That makes precisely zero sense. You explain how you have all the equipment Right Now, and how it would be Work to rip and encode... And then denounce people who believe that work is justfied for better long term performance? This whole idea of keeping inferior solutions around "because I have the hardware and don't want to do any work!" seems more like "have it all, right now" than "spend a lot of time ripping, tagging, correcting tags, sorting, correcting tags again so that after you're done and satisfied you have a more robust solution." As for the comments being moot: no, they're not, actually. "Better performance" is a very good reason to get away from CD Changers. "More Reliability" is, as well. So is "Scalability" (and that comes in at several levels, not just the size of the collection, but also in the number of clients -- with a CD changer as the source of sound, you can't have one set of music playing for you in the listening room and another set playing for your spouse in the bedroom or livingroom...) Your argument is akin to someone arguing: "we shouldn't use email for business correspondence, we should print everything out! we have filing cabinets for preserving printed documents!" If you insist on keeping everything as CD audio in a changer, instead of on a hard drive, what, then, does the squeezebox and slimserver give you? It seems like all you want is a Long Speaker Cable and perhaps an IR extender. A squeezebox is so much more capable than that. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20083 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
