CD Ripping to USB Thumb Drive
09/06/10 23:00
Not unusual for us to be told that the CDs for ripping have been left out for us to collect. We are after all the CD ripping service that collects. Usually our client adds I’ll be back - but not in this case, our client has gone back to Manhattan.
So we rip his CDs and we’re left with nearly 30 Gb of data to send Stateside. A while ago we were exchanging DVDs with a company in New York and I can tell you that sort of media takes ages to get through US customs. Uploading large volumes of data is fraught with issues so that’s really a non-starter. What’s the alternative?
A USB thumb drive. We’ve used them in-house to move data files but they’ve fallen out of favour because portable drives have become so cheap. I went to eBay and boy, are these units cheap. Got a high capacity USB drive for very little money and just over a week later got news that it’s arrived safely in Manhattan.
This has caused us to look again at how we interchange data with our CD ripping service clients. I see a bigger role for these humble devices.
