Mostly because even if I really like a movie I won't watch it more than a few times. So, spinning discs are fine for that. Music is different. There are songs I've heard 500 times that I still love to hear. Also, shuffle play with music tracks makes a lot of sense. Shuffle play with chapters from different movies makes no sense at all. I do keep some video on my file server, but it's mostly stuff I've created myself. It also tends to be be short material typically 1-3 minutes. I digitized VHS tapes because tapes are bulky, of marginal quality, and they deteriorate over time. I haven't had a VCR in my home theater for years. I did have one in my computer room to digitize any tapes I really wanted to watch. Now that everything worth keeping is digitized, the VCR was given away, and more than 150 tapes went in the trash. Most of the stuff I wanted to keep wasn't even movies. It was mostly sporting events I've attended and a couple of appearances on network shows. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50035 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
