I don’t have much in the way of digital music, about 15 gigs of EDM and another 5 of other genres, simply backed up onto a portable hard drive. I have a free drop box account, that I signed up for to pass of some tracks for a friends set. But i haven’t used them as a back up solution. When I get all my vinyl digitized and re-collected , then I may initiate other solutions. I did not know that about the reliability of portable hard drives breaking down. I have one 320 GB h.d. that I used to use as my time capsule, I’ve had it for 2+ years, with no issues. However I recently bought a 1.5 TB hard drive to replace it. My macbook is full to the brim, (160 gb) And I have about 250 gigs of movies. I have a site hosted at angelfire.com for a graphic design side business I’ve been trying to get off the ground (freesolodesign.com). I have some important pictures backed up there. I think the total space I have available is only 20 gigs there, but it’s plenty for what how the site will be set up..as a one page portfolio with an image viewer. Back on topic, sorry.. :-p. Wouldn’t one time payments of a handful of portable hard drives, say at 2 TB save more time and money in the long run?

Well, the password key is a master password used to store all of my passwords. I have a encrypted password locker on my computer and my offsite, that contains all the passwords to every account I have. I use the file on the dropbox, drop it onto a USB key then unlock my password locker with that key. It’s a nearly foolproof security because it requires both physical access to my machines as well as access to a password protected online source. Good for acts to cards and stuff.

Well there are a few ways. You can go to http://www.aim.com and create a screen name, then use the online client or download it. Or, if you have some other chat program (Skype, AIM, MSN, Yahoo) you can just share this username so chat can be done. They’re all great collaboration tools.

I’m new to all of this, but given my experience in other fields of creative art I’d suggest recording a few mixes, maybe a few recordings of you at local shows (do something for a friend’s party, or your school), and upload to Youtube. Give out fliers or post them in open areas that contain links to your videos. Other than that keep going, hold your head up high and be professional. You will be fine in no time.
