AAARRRGGG. Enough said.What, you mean > you don't prefer a high noise floor, terrible signal-to-noise ratio, plenty of hiss, wow and flutter, with continuously degrading wear and worsening sound every time you listen to an album? What are you, a heretic? Any vinyl cult follower will tell you all that crappy noise stuff translates into a "warmer sound"! :D Most of the vinyl-heads I know are not old timers; they're kids in their 30s and younger. All the old timers I know laugh at them. We were amazed at how good things sounded when the digital age hit us, and we could start getting away from the nastiness of vinyl. I still buy almost all my music on CD, and rip it to FLAC for my Squeezeboxen.

Re: [slim] "Music Folder is not available while scanning"
I should have included that I'm using Orange Squeeze. Again... Recent issue that looks to be only affecting that one folder. How do I stop it? Which "that one folder"?
