for making me realize what a nerd I am! <br /> <br /> I am a long time reader of this site (heck I have even shared your articles on G+). Yet, I began reading this article with a bit of bemusement.<br /> <br /> I mean really? A "working" copy? An "archival" copy. Wow, that <b>is</b> a bit over the top!<br /> <br /> Then a sinking feeling set in...I realized that while I have all my music on my server on a large RAID5 array, either played directly to my audio system or shared to other computers via DLNA UPnP, I do have them backed up to an external drive. But that is just common sense, right? It is not like that is an extreme.<br /> <br /> Then the memory of having also backed all music up to Amazon's S3 service came flooding back. Oh, and never mind the other copy of my music with volume leveling and encoded at super lossy ogg 196 (for running).<br /> <br /> So, I must know admit you guide is absolutely correct and nothing you mention is <i>extreme</i>! <br /> <br /> <small>p.s. I don't even want to get into the md5 checking I did during my original rips!</small>
