    I have a lot of music on iTunes, about 2500 songs. I have it all on my laptop and some of it on my iPhone. If anything were to happen to my laptop I would loose it all as I havent it saved onto anything else. What is the best thing to do do back it up. Im not big into computers and just want something handy that if my laptop breaks down I wont loose all the music. Is an external hard drive the way to go? Or is there a better way? As Ive said Im not big into computers. Is this iCloud thing used for backing up music?

    Have a look at iTunes Match.
    It might do the job for you.
    Puts all your music in the cloud (interweb) and can sync onto another computer if your laptop blows up.

    Forgot to mention - it's €25 per year

    Or copy your itunes database(should be in your my music folder) along with your my music folder to a friend or family members laptop or to a portable HDD/USB key.
    I'm guessing 2500 songs is about 12-16GB maybe?
    If so look into getting a 32GB flash drive, costs about €40 here
