Music never dies
So, my music is now back from the dead. My Apple Computer suffered total failure after I loaded a new program called Toast 8, got impatient while it was rebooting and decided I would do it later, held down the power button till it turned off.
My Mac was easily restored in all of an hour, but I lost EVERYTHING on my hard drive. I backup, but not as often as I should. Thus, I was left in a sticky situation. My Mac had my entire life on it, luckily my iPod did too. I was very leary of syncing my iPod to the Mac after it died for fear that the hateful DRM would leap into action and steal all of my songs and tv shows that I bought.
That actually wasn't the case. It restored all of the songs, tv shows, everything to my refreshed Mac.
Unfortunately, it didn't restore the songs that I didn't buy. Which... totally sucked. SO, luckily I keep all of my MP3s on my other mac... all of them, except for my own songs. I didn't want to take the postmarked version of my CD out of my safe deposit box because it is my insurance against anybody stealing my music.
I thought I was just plain screwed until this morning when a co-worker mentioned that she had finally listened to my music, and I realized that I had lent it out to somebody. She had all of my songs except for my most recent, which I had posted to my personal hard drive.
Success!
I now have my Mac back in working order, All my iTunes purchases, and all of the music I created. It's a good day in my world.
