From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
The other day, someone asked me how many records I have. (I didn't get into a time machine. I was talking a DJ-type person.) The answer was tricky, because it was either zero or a whole bunch.

Move Your Record Collection Online
I don't have any vinyl records, you see. What I do have is a bunch of MP3s, a stack of CDs, and a few shoeboxes of tapes.

How to Digitize Vinyl Records and Tapes
So I'm sympathetic to folks who have all of this, plus a bunch of records. It's amazing we can find any of our music at all.

How to Transfer iTunes Library to a New Computer
The answer, for some, is to organize everything online or on their computer. That way, you can find what you need, and only hang onto the physical records/discs/tapes you want.

Video: Organize Your CD and Music Collection
Still like the idea of a CD library? Here's how to make sure you can find what you're looking for.

From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
It's been about 500 years since I went to school, but every fall, I still feel like I'm headed back to class. This is good, because it helps me think of every fall as a fresh start, and also bad, because it inspires numerous anxiety dreams in which I cannot find my math class or pants.
