Inside the 20TB Drive

I don't even like Elvis Costello. Got them for a friend who never figured out digital media himself. First on the chopping block. If anyone has any ideas for an easy to use program that scans folders and make lists please let me know. Of course I would post the lists here and just ignore any requests.

I should also take pictures of this place. Just so you can see the kind of clutter if not squalor and havoc this hobby has wreaked on my personal living space. Still better this than joining some sports cult or playing with Star Wars toys.

    A small program called Cathy that scans drives and makes list, and helps you quickly find location of certain shows (that I have been using for the last 7 years) can be found here:
    http://rva.mtg.sk//, scroll down to the middle of the page. Many traders that I know use it. If you have tons of stuff on multiple drives, you must have a program like this (there are some other ones out there). But you should be disciplined in naming bands and shows in certain way. For example: Aerosmith 2024-01-01 Boston. If you always use the same date convention than searching is easy. If you don't stick to it you can search using * for missing or uncertain info:
    Aerosmith*Boston (lists all shows by Aerosmith in Boston), or Aerosmith*2024 (lists all Aerosmith shows from 2024. It is important that in Settings you set Hit Limit at 5,000.

    I’ve always loved Snap2HTML and a much cooler File Explorer tool called Everything. Both PC Tools.

      "Everything" is an excellent piece of software indeed.
      You can download it here: https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/
      The best version is the "Lite-Setup" one.

    Someone else mentioned it, but I'll also recommend Karen's Directory Printer.

    Command DOS
    This is one of many important command-line commands that are easy to remember and easy to perform. Here's how you can get started with it:

    1. Go to the Start menu search bar, type in 'command prompt,' and run the Command prompt as an administrator.

    2. Use the cd command to navigate to the directory you want to print. For example, to navigate to your Documents folder, you would input cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents, switching out yourusename for your own.

    3. Type dir > print.txt, then press Enter and exit the Command Prompt.

    4. In File Explorer, navigate to the same folder, and you should see a print.txt file. This is a plain text file that can be opened in Notepad (or any other text editor) and then printed.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
