OK, I'll have a go at this. Why pay big bucks for RipNAS? Dont get me wrong, its a great product in a small package but can get expensive for large collections. How many CDs does the guy need to rip? If its fewer than 3000 CDs, buy a suitable PC and install VortexBox on it (or buy one from VortexBox all ready to go for $359). VortexBox runs SC and does auto CD ripping. Buy a video output card for the Vortexbox PC that matches the LCD input. Now SC is displayed on the big TV. Add a wireless mouse and keyboard and the guy can do everything from his easy chair in front of the big screen. If he has plenty of extra bucks he could have two PCs, one running VortexBox and another running WHS or HP Media Server to put the pics on the TV. If he has enough computer skills to use dBpowerAmp on its own, then just go the WHS or HP Media Server route adding SC and dBpowerAmp to the installed software. Many routes to take here depending on skill level and how automatic it needs to be. As for album art with dBpowerAmp, it gets it right more times then not. Everybody tends to have some CDs that don't match or cant be found, for those few all one needs is a scanner or AIO printer to put the cover art in. The biggest issue I find is that most of the databases put the latest release cover art in. So even though cover art was available for most of my CDs, I had to scan in about 200 to match what I actually had (which was a little over 1 percent). Sure the title and artist match but it's not what I am used to seeing when I think of the album. Labels being sold and the new label wanting to update the cover art and make it their release cause most of these. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61727
