Somehow my subscription to this thread did not register so a nice surprise to see all these responses.
I mis-prioritized my reasons, I guess, just rattling them off the top of my head. But still nice to corroborate what I kind of expected as far as the space savings. Foobar does not actually encode on the fly so it does a great job with playing right out of the zips. And since it does this so well I was assuming that it was fairly easy to do. I see that this is not desirable for streaming. My initial ideal was to avoid encoding on the fly as much as possible even considering the network cost. I want it to sound as good as possible. So I thought the unzipping could use the time left that encoding would take. Let me list as a new #1 reason: I'm pushing these systems to friends and relatives who are not so tech-ie and I'm trying to keep the user interface as simple as possible. I really appreciate the hint about Robocopy! and I will def check it out.
