I'd multi-quote if i knew how... Jjzolx - it's not so much learning new software. Quite happy to do that. I learnt how to use Clean to digitise my vinyl; then had to switch to audacity for a few cassettes; most recently getting to grips with something for tinkering with bagpipe music settings! If it's a programme, and the options are limited to what you see via the GUI, then I'm happy enough, it's when I need to deal with anything more fundamental such as entering BIOS or system registry stuff, or building or integrating things, that's when I get beyond my comfort level. It seems there's a lot of assumed knowledge and i guess I don't have some of that, and the answers, if they're available can be hard to find on the web, not least because you need to be confident that what you're reading comes from someone who knows what they're talking about so you have to check out a dozen other replies just to be sure.
Reinhold - thanks for the reminder of the support available. I'm certainly appreciating it again. I did also back in the early days getting my first SBs set up. Stuff to do with ports, firewalls and pings, and I valued the advice I got then. When I first started ripping stuff into MP3 I suppose I didn't fully appreciate all the complexities, and the importance of tagging. I certainly relied too much on the auto-tagging because it was really easy, and I just didn't realise the extent of the errors that could creep in. So I think I'm going to have to go through them all again anyway, and it seems to make sense to me to dovetail that with a systematic re-ripping of the audio content onto a (my perception) more robust platform. At which stage, I might as well do it to a 'better' standard, just in case that becomes important at some stage. comments from a few here, like erland and garym, who are vortexbox appliance users, suggest that they are quite user-friendly devices, but like I said right at the outset, I'm just starting to look at this, and while the vortexbox is the front-runner at this stage I could well go with something else at the end of the day. Appreciating all the contributions.
