all this is true, except your statement about harddrive failure. ANY hard drive will most likely fail eventually. So the ipod hd and the vortexbox hd are both equally likely to fail eventually. That's why any data you want to save needs to be backed up. Even data on CDs will fail too (CDs become unreadable, etc. after a number of years, although this mostly relates to CDR, CDRW, etc. (not so much commericial music CDs (although they can go bad too). Bottom line...backup all data, at least once, maybe to multiple locations. Large USB drives are dirt cheap now, so not much reason not to have a good backup. p.s. Buy a cheap IPOD cradle (the APPLE one is fine) and connect this with a power cable to electricity and analog out cable to the inputs of your Stereo. When you want your music, drop your IPOD into the the cradle and it's ready, set your stereo receiver to AUX, CD, or whatever the input is labled on your receiver. All done and it will sound quite good! The Wadia ipod cradle with DAC bypass is way, way, way overkill for playing mp3 files to your stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95360 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
