No, I think you've summarized it well.
If you don't already have a backup of your music then getting
another drive is always a good idea. I've been saved _more than
once_ by my backups.
You can get the ext driver now for XP quite easily:

Read the FAQ, etc.
Using ext2/3 will save you a lot of subtle grief.
