[Please be patient while I figure out how to upload an image from my hard drive - at the moment it looks like I have to post an images somewhere else on the internet then link to it: that's more work than I'm willing to do for a post.
PS If head-fi has a help area, I'm having a hard time finding it. The search function only returns posts.
PPS When did this change? In the past it was easy to upload images. I no longer care. It should just work.
PPPS Well, this is amusing/frustrating: this FAQ https://www.head-fi.org/articles/faq.6724/ mentions tutorials on how to upload images (bullet point 7), but there are no links to said tutorials, and the only link is to "advanced search" tutorial, which goes to a blank page.
PPPS Here's the link to the functioning FAQ on uploading images https://www.head-fi.org/articles/image-and-video-tutorial.6733/ . It's from 2010 and the instructions don't work. When I click on the image icon I just get a popup asking for the URL to the image, not a dialog box to upload one.
So if anyone can tell me how to directly upload an image to this forum, I will do so. I am not willing to jump through hoops to post an image somewhere else on the web just so I can link to it, however.
I was going to ask for an email to send a bug report to, but I realized I still don't care. It should just work.
Cheers???]
Only part of my collection.
I have ripped most of these at least three times - once as mp3 and twice as ALAC, thanks to the Great Hard Drive Crash Of 2014. (Yes, I’ve learned (I hope) about redundant backups...
..
If I had just ripped them then sold them I would be in the position of having to rebuy them or search them out on streaming services - and some of these are too obscure to make it to that status.
Also, I have not been able to reproduce the
frisson of perusing the stacks and magically coming across something I forgot about that was wonderful. Digital interfaces haven’t reproduced that for me.
And yes, there are 45s, cassettes and even an 8-track in there...
