In Reply to: Please post your experiences with music stored on a hard drive posted by bboroski on May 20, 2015 at 13:51:18:
My apologies to Seinfeld! By having my music backed up on several USB drives I have redundancy and fault tolerance. And by additionally maintaining the original discs from which this music issued, I have full copyright protection to make and keep backups.
You guys who are paying for downloads are playing a fool's game that has been constructed to benefit the big players, not you. Your download does not belong to you, you are merely renting it in perpetuity. And you are paying as much, or more!!, for this privilege as you would if you bought the physical discs.
Sooooo, I'm hedging my bets. I'm keeping all my original discs AND I have also backed them up to my own hard drives. If an original disc goes flaky on me, no problemo, I'll just stamp out another from the files I have. And if a file's sectors get corrupted on a hard drive, no problemo, I'll either re-rip the original disc or go to one of my backup drives and restore the file from there.
People who bitch about disc storage are just whiners, I have at least 3,000 - 4,000 discs contained within a few of those plastic storage boxes you can find at WalMart for $7.00 each - maybe 8 or 9 of those - and they stack nicely in the garage...
