Big Finish downloaded
Decided to sit up and get all the remaining Big Finish DRM-free files while I still can. These are for nearly 700 audio plays I have bought from Big Finish since 2003. Mostly Doctor Who, but also Torchwood, Sapphire & Steel, Blake's 7 and many more (like a marvellous version of The Box of Delights!). Big Finish have majorly broken their website and app in last week's update. So I don't trust them, and realised I should have backups of everything. Luckily it's feasible for me to do this now, with part fibre speedier broadband. So I've now downloaded 440GB worth of MP3 files and Apple lossless audiobook files. Have started backing them up to our NAS and my desktop Mac. And Martin is going to help me with a Unix-type script to rename the individual audiobook folders to the proper names, rather than their ISBNs they currently have. But phew. Yes, all down. I even in the end went through the achingly slow 140 pages of 5 titles at a time, making sure that I had downloaded everything that I wanted. The site is still a mess. I am still missing some ordered items I should have access to. Especially recent orders. But hey, got what I can for now. Happy!
