one time I leant a friend a special cd of mine (it was special because it had some songs on you can't buy in regular shops). she wanted to listen to it- and I'm like fine, give it a listen and see what you think
well, she made the disk quite dirty- and even scratched it. the following week when I came to collect it from her, she goes to me... well, I sort of scratched your special cd- and I'm like that's okay, it can't all be scratched- I'll have it back and see how good it still plays, anyway it's special to me
then she goes... I didn't want to embarrass you by giving you a scratched cd so I snapped it and through it away
and I'm like you....... what?. I can't get that cd back, ever. I hate you so bad now
most of those songs were forign language (spanish), and getting them back- even in digital form will be hard
