| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. I'm not sure there's a GOAT pop song, but Paul McCartney's "Yesterday" certainly deserves to be near the top of the list. The Beatles original still retains its power, and it's been recorded by thousands of artists over the years. | |
| Multiple DVD Players To be clear, when I said I had a "fantastic local library system," I meant a public library, where discs can be borrowed for free. That's a great resource for me and good reason to keep a disc player in my system. | |

| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? tvrgeek The PC drive is sufficient for ripping with 100% integrity. ( something no transport is capable of as it does not re-read, buffer and use error correction or compare to well known checksums.) You are mistaken. The compact disc sta... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? markalarsen Today, everyone is an expert on everything with a complete disregard of the scientific methodology.
