Young attractive woman accidentally deletes 40 years of mp3s

My mp3 collection consists of 8,399 songs and 58.9 GB of music. I have been adding to this collection since I was 4 years old (2007), when I “recorded” a few songs off the radio. I have ripped songs from CDs, recorded songs from YouTube, purchased mp3 albums from amazon mp3, and even ripped vinyl records. Over the course of the year, I bought an external hard drive and transferred the songs onto it. I have the mp3s on two computers and the external hard drive. I got a new laptop and decided to put my music on it. I decided to transfer the mp3s directly from the external hard drive. When I transferred the files, the mp3s had an exclamation mark next to them. At the time, I didn’t think anything of it, I just figured they were in the cloud. Later, when I looked at the mp3s on my other two computers, they were all deleted. I was devastated. All of mp3s were gone. I had 8,399 songs, majority of which I had never listened to. Many were still unedited, showing as track 1. I was pissed at myself for the mistake. I originally figured my external hard drive had died along with the two laptops. I couldn’t sleep because the deleting of my mp3s kept playing over and over and over again. I wondered what I had lost, many of those songs were of no value to me and I was never going to listen to them. But it was still a huge loss. I had songs from when I was a little girl, 4, 5 years old. I got a kick out of ripping mp3s from websites. Many were random songs that I didn’t like, but got a kick out of ripping them. Others, I was obsessed with the song, but had never listened to it again. I thought about how music streaming took over the music industry. Now, nobody needs to own the albums anymore. I grew up listening to the radio, watching music videos on television, purchasing the album from the store, ripping songs mp3s from websites, creating playlists, deleting songs, and making new playlists. But I could never replicate the exact collection of songs I had. While mp3s are still available, many are no longer available. Purchasing CDs was a bitch. You can still buy them, but nobody sells them anymore. When I was little, there were always CDs available and you could purchase them at the grocery store. Many of the songs I used to listen to were random. I hadn’t heard them in years, and many I will never hear again. I decided to call the Geek Squad, see if they can help me recover the files. I was pretty sure it was gone forever, but I was willing to try anything. I was hoping that they could recover the files, which would be super cool. But if they couldn’t, I would just fuck it and purchase a subscription for a music streaming app, like Spotify. I made a new playlist while I was waiting. It felt nice to make a new playlist, something I hadn’t done in years. While I missed the old playlist and the songs I lost, I was also excited to create a new playlist. I finally got through to the Geek Squad. The man sounded like a young boy. He said that mp3s were basically deprecated software, nobody used them anymore. It was an inferior software that couldn’t be used on modern computers. I told him how much my mp3s were worth to me and he said he would do his best. He said the external hard drive was probably dead. If it was, then the files would be lost forever. He said he was giving me bad news, I was prepared to hear the worst. But then he said mp3s were the same as wav files, that the files would still be on the other computers, even if the external hard drive was dead. All I had to do was back up the mp3s from mp3 files to wav files. I asked what was the difference between mp3 and wav. He said wav was superior software. He said I wouldn’t notice a difference, that it was basically the same thing, but that mp3s were inferior technology. I feel like mp3s are no longer mp3s anymore. I bought wav files, which feel different. I am happy to have my music back, which was my greatest concern. But I still miss how it used to be, back in the day. Nothing could ever replace how it was, back in the day. When I heard that my mp3s were an inferior technology, it was like the final nail in the coffin. It feels like music streaming is the only music, at least in the US. Nobody talks about mp3s anymore. When I told people that I had accidentally deleted 40 years of mp3s, they told me to buy a subscription and stop being lazy. I fuckin hate lazy people. I am just an old soul who loves old music. I loved old technology. I loved growing up and listening to the radio and watching music videos. I even loved ripping mp3s from mp3 websites. I bought CDs and ripped them. My point is, 8,399 songs cannot be replicated. Music has changed. Technology has changed. Nobody buys music anymore, they just listen to it. Nobody needs to actually own the mp3. Nobody owns music anymore. I feel like an old soul. I feel like I am from a different world. I watched music streaming take over the music industry. I am happy that my music was recovered, but I still think about what was lost. I was one step away from losing everything. I will never see mp3s the same way. When I listen to them, I realize that mp3 technology is over and dead. Music streaming is the future. I know it’s better, but I miss the old days. [Edit] I realized that mp3s were bought through amazon mp3 and ripped songs through windows media player, which is basically a dead technology. [Edit2] The comments are awesome, thank you so much. I really appreciate all the comments. [Edit3] I feel like I’m going crazy, all the comments are so good. I feel like I’ve been transported to the 90s, back when I used to rip mp3s and create playlists.
