burn the mp3s to a few cds. You can fit a few hundred on each cd i think.

Yes, this will sound very dumb but...

How do you burn a lot of mp3's to one cd? My program just adds up the 80 min length max and wont let me go past it - so I only burn about 15-20 songs.....

theres multiple ways to do it. To do it using DirectCD just format your cd as a direct cd and drag all your mp3's onto it just like a floppy disk.

Or you can use Roxio or any other burning program and start a new project. Make a DATA cd. Then just put all the mp3 files on as data. Click the burn button.

no, dont go with USB2. It's real-world transfer speeds for the most part top out around 250-300.

Get firewire 800 if you have a mac. now that is fucking fast.

if you have a mac just connect the two computers with a firewire then reboot your mac while pressing t. the drive will pop up on the other computer and you can transfer several gigabytes is just a few minutes. way faster than burning to cd or setting up a network
