Do I Need An External Hard Drive?

I have a 7 year old PC which uses windows XP.

It has 38.2GB of disk space, but only just over 7GB of free space.

Most of the space, I think, has been used up by My Music as I have over 1000 songs on my PC and about half a dozen videos.

Would getting an external hard drive help free up some disk space?

(Sorry if this is a really simple question to answer and if I appear idiotic to even ask it, but I don't understand what an external hard drive is really or how they work.)

1TB 2.5inch externals are not too bad these days (1.5TB laptop drives will be available soon!)

Chuck, yes, but the original question was 'do I need an external hard drive?', apparently on the basis that his computer was filling up. I thought extra memory might be an alternative he hadn't thought of.

the typical computer is a little old, but the principle remains the same.
