| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... I had initially picked up a 2TB Raid-1 (redundant) drive for the music library, but I moved it out for two reasons: First, the fan was too noisy for a music system, and as Kijanki mentions above, the redundancy won't help if you have a fire, theft... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Larryi --You and another poster bring up a good point with respect to copyright infringements. I had not considered that at first.Between that, and wanting to have the CDs around in case better ripping technology comes about, I'm deciding to hang ... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... ~Not quite sure what you mean by that, Rok2id. I didn't think burying them was an option, but now that I consider cash and precious metals, I could see how that might work out. Should keep them nice and safe. Now, what's the best way to waterproof... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... ~If selling, eBay one-by-one? Lot sales? Here on Audiogon? | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Mabonn - funny.Kijanki - Of course I wouldn't just toss them in the garbage! I wouldn't mind keeping them -- you never know when you might need them again, such as if better tech for ripping comes along -- but I don't know where I'd put all the bo... | |

| Good primer for using XLD? As a new XLD user, I'll be watching this thread with interest.So far, I've done both AIFF and WAV rips. Only one CD reported errors. It's working pretty well for me, but my current challenge is to figure out how to get the CDs ripped and stored in... | |
| How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes? Great, Tarraga. Sounds like that setup will work well for you. | |
| How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes? It's pretty easy to do this.Copy your entire folder "iTunes" to the external USB or Firewire drive. Depending on size, it might take a while.In iTunes preferences, click the Advanced tab, and in the area that says 'iTunes Media folder location', j... | |
| On High Current Amps and Regenerators Bizango1 -- Thanks. That's an excellent idea that I'll follow up on. Once that is done, I may start looking toward dedicated lines and whole-house protectors. | |
| On High Current Amps and Regenerators Thanks for all the insight and recommendations. No doubt that Simon knows more about this than me... a LOT more. As a relative novice to this stuff, it can be difficult to reconcile what seems like conflicting advice, trying to make the right deci... | |
| DAC St-t-t-t-tutter? Steve --Well, I guess that puts me out of the running for reading the recommendations, unless they're still out there somewhere. Rob | |
| DAC St-t-t-t-tutter? Steve --PS: The new DAC is the second choice on your list. Considering a new DAC versus an older 2008 Macbook Pro, I'd certainly hope it's the MBP. | |
| DAC St-t-t-t-tutter? Thanks, Steve --I've looked toward those books a few days ago, but as far as I can tell, you need an iOS device to read them. I don't have any iOS devices available.Is there a way to read them on OS X?Rob | |
| DAC St-t-t-t-tutter? Thanks, Elizabeth!Clearly, I was hoping it wasn't the shiny new DAC having a problem.Looks like I should upgrade the computer a.s.a.p.Rob |
