Media player

Ok I am a novice, plus I don't understand the technical jargon ? But I love music . I have a reasonable sound system , what I am after is some that I can put my music DVDs to store and still have quality sound and vision? Once again don't baffle me wit science , lately listening through iPod through system , now I know there is equipment to enhance sound quality to cd standard , so if anybody can recommend equipment I would be most happy , thankyou

I use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for all of my music files. This is simply a big hard drive that plugs into your home network.

Working with the NAS, I have a small Computer with J. River Media Center installed. This too is on the home network. The Media Center software on the computer plays the files from the NAS. The computer is connected to the DAC of my audio system for playback.

On my iPad, I have an app called JRemote. This interfaces with the software on the computer, so I can play and control the music that way.

The J. River Media Center software handles, music, videos, and photos. I don't do anything with music videos, so have not worked with those.

Lse,
Sounds great, but don't you have all those files on your stick backed up somewhere?

Okay, so you're downloading/adding files to your iMac and putting them on your stick for playback through your Universal.
I'm not sure how you fit 5,000 apple lossless files on a 256mb stick, when that file type is about the same size as Flac files? Do you mean those files are on your iMac, and you move over what you want to the stick?
