Sent you a PM

To Cameron and Ron, I appreciate you guys stopping by to put your two bits in; I'm glad to see iPd still has a presence around here. And again, thanks for getting the file back in my hands. Having a place locally where iPd stores the files, to me, makes a lot of sense.

And to Ron, apology accepted. We all have off days.

Odd, last time I bought some music digitally, if I lost it, I could re-download it. *gasp*

lol this is one of the places. However, I got a URL of the file initially. They really should just email the things.

I would like to point out that I keep a local fileserver at home (which is accessible to myself from work) where I store exactly this kind of thing. However, when I went to find it, I couldn't. Why? No idea. It's possible it got accidentally deleted on my side when auditing for unneeded files and so on. I fully support savings stuff myself, so I agree with Burn-E to a degree. FWIW I have the file in 6 different places currently. 11/16, nevar forget.

Still, at 2.5MB each, it just seems illogical to not save the files on a local fileserver for clients, especially at the money invested. If 40,000 of these tunes were sold, it would only take up <100GB of space. While some outside circumstances (floods) have brought prices up as of late on spindle based HDDs, a 1TB HDD was/is fairly inexpensive.

I agree I should have saved it, and I know I did, but it went MIA (most likely my fault), which is why I reached out to iPd. I still would expect a copy to be obtainable, even if it takes awhile, from their backups or stored somewhere. To just say "welp, we might be able to get it, if not, you'll have to pay a second time" is just nonsense when the file is so small.

lol @ che trollin'
