vital ital has a very good point. Seeing my daughter's new HP laptop's hard drive crash & burn only a few months after buying it for her was sobering. She did not back up her iTunes, and I dropped about $200 to recover her data. For sure, use archive quality DVD-Rs, like Mistsui or Taiyo Yuden. Store them in quality cases, in a climate-controlled environment (not too hot or humid). I would go further and make 2 of each, in case one fails. I would also date them, and reburn them every 5 years or so. For the low cost (both of time and money) involved, it's worth it, IMO.
