RE: Please post your experiences with music stored on a hard drive

It's a bit onerous to get started but I prefer the computer. Here's what I have done.

Connected my laptop to my computer screen so I can sit in my chair with my wireless mouse and keybpard. Connected the computer to my Line Magnetic 502CA DAC via the USB and my CD player via SPDIF.

All my music is on an external hard drive that I try and remember to save to another hard drive just in case.

I play using Foobar2000 which isn't the greatest in terms of prettiness but it never drops out or pauses or hiccups or anything. Nor does it do anything to annoy me - and that's half the battle. Though I do toy with buying J-River since it's pretty cheap and the interface looks a lot better.

So I can sit on my butt and use my mouse and select all my songs and videos.

Next step is to buy a 55+ inch TV and I'll be set.
