Hmmm. I thought about that for a while already, and the conclusion I came to is that if I am going to rip everything to AAC, and keep it all online, why not pay a bit more and subscribe to Rhapsody and have access to virtually everything? I guess it really is ALL about price point. When I started thinking about how to move all my CDs to a music server of some kind - nothing mattered to me more than quality. I am very serious about my music. However, as time goes on, and the online services get better, I find that I am streaming music from online sources more and more. Whatever the final solution is - I know it won't be a standalone device separate from the SB3. The solution will be in one box, the size of what the SB3 is today. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36385 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
