My laptop has become rather clogged and could do with freeing up some space, most of my memory has been taken up by a shed load of music and pictures and was wondering what the best ways to remove and store them were?

Also if i remove tracks from my computer how will that effect my itunes as i have it all imported on there for my ipod?

Thanks
Jim

Do you have a DVD writer Jim? This is a good way. Disks are about 50p each and hold normally 4.7GB each. You could also try a USB storage stick, these are very cheap now.
Can't answer the second part, sorry, I download music illegally on to a non proprietary mp3 player, so have no such hassles Wink

DVDs are good for backup storage - but if you're wanting to constantly move files to and from your laptop, then maybe an external hard drive is a good idea?

Even Aldi are selling one: http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/58_7962.htm?WT.mc_id=2008-11-24-11-59

They are cheap and piss easy mate, just plug into your comp using a USB and just drag the files from your C: Drive to the External Drive!

Done!

External Hard drive and I think you can set up the itunes software to recognise the device.

I'm trying to see how long I can look at Scottish Dave's avatar for before it drives me nuts, currently about 30 seconds.
