I am a self professed MP3 snob.  I love music.  Almost all kinds.  I believe that somewhere in my 120 GB collection I have every genre and every style of tunes one can possibly imagine.  I love collecting music.      Recently I had a pretty dramatic hard disk failure and it put my collection in serious jeopardy.  Luckily I have triple redundant backups of ALL my important computer files, music included.      The last few...
