RE: cMP - the open source high-end Memory Player-Newbie Question

Just get a 5400 rpm drive from a reputable manufacturer. I have used seagate and samsung in my cmp2 rig with no issues, but I have never had a hard drive crash (I guess I will now :) )

The 5400 rpm is usually quieter draws less power than the faster drives and well cplay reads into memory before playing so speed is wasted in this app.

For .wav files a 500gb hdd would hold about 1,000 typical cds. 2,000 for a terrabyte so buy accordingly. You could get more if you went with flac. That is a can of worms in general but in this project stick with .wav.

Also on the advance portion of the build, there are was to mod the Juli@ for bnc and even I2s output:
