What would you do if you lost your music collection?

I always do backups of things that i care about. My mp3 collection is saved also on dvds and most of the music is also in my mp3 player, so excluding cataclismatic events i should not lose it:D
Hard disk are not as safe as we'd hope them to be, don't rely on them too much, they die quite often, bringing with them all out data:(... So backup are really necessary when you have something that you wish to keep no matter what.

If something happened to my music collection, I would absolutely freak. I have a lot of music on my computer, and I love most of it. To lose it would be like losing the whole computer. There would be no more background fro mylotting, as that is when I listen to a lot of my music. Of course, I could just rip songs off of CDs again, but that would be extremely time-consuming and repetitive, and I hate activities that meet those criteron.

i did loose 1gb worth of music from my memory card that i had collected from friends after the card just crashed and i never did back them up..now im backing up everything on my pc and the external hardisk..so im doing it nowadays..

i would get really hot and mad...

I have lost my music collection. I had a virus completely wreck my HD on another computer and lost about 5-600 songs. So I replaced them. It wasn't bad because most of the songs I had originally were downloaded off a dial-up modem and when I had to replace them I was on cable so it took about a third the time to replace the songs I thought I had had, plus some others.

Now I have a gigantic external hard drive where I keep all of those files, plus everything else that's important, backed up in case something happens to this computer.

I do back up my music. If I ever lost it through some series of unfortunate events, I could get most of it back from my friends and I'd rebuild the rest.

I wouldnt lose my music collection .. it is too valuable to me . .so better safe than sorry . .and I always back it up . . I also make a cd of my latest stuff so it is always at a arms length away . . .
In this day and age when "backing" things up is so easy . .why would anyone not do it???

If I lost my music collection I be up set i had lost my MP3 player with all my music on it and I was really mad about it...

it will be huge loss for me if i lost it, i have absolutely no back up of my song collection and i have kept all my songs in a different drive and most of my comp is filled up with songs and very less videos!

I would be mad, then I would start to create a new one as soon as possible. If I lost my list of music I would not be too happy about it, but I would not get overly angry about it either because that would be wasting my time, when I could start making a new list of music as soon as possible.
