Re: Hard Drive is full - Original Music Files vs. Back-up Files
^that's right
burn the data to CDR, DVDR, removable HD, whatever, just don't rely on audio cds (the kind that you use in a normal oldschool home player).
as for archiving strategies, the main trouble with digital is that it sort of fades away. lossless files can be "tested" every few years and backed-up to another place from time to time. life expectancy of CDR/DVDR media is still a bit of a mystery, some say as little as 5yrs, for HD more like 10yrs.
if you're still uncertain, don't be shy to ask more questions
