Hello to all,
No way could I get all my music on 7 CD's. I have 1420 songs. I am
getting about 23 on each CD. That figures out to approx. 62 CD's to
save all my music. Again, I appreciate your help, I just want to be doing
the easiest and the best way to save a copy of all my music.
Sincerely,
Cindy

Flash drives have problems from time to time, 6 or 7 CDs should hold your
music files for archival purposes.

Hi Bert,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I do not have a
notebook computer, my computer is a full size with a monitor and a hard
drive on a computer table.
I have over 4 GB of music, if I burn all of the music to CD's that
sounds like a lot of CD's to me to buy and a lot of hours to make copies
of the music. Yes I have the ability to burn CD's and have done that
lots of time.
Wouldn't it be better to put the music on a USB flash drive and save it
that way? I can buy a 4 GB and possibly a 2 GB USB flash drive which
would give me more space if I want to add more songs to my collection.
What do you think?
Thank you
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
Place the memory card into the notebook and copy all the files to a
folder on the desktop. This is actually a form of backing up. The music
files are in more than one place now.
The safest way to backup the music files is to burn them to a CD and
move them to a safe place, or two. Do you have the ability to burn CD's
with the Dell 4700 notebook? And if so is there burning software
installed?

I need some help please. I have over 1300 songs in Dell Musicmatch.
I know I need to back them up, but I have no idea how to do this.
I use a MP3 player, and I have put music on the 1 GB memory card that
is with my MP3 player. I was able to that, but I have never worked
with a USB flash drive.
Do I buy a USB flash drive and copy all my music to it as a backup?
If so....I have no idea how to do that. I have a Dell computer
Dimension 4700. There is a slot in the front to insert the flash drive.
I made the mistake of not having a DVD slot put on the computer, I have
only a CD slot as I knew I would not be watching movies on my computer,
I know..... a big mistake.
Thank you for any help. It is much appreciated.
