Hey Guys ,
This is an issue which has been bugging me for years now... My music collection , while not too big at 350GB or so , is very special to me as it is a carefully assembled collection of my favorite artists. I have spent a MASSIVE amount of time in getting the covers , tags right.
A lot of this music is in FLAC / WMA Lossless and about 35% in MP3 (mostly 320kbps) .
Source : Mostly from CDs and from Vinyl as well. I don't have access to the physical media now unfortunately.
I'm very very worried about HDD failures and losing my music collection. I have a bi-monthly backup scheme to an external HDD and a month or so old copy on 2 different laptops BUT i'm still not satisfied.
iTunes Match seems like a blessing in disguise ( yes i am willing to drop down to 256kbps AAC ) BUT iTunes does accept FLAC / WMA Lossless music.
I have looked into the Amazon Cloud Drive but not only is it expensive $500 for 500GB but it is not feasible to upload 350+ GB of music. This is exactly why iTunes Match appealed to me.
Now is there some solution for me or am i screwed ? Do not suggest another local backup ! I need a cloud solution.
