A PC in my bedroom held most of my music. My CD's in the living room were all ripped to hard drives. The Roku soundbridge was feeding my Behringer DAC. All was well.....until my internal media drive (running as slave) crashed. I replaced it with a 300 gig.
...My 250gig USB LaCie drive started to hang up and cause whatever software was accessing it to hang. Several months later, it crashed.
Now I'm just about done. It takes a long time to RIP all my CD's and I'm getting tired of having to do it over and over again.
I'm sending my Rotel 1070 cd player out to be repaired - maybe sold afterwards for something better.
I'm not going to rip any more CD's until they make more reliable hard drives or other storage solutions. If anyone knows of such a drive already, I'm all ears.
