Musical archiving part 2...

Musical strategy- Everythin I plan cant help it, over the last few months Ive been buying collections of artists cds, quite easy to pick up collections buying the cheapest of ebay and amazon etc. For the next few weeks that is on hold. Now with a working base unit with massive storage capacity Im working out what is the best thing to do.

Musical Spotify used to make things so simple as it had entire libaries of music that was easily accesible, I think where Spotify was succesful is that it linked you to music that was beased on what you listened to and suggested new bands. However of late Spotify had goen the way of many other sites in that its now almost becoming pay as you play. The unique feature that spotify has is that it works as a player for your local files, so basically everything that is on your hard drive is automatically scanned into spotify. So at the moment Im getting my collection onto the computer, and using spotify as the libary controller if you like.

In the past soulseek was my number one musical serach tool, but I have been having numerous difficulties with connection and I notice there has been an increase in more restricted folders of music, in that people will browse your files on your computer whilist not giving access to what they have.

Anyway getting away from the point. I do feel that the musical landscape is a changin and that its not more riskier than ever to involve myself with muicla downloading(not that I did much anyway), so this web site is going to come more to the fore. providing links to stuff that is upoloaded on other sites.
I will be trawling through many discs trying to find rarities and stuff like that and providing information on links. I have ammased very big collections of certain bands and it would be nice to have them all in one place, so for instance Kraftwerk, probably have about 100-150 various albums amongst the collection.

So no more buying for now, computer local drive(through spotify) whilst trawling through discs...what have I let myself in for.
