Re: Using DVD's for data storage, and other questions
Yeah, like Taz said, get an external Harddisk. They're cheaper and more reliable in the long run.

Re: File number and/or size storage limits?

I'm using this external USB drive to store mp3 files. Lots of mp3 files. So far I've kept most of them in the root directory of the drive. The question now is, it there a file number or total file size limit to storing files in the root directory or any other single directory? Right now I'm at roughly 800 files and 4 or 5 GB.
I'm not sure, but I'd divide them up into seperate directories anyway. Make one "main" directiry named Music or MP3's or something, and then in that directory make several sub directories (maybe per genre of music?). That's how I'd do it anyway. It's also easier to find a single file then when you need it.
