Where Would You Start Rebuilding A Lost Music Collection?
Original Post

I recently lost my entire music collection. Tonight I started rebuilding it with my first album purchase. Since I have a cold that kicking my ass, I wanted something that I knew well and could help me deal with the cold. I ended up picking Pink Floyd's The Wall. If you were to loose your entire music collection, what would be your first purchase?

to be honest you can NEVER go
to be honest you can NEVER go wrong with just owning the CD'S. these days they are sooooo much cheaper than buying those dollar songs and in a lot of cases buying the MP3 album. Not to mention and some people don't realize this but an MP3 is a COMPRESSED music file. So you aren't getting the full quality of the music. I started upgrading my components a lil at a time and checking up very high end equipment and the sound difference is noticeable VERY noticeable. Oh by the way yeah Amazon.com had cd's up for really cheap. Well in most cases it isn't amazon directly selling but its a seller ON amazon. But i'll get brand new CD'S for like between 3-8 bucks which is still cheaper than 12 dollars for a digital album and you'll never lose the tunes even if you do ;)

First, I'm with Lilith. I have over 3k songs on my computer and about 4-5k more on cds that just won't fit on my hard drive. I think I would start with my first ska band - Save Ferris. I have so much music that I am constantly rediscovering songs I haven't heard in awhile and I just found their 2nd cd the other day in my car. Good times...

Had that happen to me. Had an external hard drive crash....like literally fall off the computer stand and died. Was so pissed mostly because I have a very eclectic taste in music so some of the songs are literally lost forever. Had some old AMV's too that I kept around because I loved the music that are gone. CD's are a great way to go but you run out of space for them after a while. Had mine in a binder but found out the hard way that basically by doing that it halves their life span. Did the same for some DVD's.... now I gotta re-buy some of them. they have those online storage places you can upload files too that might be a good life saver if you don't mind paying a bit for it. I refuse to get an IPOD mostly because the name makes me think of Donald Sutherland with an afro....

I had the joy of doing this a number of years back. I drove to a friend's apartment, and for reasons I can no longer recall, brought my CDs with and forgot to bring them inside. A short story shorter, my car was broken into and the CD book stolen. Luckily my insurance company covered all of three CDs... which with a jacket, and a Star Wars blaster, didn't even come close to meeting the deductible. Conversations to file under "You know you are a geek when..." Officer: "Was anything else taken from your car sir?" Me: "Yeah, a jacket and a Star Wars blaster." Officer: "A What?" Me: "A Star Wars blaster. You know, like a toy gun from the movies that makes sounds?" Officer in an abrupt change of tone as if I was probably robbing banks with the thing: "And why did you have a toy gun in your car?" Me: "Uh. It was part of a Halloween costume and I never took it out." ...Anyway to answer the original question, I replaced two CDs that day. Radiohead's The Bends, and Rage Against the Machine.

Oh wow. I recently started
Oh wow. I recently started going through the hundreds of cds that I have and uploading them... I'm about an 8th of the way through and am already up to 4100 tracks. I haven't listened to some of the songs since high school...
So I have been listening to a lot of sugar hill gang and Nas and then there was the bubblegum pop. Does anyone remember Aqua? For some reason I was obsessed with Barbie Girl in high school. Ahh the memories...
It's weird to see my transition from pop to indie rock to alt rock to heavy metal and back again over the years...
I lost my entire music collection thanks to a sync gone wrong. I had changed my credit card info and I guess that erased my history cuz all of a sudden the sync erased 4k songs. My response was a gutteral wimper followed by an overly dramatic fist shaking in the air.. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". I still havent redone any songs. It broke me. Itll be awhile before I rebuild. My suggestion though is dont rebuy if youre digital. Try beemp3.com free music and no need to install anything.
