Indianajones,
I just tried the remedy on my system and I hear very faint noise with
the playback when I do what you said to do... It's sort of like high
frequency static noise. If you don't hear it from your speakers,
maybe you can hear with it with nice headphones. Can you see if you
I plan to use an old Thinkpad 240 (300 MHz, 128 MB RAM, W2K) for the server.
If this is a slimserver dedicated PC, then I would definitely recommend SlimCD instead of W2K.
Works much better with low specs. W2K is a dogwith 128 MB of RAM.

EAC (for ripping and tagging, including retrieving tag data
from freedb) and Mp3tag (for massaging/correcting tags and,
occasionally, file names).
Notwithstanding the time spent learning some of the ins and
outs of EAC and
Munge,
I use Mac and naturally I use the iTunes. I've never used EAC. But
my understanding is that the EAC (Exact Audio Copy!) can do better

agreed, but SlimCD on that machine may still be challenging (the old IBMlaptops needed some black magic boot strings passed because of their
non-standard CD interfaces).
SlimCD boots fine on Thinkpad T22. I do not know about any older models.
Alternatively, you could pull out the hard drive from
