one thing not mentioned so far: hard disc failure!
a hard disc failure in your head might lead to some failure of your

I can see where you are coming from Jason but I do buy a lot of stuff
from Beatport and Bleep mostly odd tracks from EPs and Albums where I
don't like the full thing and while it may not appeal to heads I know
