What does this Mean?
It's really frustrating to have a job run for a long time - it was at 47:23:17 when I took the screenshot below - and to realize you cannot let the job finish. There was 150 GB more to be synched up to the "easystore" drive but... there is only 54.4 GB free on that drive. After I eliminate 95.6 GB on the "easystore" drive, I will finish.

Capacity for a Future
Capacity and the ability to store all of my files is a big concern to me. I was just reviewing what I have available on my Google Drive and this is what I found:
What is interesting / alarming / thought-provoking is that I am exceeding the amount of storage in my default plan (15 GB) by 61.33 GB. That means by 7/16/19, I will need a different solution for whatever files / data are currently being stored. As I progress on the CD to MP3 conversion, I know I will need a lot of storage. I also need to consider the following projects that are in my future:

- pictures to JPG
- videos to MP4 project

Nothing Special
There's nothing really special about today - 8/22/2017 - as far as why I would post a screenshot of the properties of my Music_Shell folder. I just felt like it.
Not So Alone in the World
I would not be converting my CDs to MP3 now if I had a backup system in place when I started to move my files to the now-dead EHD I had christened "the R:\ drive." I would be probably converting my 1000 cassettes to MP3 instead of my CDs - at least I like to think that. Yet, the fact that my EHD died seems common in the world. I read this article about an artist and when asked what current projects he is working on, he said this:
What bullshit! From my perspective, when I have lost all of my music files on my external hard drive, not once did I think "Oh, this is a nice restart to my music collection." NOT ONCE! I can smell the smoke this guy is blowing up the interviewer's ass from here.
Here's the article: Get In Your Feels with Reality By Ray Volpe.
Editor's Note: Feeling passionate, eh?
I’m currently working on rebuilding my music and sample library after losing all of my files on my external hard drive. It’s a nice restart and new chapter and has lit a fire under my ass to create some new stuff. I have some remixes dropping soon as well for some exciting artists, the most public one being one for Boombox Cartel sometime in the future.

78s Digi
As I slog my way through the CD to MP3 conversion, I am in awe of projects like this one - https://archive.org/details/georgeblood&tab=collection - which converted 25,989 78 RPM records to digital. It makes me think that my conversion of 5000 CDs to MP3 is not nearly as big as I thought it was.
