Digital Drive

Does anyone else transfer the same music files from your Computer to a "Playback" drive more than once!

98.221.76.71

This is telltale sign of senility when you delete files from a "Play Library" drive because you decided you really did'nt care for them & copy them back to this drive because you can't think of the reason they were'nt on the drive.

Honestly, I must have put them back because I did'nt have a replacement set
of the Sibelius symphonies (complete anyway) & I was just too lazy to piecemeal a complete set from various other recordings in my library.

As much as it pains me to delete things from my "main" library on my PC,I guess I'll start (I'll have rethink my decision of not setting up an NAS)

I'll bet non-Audiophiles don't do dopey things like this !

When I was marathon 'ripping' my CD collection dozens at a time to the computer, I would toss several aside and decide they weren't that great and didn't need to be on the computer.

I would later hear a few tunes on streaming services like Spotify that I recognized and liked. I would swear that I own that album/tune but for the life of me can't find it on the computer!

Well, some of those great CDs were tossed aside and never 'ripped' to the music server computer. They're packed away in boxes down in the basement and it's too much hassle to go find them. So.... I end up buying the CD again on Amazon and wait for it to show up in the mail!

  Ok, how's that saying go "Been there, done that" !
  
  I have no idea what possesses us to attempt "Marathon" ripping session were we ultimately
  decide this or that CD no longer makes the grade & we put the CD aside , misplace the disc,
  & then at some point in the future we buy the disc again because (like we did with our minds) we simply lost it.
  
  Thanks for affirming that I'm not the only person "afloat on this boat with a damaged rudder"
  
  Thanks again Abe
