My turn to ask a dumb question. Does your laptop have USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 jacks? That question comes out of curiosity why you're using a PCMCIA card for USB? Not nit-picking, just having trouble visualizing your config.
Taking a slightly alternative stance on your use of external drives (although it really doesn't matter when dealing with the miniscule .mp3 file size), if the internal read/write hard drive's speed and access time is first generation processor connected through the main bus, it is far likely to have any tendency towards processor and connectivity latency delays that are typical with PCMCIA/USB/IEE1394 connectivity. Using external drives as transport, archive, and backup...absolutely. As the main, ah, my vote would have to be uh-uh. But again, .mp3 files are so small by processor standards, it ain't no biggy.
Mike, ya got a picture of your road-show digital set up from the DJ's point of view? There's a bazillion shots of fronts and trusses but rare footage from our angle.
Oh. I found the 300gb drive of all dreams...fiber optic connection, 15,000 rpm. Holy Smoker! And only $8 grand!
