Music industry’s 1990s hard drives, like all HDDs, are dying:

The music industry traded tape for hard drives and got a hard-earned lesson.

Backup panic?
I have a thousand or more CD's and DVDs in a light proof alu box
I have some 24 year old floppies and a USB floppy reader...
And some 20 year old harddisk that still works...
A 15 year old USB stick used every day...
Many old SDcards.
I like one of the comments that says illegal copies will save the situation.
