  1. Organizing Music Collection on SSD in Windows 11

    Yes, a WAV file is much larger than MP3, but unbelievably I played "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins and listened to MP3 then in WAV, the difference is there. The MP3 seemed muffled where the WAV file sounded like the disc version. I have a 1TB SSD and found that you can put at lease 250,000...
  2. Organizing Music Collection on SSD in Windows 11

    I want to thank all of you for your comments. I'm very particular as to how data is stored, especially music files. I, believe it or not, found that WAV is much better than MP3, you would think I would already know that, but MP3 is how most people listen to music so, needless to say, I'm in the...
  3. Organizing Music Collection on SSD in Windows 11

    I have a moderate size music collection which I'm recording from CD to SSD. I've created a Primary folder and set it up with the information required. All CDs are copied to their own folder. Modifying the look of the folders is no problem, however, when I try to get all folders to conform to the...

    I have a 2tb WD HD. It was split into two drives but now I have 5 partitions The first is a 499MB Recovery Partition The second is a 99MB EFI System partition the third is a regular HD with 952.59GB NTFS the fourth is a 693MB Recovery partition and the fifth is 1840.62GB Unallocated partition...
  5. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    Kelper; The only problem here is that all websites require a password eight characters long and with upper case and lower-case letters with at least two numbers. If websites would adopt Steve Gibson's concept it would be a highly effective weapon against hacking passwords but, unfortunatly...
  6. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    Let's face it, it really doesn't matter what you use for your passwords, even a piece of paper for that matter. What really matters is that the passwords that you are using cannot be compromised, that's the main point. I honestly believe in special characters no matter what they are and yet some...
  7. How to keep drives in correct order

    Try3: All my drive letters are assigned through Disk Management, I just don't stick a drive in and let Windows do its thing. I think assigning H and I to the drives sounds interesting and I just may do that. F is my Cd/DVD drive so that's not an option. I'm so used to drives being in sequence...
  8. How to keep drives in correct order

    Try3: D drive is nothing more than a repository for things like Computer programs, serial numbers, manuals, Pics, just general information, and all I do is copy all the folders to the backup. The second drive is a clone of C drive and I use Macrium Reflect for the cloning; this is nothing more...
  9. How to keep drives in correct order

    I use the old method as well where B usually was the floppy drive. I've been fooling around with computers since around 1985 or so and I've never seen an A drive. I started with Windows 3.1 which I believe had about 7 or so 3.5 discs to install it. It is interesting to see the differences...
  10. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    Winuser: I never paid attention to who made Keypass or if I did know I had forgotten. But I must say that he keeps his software up to date and the way I figure it, he must know something about security because if you don't have the master password you just can't get in it.
  11. How to keep drives in correct order

    I always assign drive letters by use of Disk Management. I would think that if a drive letter is being used, Windows would assign a letter that IS NOT being used as I keep my SSD drives on all the time except for the HDD drives which I turn on for doing the back up of C and D drives. I've never...
  12. How to keep drives in correct order

    My question is how do you keep your drives in their correct order after adding another drive? All my data drives are external, USB Drives. I have 2 SSD drives and 2 HHD drives. The SSD drives are my normal data drives, and the two HHD drives are used for backup. The problem lies that each time I...
  13. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    I have been using Keypass for over 2 years and have had no problems with it, Granted, it's from Source Forge but they do keep up with patches and the best thing about it is that it's free. There is one thing I don't like about it and I'm going to recommend that they fix it, unless you don't care...
  14. Can't Install desktop mp3 player

    Porthos: Thanks for the info. Just like everything today you must hunt to figure out what to do, where to go, and so forth it gets old after a while.
  15. Can't Install desktop mp3 player

    I'm sure everyone knows about Winamp, it's been around for years. Recently somebody else has taken up the task of updating Winamp and I had it running prior to 22h2, and I must say that I love this thing. An updated version came out and you must download and install it, but for some Microsoft...
