The unthinkable has just happened.
My 250 GB hard drive that contained my 100+ GB of mp3s has just died. Unrecognizable by Windows or OS X.
No backup.
Ugh.
I feel kinda bad.
I guess I have to start over.
Anyone noticed that the chord progression for Radiohead’s I Might Be Wrong is the same as Thom Yorke’s Black Swan? The words seem to be the only thing that is different.

hah, i think you posted this twice on purpose, if so, props to you and the subtle difference in tags
True, I did post it twice deliberately.
I wish the tagging system worked better. For instance, if I tagged the artist as "Thom Yorke, Radiohead" I'd like to be able to click on each artist as a separate link, instead of a bundled link.

Even if they do contain some of the same chord progressions, the melodies couldn't be any farther apart, and I still love the song Black Swan all the same. I didn't notice that though so thanks for pointing it out. It is interesting how all Thom says is that he needs to take a break from radiohead, when subconsciously it's all he can think about.

maybe some MOGgers out there will have advice...there must be a way to retrieve that shit. good luck.
thats really painful, just this morning I bought a new 360GB USB Harddisk for only 110€ because mine starts to make some strange noises. I hope you can rebuild your collection quick!
My 250K crashed a while back -- like you, no backup; luckily, i happened across the DVDs i'd burnt for my ex-wife a while ago and then didn't have her address to send them...
I have a lot less music on here, too -- like about 12 gig or so at this point, so it's okay at the moment.
{neep-neep alert!}
Windows 2000 went Blue Screen of Death on me a little more recently (i suspect that Real Player had something to do with it); the files were all there, it's just that W2K was tits up. I blew away the partition i was experimenting with Linux on and installed a new W2K there, and i still had or could get the installs for my software (benefit - some shareware i'd liked that timed out gave me another 30 days... {grin}), but booting from other than the main partition is suboptimal, so i need to get another drive - 20gig or so - to copy the boot partition to and use as my boot drive...
{end neepery}
I need to start using my backup tape drive.
And i need to get another 250gig (or bigger) drive -- i'm limping along on an 80gig right now...
(And boy howdy i never thought i'd say something like that -- back in '95, when i was doing phone support for NEC computers, we thought that the 2gig drive that shipped in the NEC top-of-the-line desktop was more fabulous than a unicorn's patoot.
(Of course, when i was working at AMI in '91, 40meg was considered huge beyond most mortals' wildest needs...)
