I suggest calculating a checksum file from your active files.

Just the most recent stuff, or at maximum, since you got the new PC. > I have just shy of 45,000 files in 780 directories or so. Almost 6,000 > in another.

I aqcuired the habit of writing checksum files in all my media directories such as music albums, tv series and such, whenever I create one such directory. That way even years later I can still check whether the files are intact. I actually experienced broken music files from time to time (mostly on the MicroSD card in my tablet). So with checksum files, I can verify which file is bad and which (on another machine) is still good. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
