| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Thank for your replies.The Music Vault and the Naim server are both way out of my budget. They are, however cool as hell and would be nice to have. Ghosthouse: I ripped a couple of cds using ALAC and it took almost 15 minutes to rip each cd. I... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hey Rok!Some years ago I kind of got into Roy Hargrove. I found his music to be solid, melodic and diverse. Here's one where they are simply blowing the doors off the hinges. Check out the piano solo, you can thank me later.I love this sh*t.Bob... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok,I love that tune. Thanks for posting.Bob | |
