save music


Question Posted Wednesday April 12 2006, 7:47 am

Hey everyone :)
Alright, so I'm getting a new computer soon..and I'm wondering where you can save music? Like on my current computer (this one) I have 3000 songs. And I would die without them! But where can I save them? Can I put all of them on a disc? Or is there som website where I can save all the songs, so when I get the new computer I can take them from that site to the new computer. Is there anything like that? Or will I have to start over and download ALL of the songs again? Cause I can't send them over msn or anything.

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Someone else may be able to answer this better than I can, but here goes.

I usually just have my old primary hard drive installed in the new computer as a backup. Then I can transfer or copy my data over at my leisure.

You can burn about 100-150 mp3s onto a single CD, so that IS an option, assuming you have a burner - although it's pretty tedious. If you have a DVD burner, you should be able to put everything on one or two disks.

I believe that you can use a USB cable to connect your old PC to your new one, and transfer your data that way. I've never tried that, though. It's definitely possible to use SOME sort of cable to connect two PCs, though.

The company that you're buying your new computer from would probably be willing to transfer the data for you, at little or no additional cost.

Uploading 3000 songs to the web is probably not going to work. It would take forever; depending on the speed of your connection, it could easily take a day or more. Upload speeds tend to be a lot slower than download speeds on cable and DSL connections.

Good luck!
