This. I love just raiding local libraries for disks, checking them all out, and archiving. Only have a few tens of gigabytes rn (I'm a newbie), and only a few gigs of "downloaded for free" music, but I'm enjoying both the media and the process. Mostly just YouTube-music scraping with ytmp3, but looking to get more serious soon.
Man, I remember crossing the 10GB threshold for my music collection back in high school. I'm at 54GB now, just music. Back then my friends and I all had iPods set to "manually managed", so we all shared what we had with each other without fear of losing anything. Then we figured out how to copy all of it off the iPod to a hard drive and sort it properly.
Fuck... I still have shit with creation dates as far back as 2003. Is this how it feels to be old??
Link rot on YouTube is insane. I have been scraping old demos in case the accounts get reported or zapped for impolitic speech.
