thing I miss is to refresh my memory looking at the notes, going "ah, Eric Gale did guitar on this Grover washington track, nice!" and such. 2. original rips 3. mirrored rips 4. backups True in all cases, but there are error situations in which incremantal data loss happens, and that experience scared me a lot. As stated, 2. and 3. can run out of sunch and get corrupted; and 4 can miss data you'd rather not lose. So you're left in an uncomfortable middle gound. 5. I am curious to find out about my experience with (5) - I will report. I'd rather do it now with my core collection, better safe than sorry! -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42358 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
