You know you are an emedia hoarder when

1) amazon.com sends you an email telling you that you need to delete some stuff off of your kindle because you have no more room to download anything else (that is what they get for offering so many free ebooks ) and
2) you need expresslane.apple.com to help unhide your hidden stuff on the cloud (and I will not fess up to just how many items she unhid for me, I really need to find away to make some of it go away forever to get my count down).

Fortunately I hardly buy anything on Itunes anymore (just an occaisional BBCA or PBS show) so I just need to figure out how to actually get rid of some stuff.

1. Transfer and index it to high-volume removable media?

I have too much too, so I usually grab a folder that is largely contiguous in content...sort it and burn it to DVDs, label the contents of each and delete the originals from the HDD and/or cloud. When I get ambitious, I set aside a half-day to actively sort and burn. I have one milk-crate of DVDs, excluding my own intellectual property.

When the crate gets full, I force myself to go through it and toss anything I haven't looked at, don't foresee looking at or want...that may seem extreme but a milk-crate of well-organized stacks of DVDs contains years of video if converted into .mpegs at standard resolution. Most things that see the crate will never again be seen.
