If you have records, tapes, or CDs of music, it is only a matter of time before the hounders are going to come in and see them. Or is it? Is there a way you can have that dirty recording and not be detected?
Most LPs have very hard to read edge labels. You need to look closely to see them. And often, they would wear out and be illegible. So, if you have a sizable collection of records on vinyl, you might try putting them away when not in use. It is going to be far harder for Brother Hounder to see the tiny edge than to see the whole sleeve in its entirity. I used that trick, enabling me to keep many of my records that my study conductor wanted me to get rid of. They are usually too lazy to look for them if they are put away, and they do not want to waste too much time or appear too blatant by snooping through things that are put away.
A bonus from putting them away is that you will be able to find what you want instantly. Putting your music away means it will be in its place the next time you want to play it. That means not having to waste 15 minutes hunting for it. You will also find far fewer records getting stepped on and ruined, or otherwise ruined because they were not put away.
Tapes and CDs are harder to hide this way. The edges are both much larger than those on records, and so you are more likely to find Brother Hounder reading them. Tapes are more vulnerable to this than CDs because tapes are about 3/4" thick and CDs only about 3/8". That assumes you keep them in their jewel boxes to protect them from dirt and needless scratches, and to quickly access them at will.
Several other ways to protect your music come to mind. I read once where someone kept KISS LPs in an old Beach Boys sleeve. That only works if you are diligent in putting the record or CD in its place after use, since Brother Hounder will read the label itself if the disc is not put away. You also need to find an old, beat-up copy of something clean that is expendible, so you can put the dirty music in the container that the clean one used to be in. To me, that is a bit wasteful since you have to spend a dollar or more on an old copy of something you don't really want. Plus, it gets confusing when you go to look for it unless you are very diligent in putting them away or have a good code system to identify the music.
With the advent of recordable music, all bets are off. Recordable CDs can be made with anything. A dirty song looks like a clean one on the disc, and you can label it with Kingdumb S*** labels on your computer, when in fact there is the filthiest rap or heavy metal on the disc. Mini discs can also be used, and the discs coded. I do that trick myself, so all the hounders will see is a code number that they cannot figure out what it means. You should have an index in a safe place if you try this, and making sure the discs are put away when not in use minimizes confusion when you want to play it.
Then there is the computer. Ripping or downloading music (I urge you not to download currently active music from P2P services since that deprives the artist of the pay for making the song) onto your computer enables you to have it at your fingertips. And, if Brother Hounder shows up, signing out and closing the music player window will prevent him from seeing what's on the menu. Some programs allow you to edit the track titles, so if you have to be dishonest and put in the wrong titles, you can do that and the hounders will think it's clean when it's not. Again, you will have to have a system so you will know what's really on the computer.
