oh yeah, don't forget to Back up your data.

That is one major advantage of PC based players on a network. It is very easy
to have lots of copies spinning.
The reality is I also keep the stuff on SCSI drives that are not installed in
the systems, a holdover from before I got the network running. I still have
SCSI cables hanging out the back of my players. The drives are dirt cheap. I
use them like diskettes..
I have been burned once. Never again.
