Holy chromoly you guys ! like Zorg2k I spent nearly a year cleaning my Music collection.. creating logo's , custom extrafanarts, the whole nine yards. then the hard drive with ALL my data failed and "poof " just like that.. ALL Gone...1TB worth of Ripped & MP3 Tagged , bleeding all my Man hours worth of work.. gone.. it broke my heart.. Now I just have a very small collection..just 30Gb worth.. which I will very slowly whip into shape ( and backed up ).
So Moral of the story... Backup your precious data ..

This is the same thing which happened to me, I dropped my hard drive while move my HTPC into a new case and lost all my ripped music collection.

I've been ripping my collection back onto my PC mostly in FLAC where possible, and also recording my vinyl collection all over again.

The day I was moving my music hard drive was the day I was going to back it up so like yourself, many many hours lost....

All backed up in raid 5 now on new 5TB hard drives for all my Kodi media now. and a secondary HDD for Music collection, so double backed up LOL
