Music files are starting to infect my hard drives again.

Pertinent equipment
live events,cd player,turntable,fm tuner - sources
sony pcm-m10 - capture
file folders ~ artist - album - sound files,txt notes
microsd - transport
zip clip - player
headphones,poweramps - sound

The ability to browse the folders and read/edit the notes and transport the music everywhere with the zip clip is infectious.

Just a happy boy.
Now playing "Beausoleil: Live. Looking Back Tomorrow"

Approaching 2500 albums - I listen to LPs often but shuffle play only has been worth the cost of admission.

I've been way into audio since I was a teenage in the early 70s and here in 2014 I'm more into it than ever before.

Edit - NO LOSSY FORMATS!
