Check all your boxes!
Those of you who have long memories and care for such minutiae may remember I stopped using my PC for ripping because it kept dropping the wireless network, and I was getting incomplete rips.
Over the last couple of years I've noticed some albums seemed to be missing from my NAS. I'd put this down to rips failing, and was facing up to having to go through all my ripped CDs looking for the missing ones.
Yesterday, the mystery was solved. One of my boxes of CDs had been stored somewhere different from the rest and had never got ripped in the first place.
What a relief! No going through 2000-odd albums, and it's like someone has given me a great birthday present of music I haven't listened to in years and some are like new - real surprises that I'd forgotten I had.
