Your TOOL should work for YOU! If you have to change the way you do things to accomodate your tool, or suffer major limitations imposed by your tool, then you need a different tool!

Erm, I'm pretty sure I wrote that my CDs are in my iPhone, and my MP3s are not. So nothing is committed to any company's proprietary systems. |

But, how do you get to the digital copy of your CD's if you want to copy them or play them on something OTHER than your iPhone? Why wouldn't you just rip your CD's to MP3's and put them with the rest of your library? ALL my MP3's are from my CD's (I don't download music). Why would you want to keep/manage your music in two separate repositories in any case?

Yes, if I wanted my CDs on a non-iOS device, or away from iTunes, I would need to rip them to MP3 again. But I really can't see the need.
The MP3s are downloads. All are on disc and also HDD. It's some of these that I transferred to the i8 HDD. |

Why are folks trying to use hard drives?
Why not get a 256GB MicroSD Card (with USDB Adapter) or a 256GB USB Thumb drive and just leave it in your USB port. You don't have to TRANSFER anything or be concerned with the available space on the internal hard drive... This also makes it much easier to update your music collection. Just pull the thumb drive from your car, take it to your PC, and update the files using a real keyboard and monitor (no need to fumble around with iDrive)... Rip your music in generic MP3 files (NOT iTunes with DRM) and then just copy them wherever you want them. Its very easy to find MicroSD Cards and Thumb Drives in 64, 128, and 256 GB capacities and they are very small, cheap, and efficient! You can find 256 GB mico SD cards for as low as $20 (but I would recommend higher quality): https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-256GB...+sd+card+256gb Micro SD Card USB Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Rocketek-Alum...sd+usb+adapter 256 Thumb Drive (will also plug into your phone): https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra...GB+thumb+drive

The "NEED" is: Once you rip your music to iTunes you can't do much else with it. You "owe you soul to the company store". For example, try exporting a song from iTunes to MP3 format...

There is little benefit to burning MP3 Files to a CD when you can simply copy them to a thumb drive instead. In any case, there is no CD/DVD in the i8...
