"If you're lucky enough to be a crew member of one of the next European Space Agency (ESA) long-term missions..."
Next ? ESA hasn't even had a first manned mission as far as I know...
Just do what I do : buy a rack, install in front of your machine (under the DVD or CD-RW or somewhere) and back up all your important data (or your entire harddrive) to a separate harddisk. Prices on smaller models (40-60 gigs) aren't all that steep, and most people I know have trouble just filling up their 'small' 20 or 30 gig drives. A spare 60 gigger rackdisk will keep you satifsied for a long time...
Alternatively you could also just buy an external fire-wire or USB harddisk, although I don't really have all that much experience with those kind of devices.
download -> burn to cd in WMP9 -> rip to MP3 from cd -> (almost) legal MP3 ??
Wouldn't this be the way to go ? If you really don't like Windows Media Player, can't you just write the files to a CD and rip them back to MP3?
