I send an email with a question.
Company responds with more questions.
I clarify, with screenshots.
Company escalates problem.
I repeat scenario with new higher level tech support.
They call and walk me through the steps to solve the problem.
Now it's happening again and I need to know how to fix it and did I write down the answer? I did not. My email trail is useless!
Google Fu, Scott !
My motto, serving me well for a very long time: I'm not the first to see this problem.

I recorded so much of my own synth work onto a Portastudio cassette back in the day. So I still have the cassettes, but nothing to play them on. And two of the four channels are gonna be reversed if I use a regular cassette player. But, so much of it was experimenting that I don't want to send tapes labelled "Homework 4" off to some digitizing company and waste a lot of money/time.
I still have an old Tascam Portastudio like that - it still works but I don't have a regular cassette deck to copy the songs to anymore and I haven't invested in any digital transfer gadgetry.
At least you can do that. I diligently put a lot of my past digital life onto Zips and now I can't find anyone to read them. I would ask you, but I can't decipher my disk-naming scheme so I don't know if the disks I have are the ones I care about. And by "care about," I mean "mildly curious about." So whatever's there, except for nostalgia, I would be better off re-building or forgetting about. Hell, half of it's probably in (Aldus) Freehandâ¢

Having to resurrect a Power Mac G3 to find the floppy drive was dead. Then going through all those floppies, Zips, Syqest disks then transferring all that to 1 thumb drive all to find my past graphics and web designs from a past life.
99% should be completed today.

You are not, I assure you. It's not a bad song, I'm sure the band would be fine too. I think ptooey might have mentioned it and I was in the same place as you... until I looked it up and I thought "oh, sure, that song" and now I do hear it everywhere. It's like that Mariah Carey Christmas song; I thought that was a cover of something from the 50s... it's just so pop-perfect it feels like I've known it forever... and maybe we did: Bob Dylan wrote the chorus in the 70s. Did it get used somewhere else in another song? I dunno.
Nope. Also; where's the fiddle player?
I've never heard it before either. I only play music I want to hear and that one doesn't come up in any rotation the stations I listen to play. Now after listening to about 20 seconds or so I too am a member of the No Wagon Wheel club.
As you could imagine, it's a popular song in Appalachia and particularly around Raleigh. I don't think I'd heard it until I moved to NC. I remember playing an open mic night years ago at a local bar and while people were signing in the guy running it was explaining about how many songs and how long people could play and then added: "Oh, and no fucking 'Wagon Wheel'". First time I had heard that phrase.
Iâve sat around many a campfire with musicians hanging out. Inevitably, someone will kick into âWagon Wheel.â Everybody knows how to sing it, or learns quickly, plus it is easy an easy song for harmonizing. I donât recall hearing it on the radio though. Letâs see if RP will put it on the rotation
I'm another who has never heard this before that I can recall.
Yeah, it's ok. If I never heard it again that would be ok, too.
25 times a week and there would be a problem.

I think that might be part of the annoyance - it's such a simple and common chord progression. G D Em C G D C
I mean the bona fides of that band are hard to beat. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings in that video. I don't believe I've ever called it up before so that was interesting. I know she's played with them tho.
