The sweet_nothing music charity thread
 

Yesterday my computer crashed and I lost EVERYTHING, my programs, pictures, documents, and more importantly my music. I was starting to build a relatively respectable collection with 15GB but now I only I have 5. So if you guys could just help me out and send at least 1 album, that would really help me out.

My list of lost music (i will update it because I can't remember everything off the top of my head):


Adolescents- Self Titled
Coldplay- X&Y
NWA- Straight Outta Compton
Mos Def- Black On Both Sides
Blur- 13
The Smiths- Strangeways Here We Come
The Smiths- The Queen is Dead
Joy Division- Substance
MF Doom- Operation: Doomsday
Sonic Youth- Dirty
Black Flag- Damaged
The Libertines- Self Titled
Pink Floyd- Meddle

Those are the ones that come to mind right now, but any help would be greatly appreciated by me.


(please send in rar. zip files)

I'll send you an up of some good music as soon as I finish downloading 1564562311318 GB of porn.

And then watch it.

Holy fcking sht, I actually laughed.

Black Flag - "Damaged"

It happens to the best of us... I have meddle somewhere, I'll be sure to up it for you when I find it.

Thanks for all the help so far, what sucks the worst was that most of that music was paid for. :(

You mean you paid for the downloads?

Or do you have hard copies?

Paid for downloads off itunes. :\

PM.

No links please people. Thankyou.

i can get you x & y i just gotta put it in a rar first

If you bought it off of iTunes, I'm pretty sure there's a way to recover it for free. Anyways, I should probably be able to get you a few of those. I just had a computer crash last week, too.

you not have anything on your ipod or alternative mp3 player?

Posted many times but here it is again: Back up your music easily and cheaply by burning files to a DVDR. Approx 40 albums to one disc. Simple and cost/time effective.

I tried this...the only real problem I had with it was that when I went to put the songs back on my computer, it insisted on making all the songs from the disc have the same album title, and it wouldn't let me change it. Hmmm...

Copy each album individually back onto your PC. Never copy the whole DVD . windows is like a little baby when it recieves too many directives-it spit's it's dummy out.

Really? How would I go about doing that?
Yeh but not that much.

I would've, but I posted that about a year and a half ago.

It wasn't original then either.

Sharp wit, son.

I've been reusing jackhammer's surprised monkey for a while now. I was actually wondering when he would call me out on it...

I'm not exactly sure. because I haven't done it myself, but I think it's either (after you've logged into your apple account), go to store -> checkfor available downloads or go to the downloads tab and it should provide you with a pop-up. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. If it says that you've already downloaded all of your purchases, contact Apple. I'm prett sure they can authorize you to redownload your music.

May I also suggest an external hard drive to back up. Also flash drives are so cheap that for things like pics etc that do not take up too much space a couple of 4 gig sticks are more than useful.

that might work
maybe i don't do it right but i had to pay for it again when i accidentaly deleted my itunes songs

Well, I used to download songs (3-4 years ago) on my old computer. When I got a new computer I just clicked the download area and it gave me all of my old songs, so I'm just sorta going off of that.

I'm definitely going to try that and keep my fingers crossed

If it doesn't work, sorry for getting your hopes up. Contact Apple if it doesn't.

Well dont make the same mistake twice.
