I called the tech support number on iTunes and told them that the hard drive on my computer failed, and that I lost all my songs. The lady I talked to spent 5 minutes with me "refreshing" my account. At the end I opened iTunes, clicked on advanced-> check for purchases, and then all of the songs I had bought from iTunes re-downloaded. That didn't help for all the songs I had that I did not buy from iTunes, but apple was very easy to deal with, and allowed me to "re-own" the music I had bought from them. Now I run a back up script every week, cause it's just easier, but apple definitely lets to download your music again if you wish too.
Also, if you want something more "concrete" you can burn from apple's lossless format to a CD, and then put the CD in your rack.
What will be really interesting is how we have to save our files. with my Gmail account over 2.5 GBs right now, it would be pretty sweet if I could work on a school paper in the Linux engineering lab at school and then save (or email?) that file to my Gmail account, and access it from my Window's Computer at home.
