  1. I have a 3TB HDD drive for my music, DVD rips and torrents, and an external 1TB HDD for back ups. I only back-up my music and DVD rips, since otherwise I would need another external hard drive. I'm still emotionally scarred from Piisu's HDD failure, I don't want to experience it myself.

     

    I organize my music the same way most of the others do:

     

    Music

    >> Lycaon

    >>>> [2008.03.19] RED RUM

    >>>>>> 01 RED RUM.flac

    >>>>>> folder.jpg

     

    I tend to keep the artist folders in a format that I can easily type with my keyboard, so usually no kanas or special characters there. Otherwise all my tags are completely romaji-free, if you don't count the album artist field. It's very useful to have the romaji in the title of an album folder, since Foobar is smart enough to let me search with that romaji!


  2. Another lovely moment on Tumblr where you get your private information revealed through an IP-tracker because you accidentally visited the blog of someone who hasn't been active on there since May 2014. Girl, if you are so obsessed with who harmlessly visits your dead blog and check your tracker every single day until someone shows up only to call them out before they are even given a moment to explain themselves, you need help. Luckily IP-trackers never quite pinpoint the town wherein I actually live, but pick the next bigger city. 

     

    What... that's insane. Could you specify what kind of a blog it was?


  3. Reporting in.

    To be able to activate itunes 3 month free trial you need a credit card atteched to your profile or sum of money at your acc equal to 1 month subscription fee.

    So I couldn't activate Apple Music with my japanese itunes account.

     

    Next. Starwave bands are available.

    Planet child bands are on itunes, but are not available at AM.

    Also available at AM:

    sForzato

    Yeti

     

    Hmm, it would probably then be possible to use AM JP. Though I think it might be difficult since it's probably in Japanese... 


  4. ^unfortunately I paid already ToT I saw the small packet but I don't know, I was afraid for my items :/ it was written no tracking number (ok), no insurance if damages or lost etc I was afraid.

    For my first order, I've chosen FedEx like an idiot (and I've got custom fees) so this time, I was thinking to choose Air Mail immediately, but I didn't know the difference between these 2 Air Mail.

    I tried to avoid custom fees as possible, and for EMS, the amount of being taxed is high. This is why I didn't choose EMS (by fear too).

    Nevermind then, too bad for me I wasn't thinking, I'm a n00b.

     

    How does the customs of France work? Here in Finland if your order total + shipping is over 22€, it might get stuck in the customs and you'll have to pay 24% VAT.

     

    BUT informed me, that when you're paying for the shipping (Charge 2), you can change the value of your items! :D I've never paid any VAT after learning that haha and it really saves me a lot of money. I usually set the individual CD price around 100-200 yens with a little variety so that it looks "natural". I tend to buy a lot of used CDs too, so sometimes I don't even need to change the original value haha.

     

    There's one thing you have to consider though: If you change the value of your shipment eg. to 3000 yen and the shipment gets lost, you won't be refunded more than that. So in case your shipments tend to get lost, I don't recommend changing the value of your items.

     


  5. In response to the new MAL (MyAnimeList) thread:

     

    I love lists and stats. That's the only reason I use last.fm. When I first encountered MAL, I seriously thought about starting to watch anime just to make awesome lists about which episodes I've seen.

     

    Imagine how awesome it would be to have a similar CD collection site? At least I don't know about any that kind of sites. You could just tick which CDs you have, and probably create lists based on things you'd like to get and things you'd like to sell. Imo this sounds like the greatest idea of the century in case it doesn't exist. If it does, please inform me.
