Sad Have You Fallen Into the MESS i Have -- Addicted to Downloading?

ok so i woke up today.....

and as usual i went to my comp to see if my overnight downlaods went through...

then i went and got the tracklsist for them...either here or at DP..

then i put them in my folder named "TRACK OUT"....which is my folder that i have where i put Live Sets i recentley got that have to be tracked out and make a CUE sheet for....

then after i skim throught them and track them out they go to there respected folders...(for example if its a Picotto live set from 2000 it will go into my "Mauro Picotto" Folder then in the "2000 Live Sets" Folder...) then i add it to my COLLECTION LIST..

anyway....i woke up today and saw i had like 50 sets in my "TRACK OUT" folder....and i was like what the fuck.......this is NUTS....

there is NO CHANCE in hell i could EVER listen to it all...it would be IMPOSSIBLE....

then i said lemme look at my Collection List....so i opened it up and scrolled down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down...etc etc etc.....then i counted and it came out to around 700 live sets, 300 Albums, 100 trance videos and countless singles.

i have way tooooooo much crap....so much that i dont even know what i want to burn to CD to listen to in my car and ENJOY...

i am going to see Tiesto in 2 weeks...and i swera to God i have no clue what hes playing anymore because i never lsten to him anymore...and i know alot of people dont liek Tiesto but i do...thats not the point....

the point i am trying to make is that i have fallen into a mess..where i spend so much time downlaoding Live sets that i never get to ENJOY any of it.....half the time i cant burn to CD cus i have to make DATA CDs cus i run out of room on my harddrive...and since i am so OBSSESSED with downlaoding i have failed to get a job so i cant but alot of CDs...

I mean for real...i actually have 11 Live sets from DJ Dan...i am probally the only person who EVER would downlaod these..lol but i have them....i have Alex Morph, Tillma Uhrmacher and Mark Spoon live sets...i dotn even know who they are...i dotn even care....but i am a freak where i want EVERY SINGLE LIVE SET they EVER did...or i am not happy.....

so for instance if i have 4 Warmduscher sets...i need everyone i can find.,..even if i dont like the tracklist...i WANT THEM....

it has become a SERIOUS ADDICTION.....i know it sounds funny...but it has actually prevented me from getting a job because i cant miss second of searching for live sets...i also didnt go to a club with my friends on Saturday night because i wanted to download...and they went to a club where there are LOTS of HOT CHICS...but i felt it was MORE important to finish my Blank & Jones Live Set collection...i dont even like Blank and Jones...but i HAD to get them.....

so in 2 weeks when i go see Tiesto i wont even know the tracks he drops./...last year when i got a new Tiesto or Picotto set i was SIKED and burnt it to CD right away and listened to it non stop in my car or wherever....NOW...the last Tiesto set that i burnt to CD was his Dutch Dimensions set from 02.02.02....every other set up to now i have but havent burnt to CD cus i am too busy listening and tracking out and seraching and sitting on the internet downaloding garbage liek Alex Morph, DJ Dan, Tillman Uhrmacher, Warmduscher, Kai tracid, Cosmic Gate, old AVB set, old Ferry sets...

i mean not all of it is garbage but the majority is and the majority i would NEVER want to listen to in my car....

so anyway...i have declared today for myself "D-DAY"....which means "DELETE DAY"....i am going through my entire collection today and tonight and tomorrow and deleting what i dont like or will never listen to...i am brekaing Data CDs..i am going all out....so MAYBE just MAYBE i get back to listening to what i fell in LOVE with and not be so concerned about having the largest Live Set Collection on the internet.,.,..

to some of you my problem seems dumb..but i know some of you understand,....

and if you ask WHY i am going to delete the stuff and break data cds instead of just archiving them...well its because of this.....for example i have those 11 before mentioned DJ Dan live sets...NOW...if i come accross a 12th i will want to downlaod it...BUT BUT BUT BUT if i delete all those 11 DJ Dan live sets that i have i will be like nah fuck that...because then i would only have 1 of his live sets...hard to explain....

basically i dont LOVE trance anymore because of my addiction...and i am not excited to see Tiesto in 2 weeks like i was all the other times i saw him...and its because i dotn know what he plays anymore...because i have so much crap....so i am jus sticking to downloading live sets from DJs that i LOVE....such as Tiesto, Picotto, Ferry and J00f and maybe a FEW selected DJs liek Gielen, Fijneman, PVD, AVB, Astrid...depending on the tracklist of the live set.....

i know what you mean. i have a HUGE archive of music and i don't even know why. i think that i just like the idea of having huge amounts of shit stored more then anything else. i have pages and pages of live sets and its always growing. i don't know what i want to do now that you bring it up. do i really want these sets. what is the point of having all this music that takes up soooo much room. i remember initially i just listened to live sets to get ideas of what singles to dl, but that has changed and now i do all of it. hmmmmm this needs more thought. kinda on the subject, i read today that oakie has 25,000 vinyl in his collection.... 25,000. and it grows daily. i don't know what i would do with all of that.

I somewhat know the feeling. I have ~8500 mp3s (including albums, livesets and misc stuff), most of it on data CDs (125 I think). I'm too lazy to check if I have that one song I download, so then when I sometime check my mp3list I can see that I have the same song, on 3 different CDs.. I also have loads of mp3s that I have no idea what it is and why/where I downloaded them. But WTH.. Maybe some day, I'll start listening to all mp3 CDs, which would take about 2 months, if I listened to them non-stop.. Bleh

i think that a lot of this "addiction" starts here at the site. i mean you go into the tracklist section and you see new shit everyday and then its a race... who can id the most... its like a game. i mean i have so much god damn music i recently thought i might actually try and archive every song with everymix out there... seriously i have a five hundred page word document with just tracks that i've dled. you should see the tracklist archive i have its a god damn book. most of the time, i have complete tracklists for most of the sets that are from the past in this archive, its just such a chore to search threw it that i don't go to the trouble. teist014... these are serious problems. what should we do????

first off we should compare our archives to see if we each are missing things ehehehe j/k.

ahh i know what you mean...i download an unhealthy amount of music, or i used to at least. in the days of AG i would que up like 200 songs at a time and just let them go. i am constantly looking for new music because i listen to music more than 6 hours a day and at that rate you get sick of stuff fast you i constantly need to replenish my new tracks. its a bad cycle cause you download so much and it get unorganized (my downloaded tracks folder had over 5GB of mp3s) then i get sick of them being a mess put them all in the folders they belong in on my second drive then i have a clean downloads folder

then im like "ooo i have space lets download every track thats mentioned in the latest threads and every track in those people sigs(was much easier with AG). and its a pisser when your HDD's break too cause that happened to me and i thought i was gonna cry. i had almost no music so i went on a spree and downloaded many many GB's in the span of..like 2 days.


as of now i have a word document on my destop labeled "stuff to get" full of all stuff i dont have yet that i need to download. ugh im sick.

excuse me while i go download all those tracks and categorize my downloads folder
