Wow scary story. I have As of current count on LMS, I have 41,103 tracks and 4,038 albums. It'd completely suck to lose them or even a 20% portion. I try to back up diligently and spread risk, but worst case scenarios can always hit. And if a global extinction event happened that renders every precaution useless, I'd guess I'd have other worries to deal with... :-P
That said, one thing I am doing is creating favorite playlists in Spotify that reflect my music history. They don't have every album in my collection, but it's very, very good stuff. And sounds pretty darn good to me too, even though I fully admit to having a somewhat snobbish audio quality standard. I know you'll tell me stuff can happen to Spotify too (takeover, tech change, music rights disputes ..), but all in all creating good playlists there that I can reuse from anywhere seems a fun thing to do and time well spent, too. Glad you recovered most of your library - and honestly if I look at mine these days, there's a significant chunk of stuff in there I'll probably never listen to again. So unless I miss it, it's probably just as well if it disappeared. :-D ...pablo Server: Win10 and LMS 8.1.0 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- KEF Reference 1 Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado RS1/Shure 1540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114889 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
