When I started this page, it was to list mp3s I had on my mp3 player at any given time, which meant I would occasionally add and delete titles from this list. That went on for several years, before I decided it was stupid. So now I'm just going to keep a list of mp3s I own, whether they're on my player or not. (I probably won't include any mp3s I've ripped from CDs I own.) I wish I'd started keeping a full list of my mp3s years ago, because at one point my old computer died, and took most of my mp3s with it, and now I don't remember what all I had. (Shortly thereafter, Amazon launched its Cloud service, just a bit too late.) A few years later, my new computer died, and there were still a few mp3s I had on it that somehow weren't on my cloud, so those are lost, but I may occasionally work on reacquiring them. (Until I do, I'll just put a line through the ones I've lost.) At least this time I know what to look for.
Incidentally, I did used to do file sharing, back in the day. But for a good number of years now, I've always obtained mp3s legitimately... whenever possible. (It's still possible there are some songs I can't find any way to acquire through normal channels like legit downloads or buying CDs or anything. And my feeling is, if an artist or label doesn't make it possible to buy music you want, they have no right to complain if you find other ways of obtaining said music.) But the overwhelming majority of stuff I have, I either paid for or got for free from legit sources like Amazon or artist/label websites, or whatever. But a very few of the things on this list might be holdovers from the Wild West days of P2P. (See also tek's CD-R collection.)
