That thing you could've sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?

Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I'm listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.

However, that doesn't do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I've no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I've had to listen to this show's episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.

And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who're more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

There are songs that I remember from OC Remix that were purged for some reason and I will never hear them again.

Should have hoarded that data better.

I may have them. Do you remember what you were looking for?

Thanks! But unfortunately no, I really don't. It's been a few times of trying to place some particular music I get stuck in my head, realizing contextually that it's from OCRemix, then hopelessly searching through archives trying to place it.

There goes my chance to use my data hoarding for the power of good. Well, if you think of any specific details that might help track it down let me know.
