>>Rocky, are magnets a hard drive's enemy? <<

Yes. Magnetic media is suseptible to data loss if a magnet comes too close. This is why hard drives typically have a lot of magnetic shielding around them. In another room of a studio I was in last month, a whole morning mixdown was lost when the assistant in that session left a DAT tape lying on one of the speakers during a lunch break. Bad news.

Staying with optical technology for data and music distribution is the surest safest way. And as for MP3, a good music distribution platform for this would be OROM. Very tiny. Very power stingy. Optical technology. And no moving parts.
