yeah same for me. when I moved to UK from Australia I couldn't bring
my collection, so each night before I left I ripped cds to itunes on
an external drive - only got half done and none of the vinyl but it's
better than nothing, and with the new job requiring a lot of travel,
it's good to be able to take my collection with me. I bought an extra
external drive for my sister to rip to as she listens as she is now
the proud caretaker of my collection - hopefully one day I'll be sent
the extra drive with the rest of the collection. it doesn't take the
time it takes to listen to the cd to rip it, so is quite quick
really.I still have room for new music which I've been buying and can
send the originals back to sydney for safekeeping (as I move around a
lot thesedays).
