@stevenray I've still got a large collection of music files on a hard drive somewhere that I downloaded to use on my Classic iPod that died only a few years ago. Thought about buying one to replace it but with #Pandora (which is the music app that I use now, there really was no need to do that. 🤷♂️
This doesn't include my large collections of CDs & LPs that I still enjoy listening to on the mostly 1980's vintage audio gear that still works well.
I feel like my music file collection is modest: 1,226 releases, 9,106 songs, 273 Gigs, would take 50+ days to play it all back to back.
Most of it's from Bandcamp, though a lot is older, from ripped CDs or buys from Apple over the years. I always download the music, protecting myself in case the music gets pulled off the service.
Most of my CDs haven't been ripped yet, though I mostly stopped buying them lotsa years ago.
Backups are another story. I have the files on two different drives, but otherwise there's no backup. I have a Time Machine drive which I haven't used in years. Bad me.
