It interests me that you did it in such a way that the download folder stayed the same. I have something more like this going. (Honestly it's even worse because my top layer is like a physical drawer somewhere)
I took a little liberty with what “downloads folder” meant. It’s not in my root downloads folder, it’s sorted out into a music folder. It was a download though.
I’m just pretty impressed I managed to keep my music library going continuously for 24 years. 20 of those years are just single HDD no redundancy storage, just hopping HDD to HDD.
