Been hunting round on the 'net to find a program that I can just point at a directory (e.g. Music) and it will work out how many DVDs I need to back it up and what the best way is, for example

Disc 1:

ABBA
Athlete
Blur
98% full

Disc 2:

Dodgy
Dreadzone
Goldfrapp
95% full

and so on.

If it could fully automate the process (aside from sticking each disc in) then even better. Don't really want to use a compression program e.g. Winrar or Winzip as I still want to be able to get at the data if one of the discs fails. Also most of it is compressed already (i.e. MP3/JPEG/DIVX etc.) so no need.

I found this http://hcidesign.com/dvdspan/ which sounds like it will do what I want but the download link is broken, I even emailed the site owner and just got a reply "Thanks for the heads up" Dubious about trying to purchase a license for said application in case I never get one.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

That's odd, just tried to download it with IE and it's fine, just Firefox acting weird, oh well....

Anyway keep 'em coming, CDBurnerXP looks like an interesting option especially as it's free

 

Portable Hard Drive or Two?? Backing up to DVD is a bit 90's.

 

DVDs are relatively permanent though and I only want to archive stuff, not do incremental backups etc. (would use a plug in HDD for that...).

 

Don't you have the original CD's? I have a loft full of them and now Apple keep a copy on icloud for free.

 

All downloaded from Amazon etc.

 

Also spent ages getting the ID3 tags right in them, original CDs don't have that stuff embedded

 

Another reason it pays to use Apple.
