Backing Up MP3 Files

Mp3's are already compressed. The only thing you can do is
convert them to a lower bitrate (thus lowering the quality
of the music). If you have a cd burner, simply make a data
cd (not a music cd) to back up your mp3's. You should be
able to get around 200 or so on an 80 minute cd. Cheap way
to backup, I do it all the time.
