I was laughing yesterday when I started talking about upkeep and housekeeping around here because lord knows I need to do the same thing on my computer. Since a reinstall of a number of things and a complete wipe by a friend a few years ago, my old Gateway desktop has not only a 40gig drive that it came with, but a 150gig drive that he put in for me as a “data drive.” So all of my music sits on a 150gig drive with my documents, raw waves, movies, etc. All of that fun stuff. The truth, though, is that I’ve been running out of space. See, I don’t have a DVD burner, just an old CD burner on my computer. Add to that the fact that I have 15,698 songs on my computer, and most of them are in multiple formats from when I converted from WinAmp to iTunes and iTunes then converted over my collection. So I’ve got 2-3 versions of the same song on my computer.
I have two weeks at the end of July that I think I might need to go through and find all of these extra files and get rid of them. Why? Well, I had 44megs free on that drive last night. I deleted some old backup wav files from music that I had recorded and already mixed down, but I was only able to clean up about 8gigs worth of space.
So come those two weeks in July? I think its time that I get a DVD burner and burn off some of the movies I have, then clean up these duplicates, and maybe get a bigger external drive to backup stuff onto. And probably delete some of the music that I have that I don’t need. I mean, who really does need to have Milli Vanilli on their computer? My point exactly…
