I use iTunes as my database software and then I can share my collections across the network ... when needed, I can then copy stuff between the two. I'll typically rip the new stuff to my laptop and then copy it to my desktop ... then I can just cherrypick the songs I like on my laptop and delete the...

To me, you only need the crazy large hard drive if you're planning on keeping your entire collection on the laptop or are using a large format like FLAC. I keep a master copy of all of my music on my desktop (which gets backed up onto an external HD regularly) and a small subset of music on my lapto...

About the closest I ever saw a real jazz musician get to the 'swing revival' craze was Duke Heitger featuring Johnny and Cari (SF instructors) on the cover of one of his albums. Poor album artwork, fantastic, honest to god swing music inside. Mostly overlooked by the fad. (The album is titled Rhyth...
