I just purchased a new computer. I wanted to know, would it be wise to burn the mp3 format to a DISC as a data file, and not a mp3 audio file?? Which would be better for someone that has a large digital music collection??If you are gonna USED a CD-R to burn mp3 formats, its better if its recorded as mp3 audio FILES. You can used them to play on DVD players or on CD/DVD drives at the same time a temporary back-up. If its a DVD-+R which has bigger data capacity, then its has to be a data file for your music files.If it's truly a large collection, in my opinion the easiest methods would be to either use an imaging program to copy and restore the drive or folder with the music, to use a backup program to do the same, or to simply connect or network the two COMPUTERS and transfer the music directly. Can you recommend a imaging software to use. That sounds more interesting and easier. I could pick it up today. Quote from: tboy34 on December 08, 2010, 07:26:47 AM
