Re: Magnetic/hard-drive vs. optical/CD: Who has made the switch?

I moved from a nondescript technics player to digital quite a few years back. The first digital system I used was a linux based system that used cdparanoia as its ripper and lame and its encoder. cdparanoia rereads the bits until it is sure it is reading them properly. My new system is a simple itunes based system (I like the interface) w/ an extra external drive acting as a backup. The rips are to 320k mp3 for portability w/ an extra itunes airport for connecting to a proper stereo system. The main advantage of having the hard drive based system is that your entire music collection is accessible and furthermore you can listen to mixes w/out having to continuously flip cds. "Random" helps you rediscover old music you haven't taken out in ages :)
