Dumbass
So the other night I am going thru my files playing delete this, delete that and I happen to come across a folder of music that I think is just copies of what I already have. I delete the folder.
I have just deleted all 4,500 plus songs in my iTunes library.
It cost me $99.95 for a Data Rescue disk, $120.00 for an external 80GB hard drive, and hours of pain trying to get it all back to normal.
I'm not done yet, but almost.

You might want to think about something like an IPod or some other digital music player also. Big advantage there is, if you get a big enough one, is that it's ANOTHER place to have all your music/data backed up on. Granted, they're muy, muy expensive so your best bang for the buck option there was the external harddrive. Me, I just have another HD installed in my machine and I keep any data I want 'safe' backed up on both.
All that said, you have my condolances. Data recovery is a bitch.
I have a 4GB mini ipod. And now with the back up hard drive, I am good to go.
Thankfully most of what I lost was my OWN CDs that I did have backed up, so today I will be copying them back onto the computer and then saving the whole lot of em onto the back up drive.
FUN!
Not being a Mac person I don't know if you can do this on there, but on Windows you can set reoccuring tasks, like copying a whole bunch of files from one place to another. I just have it set up to copy everything from my music directory to the other harddrive. Might want to think about something like that.
this is why technology in general is not for me.
I just shipped off 600+ discs to a friend of mine who will get another 500+ soon who is ripping them and giving me a brand new external harddrive including his already huge collection in exchange and it's not costing me a damn thing....awww yeah.
