What would happen to my songs in iTunes library if my Mac somehow got broken?

I have 900 songs in my iTunes library and I'm wondering what would happen to the songs if my computer got crushed somehow.



Would iCloud or Time Capsule be the solutions?

You should always back up your hard drive to something. That could be an external HD (like Time Capsule), an on-line storage web site or Apple's iCloud. Amazon offers a cloud service too.



For songs that you purchased from iTunes, you can now re-download them from iCloud for free. For the music you acquired elsewhere or ripped from CD's, you can pay extra to upload it to iCloud.



If your Mac was broken there's a chance that the hard drive survived. In that case you could put it into an external enclosure and copy all the songs (and other files) to your new computer.What would happen to my songs in iTunes library if my Mac somehow got broken?
If you bought all of your songs from Apple, you don't need to do anything. You can re-download your songs that you bought in iTunes right from the latest iTunes.



That being said, you probably have other kinds of files that you would hate to lose.



If you have a Time Capsule or an external hard drive, then Time Machine is a good way to back up everything on your Mac.



If you don't then services like backblaze.com or mozy.com are a good way to back-up your Mac over the Internet.What would happen to my songs in iTunes library if my Mac somehow got broken?
Your iTunes has a username and a password so you could access that anywhere.
