Loose end

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm moving to a coleheme
With the leather all around me
And the sweat is getting steamy
But their eyes are on the ground
They're just hanging around
They're just hanging around."

The Stranglers: "Hanging around"
From the album: "Rattus Norvegicus"

No, I haven't got the squits, I'm just using up (12) days holiday left over from last year (or else I lose it).

So am using the spare time to re-attack the vinyl collection, but instead of burning it to cd, I'm uploading it directly to the iPod.

As the amount of memory used on the iPod far exceeds the remaining memory on the laptop, I have to delete the iTunes library after downloading imported music, but I'm now worried that with 2/3 of the iPod's memory used, if I were to lose it (or it malfunctioned) it would take for ever to re-load the music, album artwork and lyrics, even for those albums which I own and could retrieve?

Any one have any experience of backing up to a separate hard-drive (bearing in mind how specifically iTunes works?)
