ooooohhhkaayyy...

This thread having been successfully revived, I posit the following to those of you who have conquered the frontier:

If you were going to start ripping FLAC files to eventually archive/replace CD changers (one of which is no longer "changing" so well...), would you create BOTH an MP3 and FLAC file during the ripping process (presumably with MAREO) or just get the FLAC and find some utility to batch convert the FLACs to MP3s later as necessary for portable devices?

How much disk space do I need for 800 CD's worth of FLAC files?

If you needed a computer front-end and interface to play tunes WITH A REMOTE CONTROL, what would you do? IRMON, USB-UIRT, Girder, etc. Don't tell me M MCE. I've got XP all over the house and I'm not changing OS's for this project. I'd like to use my trusty MX-700 to control playback of music on the computer.

I don't feel like buying squeezeboxes since I already have computers and softsqueeze.

What is your preferred file naming schema from EAC?

Harumph.

The server is still running, btw. And Synchback is a rockin backup program.
