I suggest checking out 'Vortexbox' (http://vortexbox.org/). Its free and runs a Linux OS. Ubuntu is another good OS choice and is free but doesn't include SBS 7.4 already installed, but one needs a little knowledge or learning of it. Vortexbox is basically hands off and will rip your CDs to FLAC by simply inserting them into the DVD drive. Using an old PC is fine, but I recommend a Gig of Ram as Pat does and put a newer DVD writer in for pass accurate rips plus eliminating problems with Vortexbox install.
RIp to FLAC. Buy an SB3 or wait for a Touch especially if you want to do 24/96 files native. So check out the Vortexbox website and give it a try. If you don't like it, it only cost you some time. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: 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: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71508 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
