What should I get just for transferring 500 cds?

500 CD's averaging 15 tracks per CD is a total of 7500 tracks. The iPod Touch 32 gig holds approximately 7,000 songs. A 40GB MP3 player will hold approximately 10,000 songs, but they are hard drive based and aren't designed for rough usage. 40 GB hard drive players are pretty hard to find these days so she might have to sacrifice some songs. She most likely doesn't actually listen to 500 CD's on a regular basis and you can always set iTunes to auto-rotate the songs for for fresh content. An alternative to the iPod Touch is the iPod Classic which packs 160 GB (around 40.000 songs) of storage. They are but around $250. The iPod Touch is also available in 64GB for a higher cost (around $300). An alternative to those two iPods is the Zune HD which packs 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes as well. These are considerably cheaper than the iPod equivilent. They also offered a 120 GB Zune (non-HD) but the price will vary as they are no longer manufactured. Sony also makes highly-regarded MP3 players that are comparable to MS and Apple. Besides These three companies, I can't really recommend buying anything else. I've owned all different types of MP3 players from Creative, Toshiba, Samsung, Sandisk, and the MS Zune but none of them come close to the tight integration that iTunes and iPod have. Every time I hit the sync button I'm confident the iPod will have exactly the songs I want on it. With Windows Media Player or the Zune software, a lot of the time it will end up partially syncing and some songs will duplicate. Album art is also a nightmare on these. As much as I don't like Apple's business model, their software and hardware are pretty hard to beat.

i only use mine for storage james, but i'm sure you wouldn't want to carry it any where if it has over 500 cds/dvds.

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

I used a 1T that I already had; it was more than enough. The external HD depends on how much data you stored in it. 250 should be enough, in my opinion.

Depends on the file system you use, out of the box it can transfer files upto ~64GB

You can download the software from Microsoft and use the key that came with your disk. I happened to own a Sony DVDirect drive that I am using as an external drive for my MSI. If I wanted to, I could also set up another of my computers to share its drive over my network. Lastly, portable USB dvd drives are pretty cheap now and work really well with the MSI.

SD or SDHC.8Gb cards are inexpensive and should be perfectly adequate for the files that you will produce.

Yes, you should be able to. Using the Apple USB Superdrive. I transferred about 40 music and photo CDs using this excellent drive. Very fast. Good luck.

Works but my computer used 3-4 cd's. I recommend getting a 64GB Flash drive. Longer lasting, less of a headache and it will save you more time. It's worth it. Amazon has good deals. PNY, Kingston or San Disk work well for me. Right now Amazon has them for a great deal that you can't get in local stores.

Yes you would need to buy something to put the CD in, I hope that this is helpful. There are a lot of discs, but I like the program.

I was able to transfer all of my floppys to my computer using this drive. You should be able to then transfer or burn them to cd or dvd.

yes you can use it to copy/duplicate CD/CDR, its just limited on copy protected DVD

You can transfer only one song at a time. Then you can burn a CD with as many transferred songs as your CD can hold.

You should get the box, but if I were u I'd get the down load version, never lose your cd or cd key that way

Any Class 10, SDHC card will do. San Disk 32 gig Extreme HD video Class 10, 45 mb/s transfer rate is a good one.

The old hard drives will work on the new ones all you have to do is take them apart and they work fine it's what I did till I ordered my 500 it's easy to just data transfer all your stuff to new drive then license transfer it

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon
