Record lists

Record lists

Does anyone keep a list of what vinyl/Cds they own in case they get robbed? I started months ago, but got bored after a dozen or so. I got burgled in my student days and lost loads of stuff. Couldn't remember half of what I had, but still haven't learnt my lesson

I have a database, also one for my DVD's, its worth it.

I know you're right but its a pain in the arse

I have a list of my mp3s in case my computer breaks and I have to re-thieve them all off the net.

I learnt the hardway twice that i should have done that! Lol..im a thief 2 :blush:

could never be arsed to do that tbh. Have to much vinyl to do it

Is that all them Eddie type tunes I herd you play @ Vuzz?

Shockin that Jill. :tut:





















How would i do that then? Is there a way of copying all the file names straight over into a Word document or whatever, all in one go?

I just done it gradually using Notepad as I download new songs..

Clicky

I have some shite like.

I knew you would have Mark Knopfler - Local Hero (acoustic)

3 doors down are actually pretty good, Kryptonites class

Be Like That is better than Kryptonite Imo.

3 Doors Down are just good in general.

open a dos prompt.

change directory to where ur mp3's are.

type the following:

dir > list.txt

it will create a text file called list.txt that has a listing of every file in that current folder

thats a cheap free way to do it anyway.

theres probs utils available to do better job (i.e list subdirs etc too...)

jus google it m8

isn't /S recursively? i.e. thru all the sub directories.... never tried it


oh - i'm a geek.

I started to write down a list of my vinyl once - then couldn't be arsed.....I really should get round to it. Incidentally - is everyone covered by house insurance, or can you get special insurance just for records? There must be some companies that do this....I ask because regular insurance companies have warehouses full of stuff like records to replace lost/stolen items - unfortunately they are often re-presses, or are on the wrong label etc......some of my stuff is very rare, and took me years to find - I don't want a shitty re-press!
I'm sure the DJs on here would agree with that.

That has got be bollix!

i should know better. got burguled when i was 18 - took all my cds, some vinyl, videos, etc. Was a nightmare trying to remember what was nicked as the insurance company wanted to replace like for like. for years afterwards i was going "ohhh damn i forgot that faith no more album" & repeat * 60 times.

infact it wasn't till a year later i found an empty Pantera tape box... couldn't find the cassette anywhere... then i realised they'd also nicked my walkman - :chill: my memory is fucked!
