Additional Memory

 

The new memory hub arrived earlier this week, the 8TB drive is with Samsung for repairs, hopefully it will be back next week or two, I have downloaded over 200,000 tracks from the original drives, two drives was blank, the tacks were over 3 drives.

I have got out one of the boxes of CD's and started loading them on to the PC, a number are on the PC I used to save everything at 192kbps now I save them at 320kbps, the reason I saved them at 192kbps was a long gone site called 'Grumpy's Golden Oldies' often there would be requests, towards the end it became a general request site with people requesting tracks people that had the track would provide it, on Sunday at the Hook Road Boot Sale I found a Procol Harum single, I went to the PC to upload some of the records and there on Grumpy's wants list was the Procol Harum record I had just brought, I started the' Lord Of The Boot Sale' blog shortly before the demise of 'Grumpy's Golden Oldies'. When I stated the blog I was after a title like 'Worlds Worst Records' but that title was already taken, the person running it had a much better collection of that type of record than I did, for a couple of years he had a radio show once a week on WFMU, I think the shows are still in the archive, The Worlds Worst Records Blog was taken down a couple of months ago, I am not sure if it was voluntary or forced there had been no new posts for sometime, the names of closed blogs are released for reuse after 7 years.

To download the CD's I am using an old Samsung free standing CD/DVD drive dating back to the times when PC's only had a CD drive, later they would add a second separate DVD drive and later the drives would be combined.
