Is there a goon favourite software for file recovery? My music HDD died a ways back and I thought I had it all backed up but I'm noticing some bands weren't fully backed up. I could re-rip my CD's of course but don't have a CD drive at the moment. I've tried photorec and it could recover the files but not the metadata or file names. I know of recuva and active file recovery but don't currently have a license to either one (used to have an active bootdisk license, was good software but lost the license due to some fuckery I won't go in to)

Cardiovorax posted:I think it is. I had to recover a file six months ago and I'm fairly sure Recuva wouldn't let me restore more than 500MB of it or something like that. Did that change? Looks like recuva can't deal with the damage on the disk, so I might have to try active file recovery at some point.

I now have an order of magnitude more music than I used to. I used to use spotify myself but got enough of them deleting poo poo from my library so went back to loving around with mp3's instead. I'm not gonna gently caress around with apple products, got enough bad experiences to stay away from that.

CyberPingu posted:I wish see Spotify had an upload feature for my own music like Google music has yeah that would have saved it for me. Google music just sucks when it comes to selection here. So gently caress it, I can rip from cd's instead and listen to what I loving want to.

CyberPingu posted:I mean. Spotify premium is still one of the only sub services that is 100% worth its value though. yeah probably, I just listen to some weird stuff and the way spotify handles syncing local files I might as well save the money and gently caress around with mp3's instead.

I caved and bought Active Bootdisk in the end and managed to recover most of my songs. A few seem to have become corrupted but uh, I'll find out which and weed those out in due time I guess? There was like 50 gigs of music and audio files and some didn't get the tags or names recovered and I have no idea what they are, might be stuff from games or something. But I got the stuff I was missing from my collection at least.

Ghostlight posted:it's really good if your laptop has a touch screen. I'll be honest, I don't really ever use my laptops touchscreen. I bought a loving "convertible" laptop because I figured maybe I could start drawing but instead it gathers dust in a backpack for the most part.

I find it much easier to just press win key, write calcu, press enter and then do numpad magic for whatever myself. I don't even know where on my phone the calculator app is tbh. It's there somewhere I guess. But I also can't use touchscreen quickly to save my life.
