RE: Please post your experiences with music stored on a hard drive

I selected JRiver as my music player software over 9 years ago and ripped my CD collection over the next few months. It has been a joy to play music from a computer based system. The library management and user interface make browsing my collection so much better than it was with physical CDs and LPs.

I take backups of my music collection at appropriate intervals. When the hard drive I used to store music developed a few bad sectors, I bought a new drive and restored my music collection and the JRiver library files from a backup. It was routine to copy the files and my system immediately used files on the new drive.

If you don't like using a computer or have poor computer skills, stay away from computer based music playback. If you aren't willing to learn some new things, stay away.
