Yeah. Do it know. Because, apparently, to get the 52 GBs that I actually have on my iPod (at least it's more than I though) transferred to my computer with some program I found will take a grand total of...
... ... 518:34:01 That's right, 518 hours. Just over 3 weeks. Oh, and the best part? I'm a dumb **** and never backed up any of the songs I made on my keyboard/computer anywhere else. That's dozens of songs I spent hundreds of hours making. All gone. |

That sucks the big one. If I can offer any future preventative advice, it would be this: Get a large enough drive for all your music first, then get another hard drive large enough for all your music. Have them both hooked to your computer. Download the free program: SyncBack. Sync your first drive to your second, which will make an exact copy of everything from the first drive to the second. Then set up a sync profile that runs at a specific time every day, or at logon. What this will do, is every time you add or subtract or otherwise change a file that's on your originating drive, SyncBack will update the target drive with those changes. It happens in the background, silently, quickly, smoothly. What you end up with is a completely redundant and daily updated drive that will provide you with a backup if either one of your drives fail. It may seem like a lot of work, but it's not. I use it and I set up a redundant drive for all my important shit and populated it in less than 20 minutes for the initial setup. Everything else is instantaneous. It's a solution that will make it easy for you to maintain backups of your stuff. And you won't ever have to make another post like this again. Think about it. And good luck. Edit: I probably just sounded like I was wishing you farewell and bon voyage on a star trek mission or something. lol...

That's great advice, and im wondering why i have never thought to do something like this myself. With the way things are at present i would be in the same boat one day, i would lose everything.

I'm kind of getting afraid of myself. I'm used to getting obsessed with things, like The Beatles or even Pokemon ... but these last days, I'm kind of getting obsessed with people in my real life.
...and I usually hate people. I think I should isolate myself from society.
