Do you need RAID then with only 17gigs of music how about the following.

Buy two drives for empeg about 20 gig then download all music from empeg to desktop even CDRs then excisting drives from empeg.

Then add first 20 gig to empeg install software etc and fill with music.

Remove first 20gig add second drive and install software and all music again.

Now have both drives in empeg but only one plugged in not perfect when you add music but still a plan.


Or this could also work install the first 20 gig drive upload all music then add the second drive without removeing the first drive but this time add a character to one selected field of the id3 tags eg artist. Then upload the songs a second time. Emplode would see them as new songs due to the new id3 tag and seeing an empty 20gig drive and stick everything onto the empty drive.

If either drive dies then you still have one copy of the music on empeg. Just one would be by eg Rush and the other would be by Rush2
