Edit: Thanks for all the music recommendations! I got way more than I was expecting so it will take me a while to sort through them. I'm excited to check them out. Thanks again!

I suppose yeah but it's happened to me like 10 times now, I guess I get carried away with it, and probably no one wants to hear much about that 30-40 year old music anymore anyways except for a few gems lol. That's funny some of that music is on hard drives older than 15 years, I really need to find some decent backup solution for the lot of it. I spent a lot of time seeking and curating it yikes. Oh wow I will check out that bandcamp. Yeah that's kind of my focus area if you couldn't tell like late 80's to early 2k but most mid 90s :) That's actually where I first heard his name, Bill Laswell released some sample CDs in the 90s when I was just getting into computer music.

I really need to find some decent backup solution for the lot of it.

After my share of run-ins with dead drives and disappearing YouTube videos, I just switched to keeping my ‘collection’ in my notes, with links to a service that works at the moment. And since I'm into outliner notes with some extra features, it's all categorized with a hierarchy and tags, and annotated if I have any useful info. The notes are synced between desktop machines and the phone, and I'll probably cook up some extra backups too.

This approach lived through three different operating systems, without me needing to migrate any big file collections for it.
