doesnt that just mean your hard drive is full? so unless you have another hard drive in your comp to save music to you are out of luck… unless of course you by an external hard drive…

just out of curiosity, how much music do you have saved to your comp?

Am I right to assume that you ran out of space on your primary partition (your c: drive) before you started saving your music on your d: drive?

Am I also correct to assume that the only other drives listed on your computer are your cd/dvd drive and possibly a card slot or two?

If I am, you’re basically out of luck. You’ve filled up all the space you’ve got and there’s no more to be had (for free) without disabling your backup routines and clearing out your ‘recovery’ partition.

If you don’t mind spending money, you can buy additional hard drives (external and/or internal depending on your particular circumstance) at most electronics retailers and all over the internet.

Get an external USB drive and put the music you don’t listen to constantly on that. Only keep the music on your fixed hard drive that you listen to very very frequently. That way you always have space to discover new music. Archive the other stuff you kind of like to some other external drive (or back it up to CD/DVD). Delete the stuff you downloaded or ripped that you don’t really like anymore.
