Very sorry updates have been sparse. I'd not long got back into working on this after a long absence from it. The computer I used was in storage and I've had a lot of stuff on including a house move. Admittedly I only moved 2 doors down, but there's far less room for my stuff in this house. There was no more collecting of sounds left, all I've been doing for some time is just putting them in named folders by category. Unfortunately, last week I got the dreaded message saying the hard drive needed formatting before I could access it.

I had no choice but to format, but immediately ran Recuva and rescued ALL the files on there. Nothing was lost as far as I can tell. However, as anyone who's used recovery software before will know, when it identifies and then saves the deleted files, you get all the files but no folders. So every bit of work I did in sorting the files into their relevant folders by category is lost. Not only that, but any archives I downloaded or ripped originally which were also all in folders are also now unsorted.

Absolutely chaotic! I wish I'd had an extra harddrive to run as a raid clone so this could never have happened.

So basically I'm back to square one. In fact I'm back even further than that as the files I had originally aren't even sorted anymore!
