I deleted about 40 gigs of music and movies. Try it - it feels great! |
||||||||

I love that feeling of free space. |
||||||||

I love the feeling of not having to give a shit about, archive or organize a ton of shit I'm only marginally interested in. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it feels super! |

Isn't it insane that information, which was once a rare commodity downloaded in a trickle through a dial up connection if at all, is now an annoyance? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly! I freed up around 30-40 gb. There was just no need for alot of that stuff to sit idle. |

But then after a while, crap builds up again and becomes jumbled in the depths of your C drive. |

Do you ever get the urge to be a Preserver of Culture? Like it's your responsibility as a good interweb citizen to tag and store things? |

Ideally i always wanted to document and store all genres of music. I would (for instance) pick a genre of music and try to listen to everything that could be found. It would result in 20gb of punk or jazz for instance. Everything was neat and tidy for the most part. |

Or you can always just buy another hard drive, or just dump the computer computer in the trash all together, free up some space that way in your life. |

Umm, I have to walk away from my music at my job. I'm quitting and its either save the music or pictures-well obviously music can be replaced, so i have to walk from them. Makes me feel sad, cause I spent hours getting what I wanted. But oh well, looks like im gonna ahve a lot of time on my hands w/o work so I'll start over |
||||||||

Yeah... right now I'm interested in 60s/70s Italian cinema and "library" music. Library music is prefab music sold to producers to stick into TV shows or movies. I'm building up a good pile of it but I'm trying to delete the so-so stuff right away so I don't have to comb through it later deciding what to keep. |

That sounds like a great choice. I tried to stay away from mainstream things or things that were easily found on the net/p2p/etc. Then i felt more useful to the community. I like to share and open up others about music. But now i have 0 mp3s on my computer. i dont have any plans of any either. dont know why. I guess i needed a break. |

Yeah, i like doing it, and thrrowing stuff in the bin. |

Ahh, what you're calling library music I'm used to calling production music, and I love it too. although if you're talking about 60/70's library music then you are probably getting into boards of canada territory (I'm not sure if you meant that time period strictly in reference to Italian cinema or not). I worked at a crappy radio station for a couple of summers and I ripped a bunch of their production music CDs and put it on MD. I also have some stuff I pulled off my school's network, if you're interested. I find it interesting that you like it because most people don't give it a second thought, which is a same since its really boiling down a style's crucial elements to its most primal, emotionally-evocative form. |

I totally agree. In the process of blanking the drive and installing one of those USER FRIENDLY linux packs (ubuntu). Never tried it! |

I recently set myself a deadline for watching/listening to stuff I've downloaded. Every now and then I go on a deleting spree. I free from between 1-50gigs. It's great. Unfortunately I've got a backlog of stuff right now. I am watching it but there's so much. |
||||||||

|
|
i will try it. sounds greeeeeeat! |
||||||||
|
|

I do this from time to time. I haven't really downloaded a great deal of shit for a couple of years though |

Yeah sometimes production / library music can be awesomely brilliant accidentally, because the guys making it are doing "groove style number three" in their minds and not trying to be self consciously brilliant or anything. I think it puts them in a Taoist uncarved block frame of mind and they just channel the style. Most of the stuff I've come across has a hip / lounge / groove kind of feel - I'd be interested to hear some of this BoC sounding stuff you're talking about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

oh, sorry fleet, I think I misled you. I don't have any BoC-style production music, as much as I'd like to. what I was wondering is if you had stumbled onto that type of stuff since you said you were into 60s/70's era cinema and library music. It's not easy to come by, I'm sure.. saying it has even a niche audience is an overstatement. but I know alot of horror movies etc. from that era have very minimal, BoC-esque soundtracks. Most of the library music I've collected has the more 80's/early 90's poppy, uber-Casiotone sound, which I'd be more than happy to share, I'm just not sure that's what you wanted. |

I hate deleting things. I love downloading things. |

Damn, you had my hopes up! Oh well, back to digging around... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes, tried that too and i feel REALLY great after deleting those boring mp3's labeled 'hooper bay' and 'closes vol. 1' 't doesnt amount to much, but its a start |

someone needs to come up with a 1 terrabyte optical disc.. not since the days of the very first cd-r drives have you been able to back up an entire hard disk in one shot. maybe holographics will go mainstream soon. |
