Which computer for digitizing and streaming?


Hi All,

After five foot surgeries, I'm moving to digitize my LP collection. I will be buying a new computer which will be used exclusively as a music streamer. My question: does the computer matter other than the size of the hard drive? I could get a mini mac or a PC laptop; I'm not wedded to either format. Other than size of the hard drive, what, if any, other specs should I be on the lookout for?

Any advice recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Alot of users try to shut down or turn off non-essential progras running in the back ground of the computer. While I agree that any nonsese shouldn't even be installed (or remove when you buy it), so it doesn't even start up, I have found that a large number of users have puter problems they aren't even aware of (windows OS system issues), which greatly hinder performance (and eventually brick their rigs). I strongly suggest getting (you need to pay for them as the free ones identify but dont eridicate) a really good anti virus program AND separate malware program. Keep away from the popular commercial brands (mcafee/norton) and no one program is as good a 2 separate ones and sepnd a few hundred bucks on each (life time; cheapest thing you will ever buy for your rig) I like Panda - hey, being we get hacked by china...
