"cleversimon: If you deleted something you ripped from a CD, rip it again next time you want it. If you downloaded it from some illicit file-sharing site, you’ll be able to again, probably in less than 10 minutes if you look in the right places (hell, less than a minute is possible). And if you own it on vinyl, I’m pretty sure you’re breaking some law by listening to an MP3 instead (but I don’t know how fucked up the law is over there in Canada)."

— Quisby: Help me organize my music. 

Very interesting post on organizing your music. I might give it a try.
