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.

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

Last Call / Brief Intermission

Image
I am completely out of storage options unless I wanna resurrect my FileFactory account, and that would just be rude, so I am going to have to start emptying out the Mega + Google accounts, at least until I can use WeTransfer again. So get it now because once they are gone, they are not coming back. But I don't have many new transfers, Jan is always a dead month for anniversaries and I wanna finish my book which often involves stopping and playing the songs mentioned within for the full immersive experience. So when I finish the book I will empty out the Mega account and post some more shows. Probably not going to reach the level of intensity of the last year or so however which is why I am not spending / taking donations etc. Decided to pump the money into hard drive and better storage options for my physical media.  In the meantime I was been trying for a few years to get audio resynced to a Jessica Von Rabbit video and the same person filmed Mudhoney from against the stage but
