    I want to back-up the MP3 collection I have put on my MP3 player so that I can free up my work PC (where they currently are).

    My difficulty is that I cannot find an internet cafe with a DVD burner. While CD burners are available, It would be a big job to back up my collection to CD (I'd need apx 30 CDs vs 4-5 DVDs).

    So, can anyone point me towards an Internet Cafe with DVD burner?

    Thats very kind of you Galwaydude, I work in Dublin and live about an hour east of Athlone (so, given your handle, I'd say about an hour-and-a-half from you). Next time I am passing your way, If I haven't found one by then, I'll be in touch!

    I doubt you will find an internet cafe with a dvd burner! You could post me the drive with the mp3's and i'l burn them for and post it back to you?! If you want!

    Thanks for all the offers guys, it looks like I might be getting back to ye ... Out of curiosity, why is it so difficult to find an Internet Cafe with DVD burners - just an issue of cost, eh? I thought DVD burners were practically standard issue for new PCs at this stage.

    Well I'll think of adding some DVD burners to my internet café.

    What part of Dublin are you working in? I don't have DVD Burners in my Internet Café, but I have in my video editing suites. We're out on the Northside of the city.

    I'm on the southside, Monkeyfudge, near Donnybrook. I also use public transport, city centre is easy enough, northside and indeed anywhere else in Dublin that is not between where I work and the city centre is not easy to get to (especially when you have to work within the confines of a train schedule!).

    Do let me know if you get a DVD burner in, though.
