Yes, partially self-inflected, I usually have my players set to "resume playing when turned on", so that just pushing the power button is enough when my wife wants to listen to radio...

Not an issue with flac and even reasonably modern players (unless they have totally broken "soft mix" features"). "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

In general your life will be easier with individual FLAC files for each track, with proper per-track metadata in the files - much more portable and future-proof. And there are excellent tools under *ix for managing the metadata. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

Wow - that was a lot of audiophile folklore/superstition/phraseology compressed into one single, short message! :) "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

The problem is that Real Audiophiles are prepared to give up all that convenience if they believe it will buy them even a tiny improvement in sound quality - many are actually proud of it. Unfortunately a lot of audiophile folklore and voodoo is not actually based on facts, so usually there is no actual improvement. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
