It's after 10pm here on a Saturday night, and my music-finding post is finally done and posted! ⚡

I know we all find music in different ways, and I wanted to write a bit on it. These are my methods and tools. Comment away on your own methods and tools-- I'd love to see everyone else's process, too!

Thanks to everyone who inspired this post, including in HUGE part @buffyleigh @starshaped and @Defiance.

Also tagging @HailsandAles @bendaubney @hl @skullvalanche @wendigo @DanielTuttle @BlueGambit86 @cory and I hope that anyone else that reads it and likes it gives me a shout.

When I say I'm a "music addict", I mean I have 25+ gigs of mp3s (and FLACs) on my phone, and nearly 50 gigs on this old Windows 7 machine on my desk, and CDs both here on my desk and also in my desk's storage areas, and some in boxes in the garage, and some vinyl here on my desk too, plus stuff I've grabbed on Bandcamp, and my Bandcamp wishlist, and playlists on YouTube including one of "stuff to listen to" and.. do you see what I mean

Despite learning a lot about computers when I was a kid from the Apple Performa my family had, I've never been an Apple guy, despite owning an iMac once myself. I also really didn't like iTunes, so I never had an iPod.

Back around 2005ish when people were mostly getting iPods and before I got my beloved brown Zune (that someone later stole) I had a wild and wacky (and physically HUGE in comparison) DMC XClef mp3 player that looked like this. It had a LOT of storage space for the time, for the price, and had no software like Apple or Microsoft packaged in with their mp3 players. You didn't need it! You would just plug it up to your computer and transfer the damn files, as it *should* be. A method I use to this very day with my phones.

And I just looked it up to compare, 5th generation iPods around 2005 had about 30 or 60GB drives, these XClefs had 80 to 100GB. I had a friend joke saying I'd never fill it up - and I had to tell him I already pretty much had. 😂
