Copy any files (loops & such) from the CDs to your hard drive before starting a new song. You can then add them to your song from your hard drive.

It depends on what you want and how much room you have on your hard drive. I've probably got 30GB of loops on one of my hard drives.

Did you simply tell ACID to find the missing media for you? If you move the associated media, that's the dialog you'll get. Once ACID finds the media again, save the project and the next time you open the project, ACID won't ask you for the location.

One other tip is to save your projects as Acid zip files, which automatically save all data with the project. These files (necessarily) take up more space on the hard drive but make life easier in the long run.

Either that, or when you save check off Copy all media with the project and the loops will be copied from the CD to your hard drive.
