@PoRican Read the first few paragraphs and immediately felt so seen. Definitely bookmarking and finishing later — this is right up my alley!

@juanjoarroyo23 lol it feels good to know you’re not alone

@PoRican downloading music you say?

@laurent_fintoni BREAKING: downloading is good

@PoRican really enjoyed this look in the (file) mirror!

@wayneandwax Oh man the great laptop migration…glad to see they’ve survived thanks for checking it out 🙏

@PoRican This is such a great piece! I too share ur obsession…it’s a rewarding & fulfilling one tho isn’t it?

@SirJackSplash Thanks! And most of the time, yea!

@PoRican Loved reading this. Bless P4K for providing a space for such articles. I too have a collection, a process, and system in place to preserve my digital collection. Amazing essay. TY

@jasonhunter thank you!

@PoRican this was great. happy to see some people still do it the right way lol

@mewfeuille lol thank u! I’m learning there’s more than one

@PoRican Ahhh I think you might have liked the thing we tried to build?

@Sleevenote I’d seen this! Pretty cool. I don’t need a player tho, would be cool to have the artwork functionality work with any digital playback setup

@EdJQuigley i have two! In 2022

@PoRican Thank you for this! Glad to know there are others out there. Also worth noting in the wake of the recent Ipod news that Sandisck still sells cheap mp3 players!

@HalSF thank you! appreciate that

@PoRican That was so great! Made me long for WinAmp visualizations! Def have a stack of hard drives with music I been collecting since 1996 as well! And you’re right - most of us can remember when we suddenly stopped doing it. Glad to hear many push on!
