@kieran Then I will not use CDs. I can only convert files based on what iTunes allows for file type conversions. As for how many files, I checked the “Get info” feature of the iTunes music folder and it shows 10,452 items. So yeah, I will not be using CD’s for sure.
@rcu & @leetaur I do have a couple of external hard drives with more than enough space. So I won’t need to transfer anything over the network and I can just move them physically from one computer to another. Would either of you know how the disk should be formatted so it is compatible between Mac and Debian Linux?
