Thanks for this suggestion and reminder! My MP3 collection is a HUGE mixed up mess that needs to be seriously cleaned up and purged for exactly the same reasons you just mentioned. Sadly, I've got an increasingly nasty case of tinnitus that I've had since childhood, but has gotten somewhat worse with the birth of my 2 kids in the last 5 years. Perhaps it's the screaming. Perhaps it's that I'm just turning 50. At any rate, it will be interesting to see, once I get these files cleaned up/upgraded, if I'll be able to tell the difference between 128k and something as delicious sounding as FLAC. However, I'm still holding on to my vinyls. They're safely hidden away here at the house where no meddling kids can find them. A couple more years of maturity in these boys and I'll bust out the turntable and turn these boys on to some of my gems like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Mingus, and Monk... Maybe even throw in some Allman Brothers, Deep Purple or ELO. Then again... Spotify has 320k doesn't it... Makes me think about deleting or at least seriously purging the MP3 directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ noexit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111486
