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

I completely ripped my 4,000ish cd collection in Vortexbox (a linux distro) and have a complete backup offline and also remote in case of failure. I keep my most listened to albums on a Pogoplug running VAMP which is basically a small black box that has an ethernet port and some usb ports one of which has an usb dac connected and one has a flash drive for storage. I control this via my smart phone. It is fanless and uses less than 10 watts of power. I am a huge fan of KISS (keep it simple s*head) and if you saw my speakers in the garage you would understand. I feel like the more complex something is the more chance of setup error their is. This setup runs 24x7 and if I want background music I just turn on the amplifier connected to it. Also I can access this music on my iPhone via iPeng if I want to listen around the house or on my fireTV in the basement or... You get the idea.
