Saving My Music Collection

Okay, so I've got hundreds if not close to a thousand music CDs, but I haven't purchased one in over a decade. I'm willing to part with them once I've saved them to another storage medium. My question is what is the best? An external hard drive? I could just "cloud" them all, but I have a feeling that could cost me some money as well, depending on the amount of space I'll need. I have another collection of MP3, iTunes, WMA and M4a, which is close to 8GB, on my PC hard drive as well. If my PC craps the bed, I'm afraid I've lost all that.

I simply want to consolidate and have it all available in one place I can rely on not to crash and burn. Help?

Keep all of them in at least two different physical places, whether that be two identical external drives, a local PC drive and an external drive, a local PC drive and an iPod, etc. Whatever is most convenient for you.  I can't tell you exactly how much space you need because 1000 CDs is a monstrous amount of CDs and it depends what bitrate you want to encode them with; I'm sort of an audiophile so I don't rip anything under 192 kbps, but if it doesn't matter to you that much you can just encode them in 128 and save a lot more space than say if you were to do it in 320 or 256.

 

as for your other collection of music on your computer, 8GB is really manageable and if you can find the location of those different files you can easily fit them on a thumb drive even.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
