What do you mean "moved it all up into Google Play"? Are they hosting mp3s now?

When Google Play came out, that was all that they started with, and once enough people started using it, they started selling music on it as well.
I initially started using it as a way to easily sync music onto my phone, since it has a LRU of all your played songs, as well as any albums you mark explicitly for download.

Do you remember mp3.com’s Beam It service?

How times have changed.
That was my (similar - I never went to RAID 5) experience as well. I moved it all up into Google Play and haven't looked back. No more worries about a hard drive taking down my collection (in hindsight RAID 5 may have helped), no more duplicate copies or tracks that were badly ripped so they skipped, no more worrying about keeping a pile of CD's "just in case", just the music I wanted to listen to when I wanted to listen to it.
