I don't know shit about this so I'm asking if theres a site that I can temporarily store music files while transferring them from one hard drive to another? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just burn them on CDs, or maybe use a USB memory stick. It all depends on what you have available to use.

That's the nature of the beast though. I've got more than 5 gigs of mp3s on my computer and god-knows how many mpegs or other video files on my PC. I need to back it up sometime because of an adware rampage on my PC last year. I can deal with it, but it needs to be done sometime. Don't get me wrong, it'll suck, but I don't know of any other easier way, other than hosting a website.

That's like 3 or 4 CDs. Burning would be much easier than up- and downloading all that. Even if you found a free server.

I agree. Sadly there's no quick-fix for Morey's situation.

well thanks. It does seem that there is a way to do it using an ethernet cord though, so we'll see if that works.

Why cant' you just plug both hard drives into the same computer, then copy from one drive to the other? That is certainly the easiest and fastest way.

That would work well. Assuming he's not using a laptop or has some other circumstance that I can't think of at the moment.

And yet another Chicagoan is on this thing. Wow. Smile

Everyone should work hard to keep their computers clean of adware and virus if they have alot of music. I should know, because I probably have the most in this here cult. I have well over 70gigs of tunage. The easist way to transfer it is to burn it to a data cd, and then if you have a mp3 cd player you have a bunch of cds you can listen to with it.

I hear that. But, what if the quantity consists of nothing but quality songs? Is that possible? A paradox, perhaps?????

I have some crap on there and some filler, but most of it is quality. If I really don't like a song I erase them.

even though you used the ethernet cord you could of also used [url]www.yousendit.com[/url] it is a temp hosting website, allows for 1 gig of hosting at a time. So you could of zipped your mp3's then emailed yourself the link the downloaded them again. Lather rinse repeat.

Last I checked I was at about 90GB, and those are mostly WMAs (which tend to be smaller in size than mp3). The majority of that is stuff I own too.

Does anyone know a site where I can upload one mp3 and then get a url link so I can just post it here for alla y'all to download? I have something I dug up from the vault.

Fastuploads doesn't take the mp3 even though it's less than 3mb. And sendit doesn't make it a url. I don't wanna send it, just host it for a short while. Thanks anyways gozer.

sendit does make an url. I sends the url to an email.It hosts it on its own servers, but just for a week.

and just to prove you more wrong and be hated I managed to upload Elenor Rigby by the beatles. For some reason they changed their file size limit, now its 2 mb.

How do you store yours?

I got a 200G harddrive and it's full. I'm burning all of my movies onto cd's to free up space for more crap. I'm thinking about picking up a 320G and adding it to my 120G and 80G
50% of my crap is WMA (192), too. I assume your using WMP, how many hours of music is your 90G?
