I use Windows Media Player for ripping CDs, and as a music player. It does a reasonably good job, but I'm still looking for something better. I didn't like iTunes.

I found it helpful to put my MP3 files on a separate drive on my old computer. I bought a Windows 7 computer with a 1-Terabyte hard drive, and foolishly put my music collection on my hard drive. I gout it made my machine bog down, so I partitioned the hard drive and put the music on a separate partition. That seems to work quite well.

One problem I haven't solved, is how to back up my music collection, which is constantly expanding. I'd rather not use backup utilities, which generally seem to save everything in compressed files. What I'd like is an exact copy of my MP3 partition. Is there a "synchronize" function that will add just new MP3s to my backup drive?
