So, after recovering my old FLACs from a failed hard drive, I'm now in the process of ripping new CDs I got and re-ripping corrupted files.
I started with Amy Winehouse this morning (after setting up an old external DVD burner) and have thus far reached Chopin. I re-arranged my CD's alphabetically since no one else gets my by genre-by favorite-by sounds good matrix of arranging physical discs on a cabinet.
So I thought of starting a thread so those in the same boat can perhaps share tips on how to survive this mind-numbing task.
Here's what I've done so far:
1--Downloaded Dogs 101 and am watching every breed. Fortunately, my daughters and I actually find this interesting and fun.
2--Wikipedia the artist I am ripping. Having started with Amy Winehouse, there was a lot of news to keep me busy.
3--Read up on quick preparation & cooking recipes. My Ma Po Tofu was a resounding success!
