I'm waiting for this whole copy protection thing to finalize to some degree but I'd prefer a ripped to HD solution over a changer. I can backup a large hard drive but moving parts wear out. At least that seems to be the case with anybody I know who opted for CD changers for their sound system.

In any case, I won't be building such a solution until I have amassed enough spare computer parts to keep the price at a minimal. Actually, I'm never more than a new video card away from building one with all the crap I have laying around.

Two to four Thousand just seems like a lot to prevent a quick walk to change a DVD.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
