when my drives fail I just buy a new housing of ebay for a few dollars, then just transplant everything. I've had 3 hard drives fail and this fixed all of them

Does it show up as connected in the BIOS? Doesn't really matter if you can see the partitions etc in Windows, but if the BIOS can see the CONTROLLER then you can try using SpinRite.

Digital: 657 lossless files. However ~100 are "retired" (ie, after buying/owning for awhile I've decided they didn't make the cut).
Vinyl: I'm down to 24 crates, but need to have another sale.

I wish I had the time in the day to count my entire storage locker of vinyl, vinyl in the loft AND digital music on 4 different hard drives, 2 laptops and a studio PC.

I have far too much music. But never enough.

in 2 laptops and 1 pendrive I have around 2000 "DJ" tracks from end 2011 till now + around 500 "listen" tracks + 30 albums + I wanna dig more in summer

About 6000 digital files, and around 3000 records. So I would guestimate somewhere around 12-15,000 individual tracks. Not including albums / complations...

About 10,000. Singles, albums, instrumentals, short sounds, scratch sounds, acapella's. Mainly build out of tracks ripped from my CD's, vinyl and online music stores.

Also have around a 1000 records laying around.

I used to have 60k+ but you know you can't play that all.

so I filtered and picked 4000 songs and then erased rest of them.

now I also have 700 best picks out of 4000.

I've been djing for a little over a year now and I'm sitting around 400-500 tracks, not much but I know them all inside and out.

I usually dj with 20k on my ssd electronic music spanning from early 90s and mostly digital copies of vinyl I've owned. It was much larger but in 2003 I had a 80gb drive that contained a lot of my rare white labels crash and after recovery only about 40gb was salvageable due to glitching in the recovery processes.. One I've really wanted to find but can't is Kate bush running up that hill infusion remix.. Sasha vs garbage expanding girl .. This one I reconstructed it to repair the glitchy because of the rarity of it an that it was only glitched in one spot...

Had some really rare gems that I wish I wouldn't of had lost or stolen in the early 2000s I estimate roughy 100whites/test presses with unreleased mixes .... That all said I keep multiple copies now of my own vinyl rips.

No such thing I'm afraid. If you can see your drive in the BIOS then give SpinRite a go. If SpinRite doesn't work, it's a freezer/radiator job, and if THAT doesn't work, then we're into drive disassembly territory.

If you can't even see the drive in the BIOS, it's usually a controller problem.

I'm on about 1,500 tracks, that just in my "House, Electro, Tech" folder.
doesn't include my Trance or Psy-Trance stuff.

Been collecting since 03/04. Tracks going back to mid to late 90's. Maybe further.

All house music in some form.

Pretty much just filled a 750GB hard drive.

Majority is MP3 192-320Kbs.

I daren't count, because that would just illuminate how much I have to sort out as I have no filing system whatsoever.

If I'm counting everything on my HDDs that I have laying about, it's probably upwards of 40,000. On the PC I use for mobiles/clubs every week, I've slimmed it down to about 3500-4000. It's constantly changing though - subbing out older/less popular stuff for new or trendy songs.
Ara Tima

I got around 3000 digital files on my DJ laptop. 500 or so records, 500 or so CDs and a pile of old HDDs under the bed that probably have 10,000+ tracks, I haven't looked at those for 5-10 years though so god knows whats on there, some of the stuff is from the Napster days so it's probably better it stays under the bed.

45000 in iTunes. 1200 in Traktor. I have been collecting for over 20 years. It took me two years to burn all my CDs and a lot of time to rip my vinyl.

About 4900 on the laptop but almost 10000 on the desk, I'm a huge metal fan and had a big hip-hop kick years back so those are still on the main drive but can't mix metal for the public so I keep that shit for rainy days.
Lannie Kutay

about 84,000 now, from years of collecting and pooling and i do mobiles
Addie Engbrecht

a little over 1000. I try to be good about only keeping music I can use, and getting rid of tracks that don't work anymore.

If the controller checks out and it's a physical problem, then running SpinRite on the drive might get some of it back.

Saying that, if you're using a Mac you're probably fucked regardless of what the problem is; HPFS+ is notoriously difficult to recover data from a failure.
Well there's my shining light of hope, I'll probably have to do some research locally on what company or who can do this for me but im sure data recovery from this drive would cost no less than 1k whoever it may be but that's just me i just hope im dead wrong on this one

I'm not entirely sure on how it went poof it just did, It started doing the clicking sound and my OS does not see it at all anymore checked on bios and it would seem that it does not see it as well.

I used to have about 20,000 but now I have brought it down to 4294. I never listened to 20k tracks, my goal is to down to about 2500 if I can. I also have signed up for Spotify premium which helps a ton with disposable tracks the I will only list to a few times.

Vinyl Edit - I got my vinyl down to about 1000 quality tracks from 8000 ish I had a few years ago. That said I may have played about 20 of them this year. DVS changed the game.

5137 total tracks in iTunes as of today. Probably about half is electronic/suitable for mixing. I have about 100 or so tracks in my "to be listened to" folder too sadly. Gotta get to work.
