There used to be a site called Grumpy's Golden Oldies, when I first found the site there would be several downloads a week of obscure tracks, the tracks were recorded at 192kbs, and filed as Artist name the Track Tile, I adopted the format for my files, now I save the files at 320kbs, later Grumpy's Golden oldies went over to taking requests, I would check the 'wants' regularly, one Boot sale that I had brought a number of records from, included a Procol Harum record on checking the wants list that morning some one had requested the Procol Harum record I had just purchased, I started the blog not long before the demise of Grumpy's Golden Oldies, the end of Grumpy's Golden Oldies came when he said he had a trapped nerve and the site would not have any uploads for about a month, I thought the site would not return, my wife had a trapped nerve and despite many treatments she suffered with it for years, one day she was in Epsom and slipped on an escalator after the jolt the trapped nerve was released, my thoughts about Grumpy's site were unfortunately true and the site closed.
