Congrats on the find! I definitely have experienced this before.

Showing my age a bit here, but in my early teens it was the beginning of the age where people were downloading music and burning their own CD's. I'm talking about LimeWire and Napster, if anyone here ever used that. Anyway - I used to download toooons of music and burn numerous CD's. At the time iPod's were very expensive, so I was just using an old portable CD player. This was around 2004/2005.

I had burned all these CD's, and when CD's became less and less relevant I moved over to using an iPod. I had a major computer crash in 2007 and had to build my music library up from scratch again. After a move, my piles of burned CD's ended up in a box in a crawlspace at my parent's house. I totally forgot they existed, and was content with my newly built music library.

Fast forward 5 years and I'm moving again, and going into the crawlspace to find any belongings and lo behold - my old burned CD's! Most of them had titles that labeled them by genre or feel but lacked a track listing, and when I put them into my new computer most of the tracks were just called Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc.

To this day, there are several songs I love from back in that era which I absolutely don't know the name of, or who did them. I was able to Google lyrics for some to find out the names of them, but there are lots of instrumental tunes I'm unsure I'll every know the name of. But hey, at least I get to listen to them smile


Cheers,
