Re: 7 years of music....gone

Mine is on external, laptop and cut to disc just in case and I have a friend who has done the same with most of the same music I listen to so fingers crossed I'm safe for now.

Greg and Garry so sorry to hear I would be gutted - hope you can restore most

Re: 7 years of music....gone

i have some gems on cd's and is always good when ipod crashes and i find them, then i got an external hard drive, but my mac made it its bitch and the hard drive wont work with any other computer, so destiny is still in hands of my laptop...

i say to people that lost there stuff that its okay, consider it a filtering process, now u will have and acquire again the best of the best and what truly stuck in memory and needed, and im sure many here wont mind re-upping anything u need if we have it

MS still have the archive I think. Haven't looked for a few days. But I have them all and a couple more I'm quite happy to burn Dvds and send them to you. I have quite a bit of Danny as well.

You should be able to use as an external with other computers?? I have three different drives that have been in other computers and I am using them as externals. One I took out of an old g4. It's in a usb case. works fine.

I think I might start burning the collections to DVD though and storing very very carefully.

Btw You are right about reevaluating and only having the best , worked that way for me.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

Back up your back ups. That's what I've learnt over the years.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

dvds only stand for -/+ 5 years. Be careful with that. You burn them down, and in a couple of yeras when you want to read some data from them, they won´t work properly. CDs have even a shorter life, once burnt.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

Greg, was it the legacy white iPod? I had one that did the exact same thing, transferred some tunes to it, disconnected it, sat in the car heading out of town, the thing is blank. It was a horrid feeling. I have the last gen 160 gb ipod but I have started making a habit of keeping a full backup of the ipod on an external now (just in case). To make the backup more useful, I bought a cheap pair of logitechs with a bitchin sub and started listening to music more when I'm working in my study, so it motivates me even more to take regular backups so I can listen to the newest tunes I've put on my iPod.

Honestly, don't try to put your music back on this ipod, it'll do it twice (it's done it to me). And if you will get a new digital media player, move away from Hard Drive based ones. The flash drive based iPod Touch 5 is scheduled for announcement on Sept 12, alongwith the new iPhone. It'll be a worthy update and should be a lot more secure with your data.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

Sorry to hear that Greg - i think we've all lost music at one stage or another

Heres a question: I also have a tonne of music on my ipod classic - i have an external HD for time machine on my mbp

How do i backup the music on my ipod to the external HD?

[Kamal]

Re: 7 years of music....gone

I briefly owned an MBP, if your music is saved on the HD of your MBP, time machine will automatically backup everything to the external.

Really ??? fuck ....

I have all my music recorded onto I dont know how many dvds.
and cds, never had a problem with that. but now you mention it.
I think it is more safe than the softwares or some internal memory
or the own mac or pc. at least, to keep files for long.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

CD's have lasted 10+ years for me... I've heard others say to Clint in the past when he tried to give away 100's of cd's that they weren't any good, but even since then my blank cd's that I've burned work fine. I keep them in a dark place, maybe that helps?

Pretty soon all of our files will be stored digitally online, on a sugarsync type database, the storage space will be free and all of our systems will connect to it. If we don't already.

Very good advice... cause really, there are Tons of mixes that I download and only listen to a few of them at the most... so to that effect I have tried filtering as I go to kind of help with that, and it cuts down on what I have on my Time Capsule... which is already 149 GB music alone.

I agree Florida, I still have burnt CD's from early 2000-2002 which continue to be read and I can still extract music from them. Just like you said, I keep all of my music CD's/DVD's in caselogic CD cases, so they are never pressured or in sunlight in any way.

Until I can invest in something a little more permanent--also since Broadband Internet (at least in the States) still hasnt reached the upload speed that could warrant me changing to online backups. Finally, who is to say that Dropbox or Google Drive will still be around in 10+ years.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

Guys, really appreciate all the heartfelt messages, kudos to you all.

Kamal - think it's the 5th gen video iPod I have. It's the one that was heavily endorsed by U2 when it came out (they were in the advert). I always knew it would screw up one day, like all technology inevitably does.

As people have said, it does mean when I come to DL all the music again from various sources, I will only DL those extra special tracks and sets. The annoying part is that I frequently will cut out a track from a DJ set and put it in a separate playlist (sometimes I dont want to listen to the whole set or its the only great track in the set). Now I have to do that all again, and I'll never remember what I had and what I didnt have!

Lesson learned I suppose. Thank god I have been saving to a HD for the past 12 months at least; I should still have a good amount of stuff on there that I can transfer to any new iPod that I purchase.

Re: 7 years of music....gone

I have loads and loads of mixes and stuff, terabytes, if you can tell me (more or less) what you've lost, I'll send you an HD full of replacement files. Don't be shy!
