Do you have a CD-RW drive you can use to burn the files?

I should have said I also have an external HD that I make a full backup copy twice a month [sometimes weekly], but I would like a method to backupMy Doc's more frequently... and separately on disk. That's what I am trying to do.

And what I should have said below is "should I try to copy back *the disk* to test it?

TIA...

You mean make the backup CD of the music files and then test it? I don't have a DVD R/W drive on this pc, so I can't back up My Docs until My Music is removed. How would I test it... just try to copy it back to the new location?

My biggest worry is that MusicMatch [which I use] is so *tightly* integrated with Windows, that it won't work. What music player function would test that best?

Thank you for your help, and sorry I'm not more savvy about backups. :)
