Glad the pointer was helpful. I think a lot of the cost of the Vortexbox Appliance (VBA) is associated with it being a works-out-of-the-box solution, and from your self-described discomfort (or, shall we say, lack of complete comfort) with computers that may be worth the extra money. I actually enjoy tinkering with computers, and was able to buy the same hardware as the VBA for only a little more than half the cost of a VBA.
A happy compromise for you could be to install the Vortexbox software (which is free) on a PC. It replaces the PC's operating system, and is easily managed from another computer or device. The ripping and tagging tools are an integral part of the Vortexbox software, so you wouldn't need to deal with separate dbpoweramp, tagging programmes, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100416 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
