Do you use it? Or rely on your handwriting like I do to show what´s burnt on your cdr. What other methods do you use?

No, not really, you can't use colour (yet), and the underside of the disc is always a purpley blue colour

I print mine on printable white DVDs in lovely colour and use Sprayfix to protect them from moisture smudging afterwards!

Cheers

I don't burn anything onto disc - too scared they will deteriorate.

I keep all my stuff on 4 x 1 terrabyte HDs (backed up of course).

I'd been using mine to burn labels for about the last 2 years then suddenly it quit burning any images and will only allow me to burn user created text and graphics. After many hours of trying Nero and Lightscribe support were of zero help and told me my burner's probably bad which makes no sense since I can still burn anything but images.

it's seems intresting .easy way.

To Strettonbull- Do you keep the corresponding artwork in your HD´s? I found it takes up much space quickly. Do you back up on another external HD? You seem to be a main player here. therefore I ask.

Jagger50 - I have 2 x 1 Terrabyte internal hard drives on my main machine - one is for video and the other for audio and misc items. I keep the masters on these internal drives.

For backups I have 2 x 1TB Western Digital Mybook external drives. These also enable me to watch or listen to anything on my TV because I can plug them into my TV's media player via the USB port.

I am running out of space now though so have just bought 2 more 1TB Western Digital external drives from [www.microdirect.co.uk] which were a steal at 70 GBP each.

Please feel free to ask for any more info.

Do you keep artwork, set lists etc? I´m thinking of buying an external HD to back up my over 2,000 cdr collection. I wanted to keep Azureus on my HD. But with all the artwork etc it quickly filled up my pc. RS downloads that is. How do you file your collection on your external drives? Maybe a folder per tour etc. Do you backup DVD`s? Many thanks.

I have a folder for each tour, and a different folder for outtakes, studio versions and demos etc. If you have a look at my site www.rstalk.net, you'll see the structure that I use - each page on there is a different folder.

I use a program called Expprint which prints folders and their contents to HTML files.

The artwork and the setlist file is also in the folder, if I have it.

Thankin´you kindly. I think I just bust a button on my trousers.

This is true for most discs but,Archival gold discs (handled properly) will outlast hard drives by far.
