iTunes doesn't support my burner. So it seems I would have to manually backup all my MP3 files.

I currently have 10.89 GB of mp3s.

It becomes a horrible problem trying to split them into CD sized portions (it should created about 14 discs worth) Is there a utility or tool that will work for me? Is there a good way to do this with toast?

I just want to make sure everything gets backed up without overlapping files by simple drag and drop operations in the finder.

Any Suggestions?

get someone with a newer *Book with DVD-R to go to your place ... 2 DVD's and your done
well, could be 2 + a CD

I don't know what hardware you are using but what about an external hard drive, an ipod, or burning to a blank dvd?

A bit archaic, but I've been going through my 25GB collection and doing the following:

Stuff I archive for removal from my collection I leave in the directory structure with a (CD) tag to indicate that the files are available on CD/removable media.

Stuff I'm just backing up for backup's sake I add an "*" to the end of the album/artist name in the ID tag. I just drag stuff as I want to Toast's window and keep an eye on the megabyte indicator.

Thus, with a reasonably easy single glance, I know what is new, backed up, or archived.

This works particularly well in conjunction with the Andromeda script for sharing out details (but not content ;-) ) of your MP3 collection to friends.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers.

A firewire HD? Or heck, find a Beige G3 and use it as a small server running OS 10.2. Lots of HD space than, for everything!

We have a beige G3 with two 80 GIgs, one 120 GIg and a 60 Gig on it. We still need more space.

These scripts work really well. They break up playlists or selected files to fit on multiple cd's or dvd's. There's some other really cool scripts available as well.
