i stash all of my recordings (24/48) as raw masters on an external H.D. (Terra) -- Staples on sale for $120.00!

If it is the typical book style external hard drive with a plastic enclosure and a USB/Firewire connection, I would advise switching to something else. These drives just don't have the shock resistance and there is no fan. They have a notoriously high failure rate and especially when you are talking about high density like 1 TB.

I had a couple of these drives die on me.

I advise checking out NewEgg. You can buy an external enclosure with a fan and better mounting, and then load your own. I am now using a 2 bay cooled enclosure with 2 Western Digital 1 TB Black Caviar drives in it.

speaking of TY media, I have some "bulk CDs" that are not labeled, and I cant remember if those are TY or not... does anyone know of an app that reads the media to see who made it? I know there used to be an app like that out there, but i cant find it

Can't remember which one I used. Take your pick: http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_utils_2.shtml
