Doggiehowser, thanks for your reply. It's a lot for me to digest, since I am not a computer geek. I will proceed carefully, first with a trip to the Apple store to check out external drives. I already have a 1TB drive used as back-up, using Time Machine. Maybe as an interim solution I could use the 1TB drive for music and purchase a 4TB drive as the new back-up ? Then I would have to set it up so it backs up both the iMacs internal drive and the external music drive ? Would this work as a first step? Thanks
Need computer audio advice.
All of my digital music is on my desktop iMac, a 500GB machine. I have only 70GB free space, so I think my drive is getting full. I was thinking of getting an external drive (say 1 or 2 TB) and simply moving all my music off the desktop and on to the external drive.
Is this a good solution ? Will there be any sonic problems ? Most of my music is CDs ripped and stored in lossless formats, FLAC or WAV. Some of my files are high res files 24/96 from HD Tracks. I stream over a network to a Logitech Squeezebox touch.
It this solution has problems, what would you recommend ?
Thanks, Matt
