backing up cds

[jahern]

Microstudio now allows you to import files as Bin. These are not compressed files, but from there, there are several programs (even free) that will create compressed files out of Bin files. Other programs (some even free) will be able to play these files on the computer. I am currently backing up my cds and putting these files on to data dvd's. I estimate that 360 cds will be backed-up onto about 6 DVDs. Unlike Hoster, you will be able to take the compressed files, recreate bin files, and burn Karaoke cds.

Of course, downloading these compressed files is probably not legal. However, I think that what I have described is OK.
