Hello all! This is my first post here, so I hope I do this right...
I don't own a Mac yet, but I hope to get one soon. Actually, I need to get one soon. I dropped my 'current' (read: 'dead') laptop a few too many times, and it seems the hard drive has died on me. I was intending to buy a MacBook at some point in the future anyway, and now it seems my hand has been forced (not that I mind too much ;P) ; I'll be buying a MacBook in the next couple of months, hopefully. I've come to terms with the fact that I might have lost everything in my 'My Documents' folder and my user settings, but I have a couple of questions about my music...
I have a 120Gb external USB drive with about 10Gb of music on it (about 2200 .mp3s and .wavs). It is formatted as NTFS - will I be able to get that music onto my MacBook when I buy it? Also, will I be able to use the external USB drive with the Macbook? It's 120Gb and cost £100 so I'd like to keep it. Obviously I'd have to reformat it in whatever file system Macs use.
Finally, is there a Napster release for Macs? I've done some searches and found some articles but had no lack with actually finding a Napster program for Macs.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give on these issues.
