Dvd Raid...

[jpyeron]

I have gotten tired of my wife ruining media, so I decided to RAID the discs in our album.

Does any one out there have any opinions about this?

Now we have a third disc for every 2 discs in our collection. My hope is next time she scratches a disc, I can rip the iso of each, note the read errors and repair.

I am doing this for my data CDs which I keep for this and that too.
