How do you backup your music?

As the title says?
This does not include selling or downloading them.
Its only for your own use.

i dont.
my cds dont tend to get thrown around the place too often

I dont either. I keep my cds in great condition by not letting anybody else use them ever. The times when I had before the cases would come back broken and it would take ages to get the cds back.
Now I keep them all on a big shelf and I keep them in their proper cases, nothing worse than having them scattered all over the place.
If you take care of them there is no need to back them up really. Although I do copy them if I plan on bringing them away some were with me so I can leave the original at home.

As soon as I buy a CD, its into the cd drive to be ripped. After that, its off to the CUPBOARD OF NO RETURN, where it can only be saved should one of my friends want to borrow it.

I tend to throw my cd's around thus i now saved them as mp3's to me hdd

I don't either but I'd love to know -what constitutes throwing them around? I have visions of Azezil playing Ninja frisbee with his CDs :eek:

MP3. Not necessarily for backup, but for my MP3 player.

Backup is a nice bonus! :cool:

I dont back up per se but I burn copies of anything I think my stickey fingered kid brother will be interested in (this is from the experience of loosing many cd's to his general carelessness)

i like to do compilation tapes for the car but thats all.

Same here, only time I've ever had a CD destroyed was when the CD player decided not to let it out! The damn thing jammed when I pressed the "Open" button! Grrrrr! Don't see the need in making "back-ups".

If I get a lend of a CD and I like it enough (but not to buy it immediately), I'll usually stick it on a tape to listen to it. I kept napster on my home PC long after the free service shot down, as a player only, but eventually, 300+ songs (I know its not that many) fùcked up my hard drive, and wrote it off.
I don't trust mp3, to be honest.

Well if I'm backing up a CD I suppose I'd use MP3 but I really don't care enough to...

If I really want to back it up I'll burn it...
