external hard drive?

[littlekjgirl]

hey,
I have a seagate 200gig external hard drive vurses 64 gig left in my computer....i have over 700 cdgs and haven't imported them onto my computer yet.. Should I import them all on to my external hard drive to give me extra room or should I put them all on my computer? Which way will it run better??
If anyone has any comments please share?? Thanks

if you have a laptop, i would put all your kma's on the external. you can rebuild your database and everything will work fine.


always make a back up of your kma's !!!

i'm not using a laptop i'm using a shuttle that way it won't get hot so it won't sound like its skipping when i play a song! Why would you have to make a back up of all your songs if you already have it on an external??

Well, things crash, and you want to re-import all 700 back in?

As for the shuttle vs laptop thing, I've been using a laptop and have had no difference between it and a desktop/shuttle... Even with heat...

well how would I make a back up of all my kma files if I already put them to the external and not on the computer harddrive? See I'm not good at this computor thing!! No problems with laptop huh?? See I tried to dj with my laptop having all my songs on an external hard drive but I didn't have usb 2.0 but when I would dj it would run for maybe for 15 min. to a half hour and then start skipping like I had a scratched cd......! (By the way) My laptop was a brand new compaq paserio 60 gig hard drive and had Pentium 3 or 4 (can't remeber) 2.8 gig processor! Well I figured if it was going to do that with just regular music it would probably do it when I run my karaoke shows!! A lot of people were telling me that laptop get realy hot and will start acting funny!! I would of bought mtu's laptop but there too much money....!! But now I have a shuttle and works great!!
