Backing Up to CD or DVD

The first and most obvious option is to save your MP3s to CD or DVD. This you can do from within iTunes, saving your songs as data or on an audio CD.

Naturally, this isn’t required for tracks that you added to your library from your own collection of CDs; after all, you already have a copy of these! If for some reason they’re out of reach (they might be in a box in the attic in New York and you live in Hamburg) then backing up the full selection of tracks is therefore advised – but might require a lot of discs.

This will allow you to then retrieve your tracks using a tool such as Senuti or PodManager, which will copy the MP3 files from your iPod back to your Mac should you wish to restore them to a new library.

Note that when a library is removed it is not deleted – it is simply dropped from iTunes and renamed so that a new library of tracks can be created in its place. As such the library will still exist on your computer, so don’t assume that just because the library is removed your tracks have gone.
